Music enriches our lives, it helps us to communicate and express our feelings and emotions, it releases stress and even helps develop new pathways in the brain. It also teaches improvisation over many fields of learning, and creates a sense of community with other musicians. At the Australian Academy of Music we believe that music education is one of the most important vocations in our society. 

We are located in Brisbane's northern suburb of Brendale and have students joining us from suburbs all over the northern region.

Our customers vary in age from 5yrs to 75yrs of age and are interested in learning at varying paces. Our motto is 'Music your way' which basically means we adjust our way of teaching to suit the student's 'way of learning'. This may mean formal exam preparation, learning their favourite song, or just trying it out to see if they like the concept of learning an instrument!

We seek additional music teachers to join our community of teachers from time to time. Some of our teachers are with us 1-2 days a week and some 5 days. It is up to you how many days you want to make yourself available. 

We typically teach to the QLD Schools Terms (4 x ten week blocks per year) but for those teachers that want to work during school holiday periods we will take on extra bookings if students wish to keep learning. 

Working at the Academy is highly rewarding as we see our students show progress and as their confidence in themselves soars. We put on as many performance opportunities throughout the year as possible so we we can all see the fruits of the student and teacher's labour.

Successful candidates who apply to the Academy should possess teaching qualifications in their chosen instrument, as well as experience with teaching adults and children and preparation for AMEB & Rockschool exams. 

Valid Blue Card also required.
