Central Iowa Music Lab

Central Iowa Music Lab (CIML) was created in 2009 by James Biehn, a prominent musician/instructor in the Des Moines area.

The goals of CIML are twofold:

  1. To give a student enough musical skills to creatively interact with other musicians
  2. To incorporate computer and Internet technology into each student’s lessons to help accelerate the learning process.

CIML offers:

  • Guitar lessons (group or individual)
  • Bass guitar lessons
  • Drums lessons
  • Piano lessons
  • Voice lessons
  • Violin lessons
  • Music theory lessons
  • Songwriting lessons
  • “Rock Band Class” in which intermediate/advanced students can join each other to learn songs with coaching from experienced musician/bandleaders.

We hope to add more instrument lessons in the near future. If we don’t offer your instrument yet please email us to let us know you’re interested.
