Meet the Directors of ARMI

ARMI Australian Rock & Metal Institute was founded by husband and wife team Christian and Connie Broome in January 2012.

Based in Adelaide, South Australia, ARMI was created from a shared passion for music, education and helping musicians develop the skills, confidence and experience to pursue their musical goals.

Over the years, ARMI has grown into a unique music education community for students of all ages, abilities and musical backgrounds. While ARMI is best known for its specialist focus on rock, metal and alternative music, students can explore a wide range of musical styles through lessons in vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keys, songwriting, bands and performance.

A Music School Built Around Students

From the beginning, Christian and Connie wanted ARMI to be more than simply a place to take music lessons.

Their goal was to create an environment where students could discover what they're capable of, build confidence, develop their musical identity and connect with other musicians.

“We've got a very strong youth focus, as you can imagine. The future of rock and metal music is safe and well in the hands of the youth. We're all about making dreams come true.” Christian Broome, ARMI Director

Connie shares the same passion for helping students find their potential:

“The talent of our students never ceases to amaze us. Setting up ARMI is something Christian and I have wanted to do for a long time. It's something for the students to believe in and to realise their full potential.”

Connie Broome, ARMI Director.

Supporting the Next Generation of Musicians

Christian and Connie believe that music education should be about more than learning an instrument.

At ARMI, students are encouraged to develop their musicianship, creativity, confidence and performance skills while learning from teachers who are active and experienced musicians.

From a beginner picking up an instrument for the first time to an experienced musician preparing for performances, recording or songwriting, ARMI aims to give students the skills and support to keep progressing.
