competition and the second largest in the world. If you are
selected as a member of the Generations in Jazz Academy you will complete a year’s study under the direction
of Graeme Lyall AM.
Learn and earn in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment
It’s no coincidence that the Generations in Jazz Academy is located in Mount Gambier as this has been the home of
Youth Jazz in Australia for more than 25 years. With
students from across Australia and overseas coming to study
in Mount Gambier you will be part of a specially selected
group of gifted musicians with the potential to excel.
More than any other specialist jazz music program in
Australia, the Generations in Jazz Academy will enable you
to study, rehearse and perform with Australia’s top jazz
artists and teachers. This program provides a unique gateway
to enable you to continue with tertiary music studies or
launch your career as a professional musician.
Selected Academy students may also be able to provide
tuition to junior students in the region to develop the next
generation of gifted musicians. Other employment
opportunities may also be available in the region.
