The Blue Ridge Irish Music School (BRIMS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching the living art of Irish traditional music and fostering a dynamic environment for it in Central Virginia and beyond. Our objective is to teach people that music can be more than just a radio or concert experience: it can also be part of the fabric of everyday life, family, and community.

The school works toward these goals of education and outreach by offering individual music lessons, group classes, master classes, and céilí dances. It strives to build and maintain networks and communication among its students, other musicians, the music community in Ireland, and the larger Central Virginia community.
