Do you try to sing along to your fave Freddie Mercury song and while he sounds like a golden god, you sound like someone who wouldn’t make it past the first round of Australia’s Got Talent? Have you tried countless instruments but you just can't get the rhythm right?

Don’t stress, if you’re not musically gifted but still bloody love tunes, not all hope is lost. The truth is, you don’t need to be a musician to work in music.

What you really need is passion. If you focus on the score during the climax of a film, if certain songs give you goosebumps or if you only appreciate a game when it has music to guide you along then you’re on the right track.

The other thing you need is a qualification, and we’ve found a cracking course that’ll give you just that.

JMC Academy is here for you to live your musical dreams with an abundance of creative courses. There is one course, in particular, that will open doors to countless potential careers; the world of music is infinite these days with jobs like music producer, studio engineer, programmer, sound effects editor, mastering engineer and sound designer just name a few.

If you wanna land those gigs, you should be looking into a Bachelor of Creative Technology (Audio Engineering & Sound Production) at JMC Academy. It’s hands-on and jam-packed with learning the fundamentals of sound and music production, the operation of both studio and live sound equipment and event audio production.

You'll be given the opportunity to work with the latest and greatest gear in sophisticated recording studios like:

  • SSL Duality 48 Channel consoles
  • Pro Tools HD DAWs
  • Neuman and Moyer mics
  • Outboards and lab distressors

With all this you’ll be able to master post-production, surround sound and large-scale live sound systems, develop an area of specialisation, and create a tailored showreel designed to kick-start your career in the industry.                 

And in just two years you can graduate with a bachelor degree thanks JMC’s accelerated full-time course.

One of the best bits is there’s no ATAR needed to apply. As long as you’ve finished Year 12, you’ll just need to fill out an application and complete an interview - easy peasy.

Freddie Mercury wouldn’t be Freddie Mercury without the background sound workers so what are you waiting for? Click here to suss out more info on the course and get keen to enter a crazy career that allows you to collaborate, get creative and make the magic of music come to life.
