Ours is a world of lyrics and beats, creating music that lasts a lifetime

There are few things more exciting than writing your own music and bringing it to life. JMC’s Songwriting course is renowned for its hands-on practicality, a strong focus on individual musicianship, connections to APRA and Berklee College of Music, and for being a launchpad into the entertainment industry for all up-and-coming writers and composers.

Covering the essential tools for writing music to appeal to publishers, record labels and producers across genres and media channels, this course will help you to create your own music and lyrics, develop your instrumental skills, produce demos and perform your own songs.

STUDY TOURS + MUSIC CAMPS 

During your time with us you'll get the opportunities to participate in international masterclasses, study tours, and music and songwriting camps. JMC Music and Songwriting students can apply for The International Songwriters Camp at Haarlem Conservatory in the Netherlands and the Nandos Music Exchange in London.

TECH + SONGWRITING STUDIOS 

Designed for recording high-quality demos and mastering performance, our studios feature ProTools, Logic, Ableton Live and Native Instruments, along with MIDI keyboard controllers and monitors, top of the range microphones and over 30 (national) fully fitted rehearsal studios and performance spaces equipped with digital and baby grand pianos, drumkits and an array of amplifiers.

LENGTH

In only 2 years you can graduate with a Bachelor degree thanks to our accelerated full-time course. Part-time study is also available to domestic students. International students many choose to complete the course in 3 years [CRICOS 058463A] rather than the accelerated 2 year option.

CAREERS IN THE INDUSTRY 

The architects of the music industry, songwriters create the lyrics and the sounds that we connect with, the music that makes the world go around – so they are in great demand across the entertainment spectrum. JMC’s graduates now work in advertising agencies, compose for film and TV, perform and professionally record their own work, and gig all over the world.
