Since 2006, the Guitar Institute has been an integral part of London's Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP), and guitar students benefit from studying, playing and performing alongside like-minded drummers, bass players and vocalists.

The ICMP is proud to be a sponsor of Guitar Idol, an online talent search to find the hottest 'undiscovered' guitarists in the world. Thousands of guitarists will battle for 12 places to perform live on the main stage at the massive London International Music Show in June 2009 and be crowned Worldwide Guitar Idol 2009. |
In addition, the extensive ICMP facilities and teaching faculty provides access to music business, studio, technology and industry expertise for all students, and the ICMP's unrivalled network into the live and recorded music scene means there has never been a better opportunity to develop your career.
Many places try to copy our formula but of course there is only one Institute, the first and still the best way to make it as a guitarist in the music business!
