AIMM’s History
Founder Steve Freeman developed the mission statement of the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media in September 1985.
It was revised in December 1993 by the governing board of the Atlanta Institute of Music and Media to better define the type of instruction offered and to add the non-discriminatory clause.
Another revision was made in July 1997 by its President, Nite Driscoll, to better define AIMM’s purpose, which is to offer instruction and further develop the knowledge and talents of the non-beginning student, defined as one who already possesses or demonstrates an intermediate or better level of physical dexterity and aptitude relative to his or her instrument.
In 2008, AIMM expanded its offerings to include recording arts as a program of study.
