With more than 50 years as an education provider, the Australian Institute of Music (AIM) is Australia’s largest tertiary music institution and is internationally renowned as a leading independent education provider in the music, entertainment and performing arts industries.
Founded by Dr Peter Calvo as the Sydney Guitar School in 1968, AIM now operates across two national campuses, offering the most diverse range of fully accredited music and creative arts programs to international and domestic students at campuses in both Melbourne and Sydney.
AIM provides industry-leading education that inspires and prepares passionate people, worldwide, to develop sustainable careers. We seek to empower our students by encouraging them to embrace their skills and push themselves further.

Our high-quality, fully accredited tertiary bachelor and postgraduate programs, as well as industry short courses, all balance practice, performance and theory – and are all taught by industry experts with volumes of practical industry experience.

Respect for passion.
Nurturing individual talent and creative development.

Facilitation of professional employment in global creative industries.

At AIM we’re committed to developing and promoting the next generation of Australian performing arts talent, both personally and professionally, by providing a platform to help promote our student's music through our 'Off The Record' series.
‘Off The Record’ is a monthly AIM initiative where we invite up-and-coming AIM talent to perform live and an in-depth interview explore the music industry, personal stories and their relationship with their music where we ask where they’re going and how they plan to do it.
The series exists for the sole purpose of showcasing the wide array of exceptional student talent that sits outside our established genres here at AIM. In other words, it's about highlighting a side of AIM you might not usually hear about or see.
It's a platform for our current students and alumni to step up and share their stories and music across our wide subscriber base and +200k social media followers.
