BIMM Dublin is located on Francis Street in Dublin City Centre.  BIMM provides a springboard into the world of contemporary music through an education experience that explores technique, music culture, artistry, technology and business, thoroughly and creatively, to enable every student to define realistic career goals in order to achieve excellence and reward in their chosen path.

All BIMM tutors are music industry professionals, who are also dedicated teachers.  They teach at BIMM because of their commitment to music education.

BIMM cares about quality musical performance and has created an environment where  students  can develop as both performers and music industry professionals, within a thriving contemporary music scene .

The Conservatoire has had a long and very fruitful relationship with Lyric Opera Productions, giving students valuable professional experience through participation in Lyric Opera productions, and nurturing students in the whole process of opera production.  Selected students have the opportunity to participate in Lyric Opera productions and in associated workshops run by Lyric Opera.  Most recently, students from the Conservatoire have taken part in Lyric Opera's productions of Le nozze di Figaro at the National Concert Hall; Aida, La Traviata and Rusalka at the Gaiety Theatre; and The Mikado at Buxton Opera House.  

TU Dublin Junior Conservatoire of Music and Drama is pleased to have formed a partnership with the Pianos Plus Schools.
