Music technology has shifted the possibilities of how songwriters & composers create, and the JMC Music Production Diploma enables creatives to work in a practical way, focusing on core musicianship skills and industry-standard DAW platforms to create and produce your own music. The music production major is focused on the use of technology as a musical tool and encourages the adaptation of new technologies, and incorporation of new software, hardware, and other media alongside your music.

At JMC Academy, our Music Production course is designed around practical projects, with a strong focus on individual musicianship and developing a personal artistic style. With connections to APRA AMCOS and exchange programs globally, this course ensures you are able to develop critical business skills alongside your practice to launch your dream career.

Getting some time in the studio is a crucial part of your study at JMC and during the course, you’ll be working with live and virtual instruments to craft your music.

Designed for recording high-quality live performances, our songwriting suites and production studios feature ProTools, Logic, Ableton Live and Native Instruments, along with a variety of MIDI controllers, synthesisers, and top of the range microphones.
