“At AIM we were so fortunate to have working professionals to teach us. Their first-hand experience and advice were invaluable to me”

“I would recommend studying at AIM if you want to practice being a real musician in a safe environment. Put your ego on the side. Put yourself out there and enjoy it!”

Keen to learn more about recording your tunes at home and taking them further? We are stoked to announce a new short course at AIM designed for musicians, producers and composers to fine-tune their skills and become an Ableton Live pro.

Creative Production Techniques focuses on 5 key areas of production: Creating your sonic identity, practical sound design, creative environments, thinking outside the box and mastering cohesion.

You can take this rad new class online two ways: five Saturday arvos or a one day intensive. For more details and to book, hit the link in our stories. May all of you awesome musos out there have an inspired weekend, whatever your home studio vibe is. ❤️

Amazing things can come from creating music in an online world - in particular, gaining a whole new range of skills as a performer and artist! ⁠

We'd love you to check out this snippet from the graduating recital of Melbourne Contemporary student @brontemorrison. Bronte started preparing for a live recital at the start of Study Period 2, but lockdown forced her and her band to find a new way to present her work. ⁠
⁠
We are so proud of all our students who continually step up and create such incredible work together - even while we're apart!⁠

R U OK? Are your mates ok? How are they really?

We’ve all been going through it a little bit more than usual lately, and perhaps someone has asked you how you’re feeling and you decided to lie because you didn’t want to burden them? This can be true for many of your mates out there so check in more than once. Start the convo today to see if they are really ok.

For some helpful resources on how to keep the convo going in a mindful and helpful way, head to @ruokday.

And if YOU are needing someone to talk to remember, our Student Wellbeing team are here to help.

You are never a burden.
