If you’re vaguely thinking about studying music but also vaguely terrified of commitment, an Open Day is your one-day free trial. No strings attached. No awkward lectures and presentations. Just a chance to hang out, suss out the vibe, and maybe eat some popcorn while watching future stage stars in the making (including you?).
Here’s our top 5 reasons why coming to Open Day will help you:
1. You Will Find Your People
AIM prides itself on its diverse community, and we believe it will help you in your music journey. At Open Day, you’ll meet like-minded people who also love music a bit too much. Whether you’re into jazz flute, doom metal, or composing synthy soundtracks for imaginary movies, you will find someone here who gets you.
This isn’t just limited to other students in your cohort; it includes the whole AIM community, Academics, Alumni, Industry Connections, and more. Plus, you can chat with industry professionals, maybe even swap Instas with someone cool, and if you’re feeling brave…audition on the spot!
2. Real Talk from Real Musos
AIM is the only institution in Australia dedicated solely to music.
This means that the folks who teach here aren’t like your usual run-of-the-mill dusty textbook readers; you might get at other universities and institutions. They’re legit musicians, executives, producers, managers, and engineers. You can ask them all your burning questions, like “How do I actually make money doing this?” or “Do I really need to know music theory?” and get answers from people who live and breathe it every day; they don’t just talk about it.
3. Discover The Unlimited Options You Have with a Music Degree
Let’s be real: “music degree” can sound a bit vague. At Open Day, you’ll get the full breakdown. You’ll hear stories and advice from Academics, Alumni and Current Students who are working in artist management, music law, publishing, production, and more.
You’ll find out what kinds of jobs exist, how AIM’s industry connections and degrees can open doors into the music industry, how our courses work, and maybe even discover a path you didn’t know existed (hello, music supervision for Netflix originals?).
4. Snooping Encouraged
Take a peek behind the scenes: literally. The studios, rehearsal rooms, and performance spaces are open for tours, and they’re seriously impressive. Whether you’re dreaming of laying down tracks in a pro-level studio or just want to know what MIDI actually stands for, this is your chance to press buttons and ask questions.
5. It’s Fun. Like, Actually Fun.
We don’t want to brag, but where else can you eat popcorn while watching student music videos, test out your content creator chops with a social media setup, or learn how to stage-slap someone dramatically? (Yes. We’re serious. Come for the music, stay for the drama.)
Bonus reason? You’ll walk away either hyped to apply or, at the very least, with a better idea of what you don’t want to do, which is still a win.
See you there. Bring snacks. Or just eat ours.
