Different Beat, Different Drum

Music Industry College is an innovative new educational facility in Brisbane, offering Year 11 and 12 students the opportunity to study for their QCE in a tertiary-style environment. Our focus is to empower young people to succeed in the music industry and in life.

The Directors of Music Industry College believe that each student is unique in personality, intelligence, ability, learning style, skills and knowledge. The uniqueness of each individual attending Music Industry College needs to be identified, acknowledged, encouraged, developed and expressed within the school educational setting.  It is the belief of the directors that true learning will only take place when the College staff and curriculum meets the student’s “real interest and educational needs”.

The College serves senior high school students (Years 11 and 12) who wish to develop and pursue their music passion within the creative industries sector. The Directors believe that by providing “real interest” integrated education students who at present struggle to see the relevance of curriculum offered at senior high school, and are in danger of not completing high school education, may be inspired to successfully complete their high school education. Music Industry College will assist students not only to creatively express themselves through live performance of music and successful CD production but also provide them with an opportunity to complete Year 12, achieve their Queensland Certificate of Education, obtain an OP score and proceed to university, TAFE and/or the workplace.
