“I’m so grateful for my time at AIM for so many reasons but the one that I wanted to mention is that I now feel so confident and empowered to call myself a creator and a theatre maker. Not just an actor or a singer or dancer, but a true story teller that has had their tools sharpened by the best mentors. Without AIM I would never have felt empowered to write my own stuff, or even fathomed writing my own musical!”

Completing her Music Theatre degree online, Sophia Campion submitted this filmed version of an original piece, composed with fellow #aimer James Court, as part of her graduating recital.

Proving that lots of things are possible in this digital space, check out ‘The Bingo Song’.

If you are still waiting to apply, do it now! Auditions and submissions will close soon 🧨 Head to the link in our bio to send in an enquiry and get your career in music underway.

We're proud of our students for staying busy and creative during 2021. During study break, we wanted to share some more incredible work created by our AIMers. ⁠
⁠

Kicking off in 2022, our new Contemporary Brass and Reed program.⁠
⁠
As described by Academic Lecturer Ben Gurton, "this program is designed to teach the skills required to be a ‘horn’ (trumpet, saxophone, trombone) player in the 21st century contemporary music world. Students will experience pop/funk horn section playing and arranging, studio recording in the world class AIM studios, playing musicals with the musical theatre department, crossing over into classical rehearsals and working with the composition and arts management students."⁠
⁠
As a specialised stream within the Bachelor of Music (Contemporary) program it will include expert guest lecturers like @danelaboyrie pictured here with Ben performing with Tim Minchin, ready to share their performance and rehearsal experiences.⁠
⁠
ENQUIRE NOW! ➡️ link in bio.

As we wrap up 2021, we thought we'd take a look back at the incredible music created by our AIMers this year.⁠
⁠
Scored by AIM lecturer Nicholas Gentile and written by Cheryl Sawyer, opera Émilie & Voltaire presents three geniuses under one roof for a single climactic day during the Enlightenment. The intimate conflict reveals their fears and jealousies, their ambitions and desires—and at its heart is the extraordinary Émilie du Châtelet, whose contributions to mathematics and science resonate in our own time. ⁠

2022 is approaching FAST! This also means our first study intake for the year will be here in no time. 🧨⁠

We're on holidays! Both AIM campuses are now shut for the Christmas/NY break but, before we go, we want to share just how grateful we are to have such amazing staff who have helped us through another ever-changing year.⁠
⁠
Thanks to everyone for their incredible efforts working with our students and guiding them towards success in person and online.

As we wrap up 2021, we thought we'd take a look back at the incredible music created by our AIMers this year. ⁠
⁠
Songwriter and Sydney Alum Rhi Miles @thatrhianna created a particularly exquisite music video for her tune "Twenty-Three" in 2021. On this song, she is joined by Isobel Knight (piano), Esther Maria (violin) and Gracie Jean, Abigail Wighton and Jenny Denny (vocals). Filmed by Ro Miles with the help of his wife Anita (starring their daughter Lilla). Edited and directed by Rhianna herself. ⁠

Att: Brass & Reed players! If you are looking for a course that will empower you to work across genres and set you up to take advantage of the incredible demand for talented players for the horn section right now ... Look. No. Further. With the help of trombone legend Ben Gurton, we’ve developed a stream within the Bachelor of Music (Contemporary) course that will empower you to develop the skills required to take on these amazing opportunities.

Ben will mentor students to work with live bands, record as session players in the studio, appear in musical theatre productions and take on touring and performance gigs. He will also connect students to industry. His incredible performance and recording credits include Guy Sebastian, Jessica Mauboy, Noel Gallagher, Michael Buble, Tones And I, Tim Minchin, Florence And The Machine, Sarah Blasko, Michael Bolton and Jerry Lewis. Find out more about Ben and the program by checking out our newest news update via the link in our stories.
