Education Guide: AGME

If for some reason or another you can’t physically go to a building and study, you should look into doing it by distance here. 

The Australian Guild of Music Education is a non-profit organisation providing distance education solely in the field of Music Education. Their aim is to provide students with skills/knowledge that they can use in any music industry-related career (music teaching, live performance, composing/arranging, recording, examination, music retail, music computer software and multimedia, music publishing, and many other music careers). Students gain a wide range of knowledge in all subjects; this prepares students when choosing to develop on any one single skill plus use another skill in music to gain income in the music industry. 

The Guild holds live lectures at the Kooyong campus, allowing students to have more involvement with lecturers and students. Distance students are able to contact lecturers via Skype, phone forums, chat and email regarding any questions in business hours. Lecturers/tutors will make contact or discuss in person with students about any concerns they may have regarding subjects and always work with the student on ways to strengthen any weaknesses. All lecturers are musicians and educators of high standing in their field of expertise. The Australian Guild of Music Education offers career-focused training in a whole range of courses from Certificate II, III and IV through to Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and Bachelor Degrees.. 

The courses they teach, and the ways they teach them are practical and in step with current industry practice. They develop the courses for the in-demand jobs, in close collaboration with industry, and give you the qualities and qualifications employers seek. Their class sizes are small, so you will enjoy the benefits of quality contact with your teachers and fellow students.

The Guild’s teaching is flexible, so you can find the mode of study that suits you best. Their qualifications are accredited nationally and recognised internationally, so wherever your life takes you, your qualification will be behind you and The Guild’s graduates are living, working proof.
