What If:

all-female bands were as common as all-male bands? What if we could all name three Native-, Latin- & Asian-American musicians without thinking twice. What if it was ordinary to see a woman running the sound at a concert, or if female producers & engineers weren’t anomalies. What if there were more women at the top of record companies?

 

 

“IMA does incredibly fine work supporting women in music.

As a man, it’s been one
of the most profound experiences of my life to be on the receiving end of a woman expressing her full creative spirit.... It’s an honor to to work with this amazing group.”

--Taylor Johnson, T.H.E Microphones

 

 
 
“The Institute for the Musical Arts is a great idea that is long overdue.”--Bonnie Raitt, recording artist & IMA advisory board member
 

"The first time I walked into...(IMA), it took my breath away.

The place has a unique magic that opens you to your own voice and inner knowledge."
