What to bring:
AIM will supply all backline equipment (amps, piano, mics, drum kits etc) but requires students to bring their own instruments. Paper and pen might be useful but not mandatory. If working through rehearsed material, a copy of the music is useful for our lecturers to reference during the sessions. Lunch & snacks, as we are in the CBD you have access to lots of food shops, but time is limited so come prepared.
