Certificate IV in Music Industry (Performance) at Melbourne Polytechnic

If you have music performance ability, but little or no theory or music notation knowledge, Melbourne Polytechnic's Certificate IV in Music Industry (Performance) is the next step towards the main stage. You'll learn the fundamentals of being a musician with an emphasis on performance. Melbourne is the music capital of Australia. We have more live music venues per capita than any other city in the world and the Victorian music industry contributes over $1.5 billion to the Australian economy, so you'll have plenty of chances to pick up your instrument. Melbourne Polytechnic's Certificate IV in Music Industry (Performance) will help you improve your musical skills and knowledge, both practical and theoretical. Develop your instrument skills through one-on-one tuition, performing contemporary and commercial music in bands and singing in a vocal ensemble.

You'll enjoy learning in our modern facilities that include recording studios, rehearsal spaces and performance theatres. Our students have access to rehearsal rooms set up with drum kits, pianos, PAs and amplifiers, and computer laboratories equipped with music software. Melbourne Polytechnic's music programs are highly regarded, and our alumni include founding members of ARIA-winning band Augie March, Stonefield and multi-CMC award winner, Jasmine Rae. You'll be taught by experienced, working musicians and have the opportunity to perform in venues around Melbourne as part of your course.
