The Jazz Music Institute (JMI) teaching method is a hands on creative approach, the most effective and efficient way to learn about music performance theory and harmony.

Our method is designed so that anyone of any standard can improvise and also learn about music theory/harmony and its application to performance. Not only do you learn to improvise you will also unravel the complexity of music theory and harmony with a logical, systematic and easy to understand approach.

Taught in a jazz context, the course will help you to understand the concepts behind all styles of music including rock, pop, folk, modern dance music and classical. The course content is an excellent background for songwriting. On successful completion of our course you will be capable of analysing any chord sequence and improvise over it. You will be able to compose music in a variety of styles and your musicianship skills will be of the highest level in performance and theory knowledge.

JMI is far and away the best value for money of any music course on offer, because it is practically focused with the majority of class time spent playing your instrument.

The JMI educators hold Certificate IV in Assessment and Workplace Training and our Advanced Diploma of Music. As well as being professional musicians, all our educators are involved in the annual review process of the course.
