​​Our Vision - Why join Murrumba Music Academy?

High Performance Music boasts a proud tradition of outstanding music education. It provides talented and dedicated young musicians with opportunities to enhance their musical potential as performers, composers and musicologists. 

The 4-year program links with the instrumental music program to develop students' overall musicianship. This holistic approach fosters critical, higher order thinking skills applicable to all areas of life.  We strive to provide our students with opportunities which extend beyond the classroom walls to produce authentic, real-world experiences. Partnerships are key to the success of our program and enable students to learn from industry professionals while developing students' musical style, confidence and communication.

This program is designed for students who are currently learning an instrument either at school or privately, or have a particular flair for vocals and singing. The Academy will provide opportunities for extension work for students​ in collaboration with renowned musicians and talented teaching staff.
