JUNIOR ACADEMY 2024
Applications are now OPEN! 📣

The Junior Academy will run in Tamworth, NSW from 14 - 20 July 2024, and will incorporate the unique Parent Course, which runs alongside the Junior Course for young singer/songwriter/performers and instrumentalists.

The Academy places emphasis on nurturing different creative styles within the broad definition of country music today. Our course runs for seven days culminating in a graduation concert in front of a live audience. Students receive intense tuition in every aspect of country music including performance, songwriting, musicianship, working in a group and harmony singing.

Our intensive instrumental course runs alongside the singer/songwriter/performer course and the two compliment each other. Aimed at young musicians who want to improve their musicianship, learn about reading and writing chord and number charts, connect with likeminded peers and have the opportunity to play as part of a band. Many aspects of the SSP course are entwined with the instrumental course, but instrumentalists also receive tuition specific to them, the instruments they play and working with a band.

Places for this prestigious course are highly sought after so don’t delay in submitting your application. Applications will close on 30 April 2024 and are open to students aged 17 and under.

For more information and to complete your application, please head to our website (link in bio) or tag any young singers/songwriters/performers/musicians who you know below!
