If you are a high school student with a real passion for music, now’s your chance to step things up. Auditioning to study at AIM could be the start of something big for you. Whether you’re a vocalist, instrumentalist, or composer, AIM offers a space where you can share your talent and get personal, constructive feedback in a relaxed and encouraged environment. This is your opportunity to explore your potential and see where your music can take you. Why wait?
Kailesh Reitmann, an AIM Composition alumni, had an experience that many aspiring musicians can relate to…deciding where to study. What ultimately led him to AIM? It was the one-on-one audition. “I found it to be very personable and encouraging. At the time, I was deciding whether to study at another college or at AIM. The one-on-one audition I had was actually the convincing factor to go with AIM”.
AIM values each student’s talent and potential, and that starts right from the audition process. It’s not just about your technical ability, but also about your passion, your goals, and how AIM can help you to achieve them.
Audition Time: Get Excited!
Get ready for a fun and laid-back audition experience at AIM that’s all about you and your music. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Timing: You’ve got a full 30 minutes to shine! Perform your best work and chat with us about your musical journey and future goals.
- Location: Once you’ve submitted your application, you can choose your campus for the big day. We have a Sydney and Melbourne campus.
- Preparation: Give us the lowdown on your music journey. Prepare an intro about yourself and your musical experience. Don’t forget to bring a device with your backing tracks. Or, if you have an accompanist, let us know ahead of time so we can hook you up with the perfect space!
But what if I can’t make it in person? No problem! AIM also offers online auditions or portfolio submissions. Just upload your files in the right formats, toss in a quick intro video, and tell us what you’re all about and why you want to study with us.
