The Irish Institute of Music & Song (IIMS) is a world-facing music organisation that delivers a broad spectrum of learning, performance and wellbeing experiences for individuals, schools and businesses. Through its Music Academy it offers vocal and instrumental tuition for children and adults, while a vibrant network of choirs and ensembles - from the IIMS Children's Chorus to the GLÉAS Youth Trad Ensemble and workplace choirs - provides singing opportunities for all ages and abilities.

Its professional development portfolio includes CPD workshops for teachers, songwriting retreats, conducting masterclasses and corporate wellness programmes such as the Workplace Choir and team-building days. The campus features the state-of-the-art Lark Concert Hall, a 400-seat venue for local and international performances, as well as luxury Bedford accommodation and student dorms for visiting groups.

Conveniently situated just 20 minutes from Dublin Airport and a short walk from Balbriggan's train station and sandy beaches, IIMS serves learners and audiences across Ireland and beyond.
