The Irish Institute of Music & Song

The Irish Institute of Music & Song The campus includes Lark Concerts, Bedford House Accommodation and the La La Restaurant

The Irish Institute of Music and Song is a campus located in North Dublin, Balbriggan that hosts music lessons, education, live events, retreats and summer school. Fingal Academy of Music (FAOM) was founded by Michael Dawson to provide children of all ages a fun & focused environment in which to develop their musical talents. Since then, FAOM has grown to become a centre of excellence for musical

training in North County Dublin and has recently rebranded to the IIMS Academy. Our team of skilled teachers have a genuine passion for cultivating young talent, tutoring our students of all skill-levels to master the instruments they enjoy playing. Whether your child wants to learn for the joy of playing an instrument or is keen to pass their musical grades, our teachers will work with them to develop and hone their skills.

We are honoured to receive this significant support from Music Network. The Irish Institute of Music and Song (IIMS), home to The Lark Concert Hall at the IIMS, is a non-profit organisation dedicated to transforming Ireland’s musical landscape by expanding access to world-class music education, performance opportunities and experiences for all.

The arrival of a Steinway B grand piano at The Lark Concert Hall will be a milestone in our mission. It will enrich live performances for audiences, elevate the artistry of musicians who record here, and provide a standard of excellence that inspires all who engage with our work.

For the 1,100 students who learn with us on campus and through our outreach programmes in schools, this instrument will be more than a piano. It will represent Ireland’s commitment to excellence in music showing that a significant organisation like Music Network values the work we are doing at community, national, and international levels. For our students, it will stand as both an inspiration and a challenge: a standard of artistry they can strive to reach.
