Change your world
one NOTE at a time. 

Turn your passion for music production into a sustainable career! JMC Academy (Australia) has intakes in February, June and September.

We see you. Your head is filled with beats; you hear an interesting noise and you want to sample it; you're constantly humming catchy hooks and you love how music has the power to transport, transform and lift a space. You're talented, and you're serious about making music.

We see you, and we want to help you turn that passion into a career.  Our Music Production major is designed for musicians who consider their main 'instrument' an EDI (Electronic Digital Interface); or for those who might primarily use a laptop or production suite to create their own recordings and music media projects.

Fast-track your understanding of the music industry by learning from experienced teachers, masterclasses and internships. Learn how to promote yourself and your music, develop discipline and management skills, and learn to collaborate with other artists as you spend your days surrounded by creative and passionate people.

I contacted [JMC] and the team were really responsive and helpful, so I applied for the Music degree.

Moving to Melbourne was like a dream come true. I had always wanted to experience life in Australia. Coming from a chaotic environment back home to something serene was exactly the change I needed. It never felt difficult to make friends at JMC because everyone was really friendly and welcoming from the very first day.

STUDENTS SPEAK

JMC Academy is a place that breaths creativity and potential. All day I am finding myself surrounded by likeminded students, as dedicated and passionate about their art as they are friendly and caring about their fellow schoolmates. Together we are given the opportunity to explore and develop as individual artists, putting our knowledge and experiences into practice, achieving goals, setting new ones, and constantly expanding our world of creations.

JMC has become a place where I can explore my potential and creativity, develop my skills and embrace new challenges and where my thoughts and feelings can be embodied through the art in which I express myself - music.

I just love the approach, compared to back home, it's so different in that everyone will have a chance to throw some ideas in a class, people are willing to listen, take your idea and then maybe expand your idea in a class. I cam from a very small town, without much performance opportunity, but here you can gig pretty much every week if you want.

The people at JMC were so friendly with me. I always felt welcomed, people were really interested to get to know me, people were so kind and made you feel at home. The best thing about JMC was meeting people from different creative fields, and that allows you to build new relationships to work and create different content and collaborate with them.

I love that all the teachers are professional musicians who also work and live in the music field. Having a chance to go see your teacher perform at their own gig is an experience beyond studying.
