Mt Gambier music school makes history

The Elder Conservatorium of Music has signed an historic agreement with a Mt Gambier school to help fast track its jazz students into a music degree.

Tenison Woods College has become the first school in 最新糖心Vlog to achieve university accreditation for its music students who are keen to proceed to tertiary study.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will give Tenison Woods' Year 13 Generations in Jazz Academy students automatic entry and credit towards the Elder Conservatorium's Diploma of Music (Jazz).

It will also provide students with the opportunity to be auditioned in Mt Gambier by university staff for the Bachelor of Music (Jazz Performance) degree.

In signing the pathway agreement, Elder Conservatorium Director Carl Crossin said the diploma could also be a stepping stone for some students to enter the degree course in their second year subject to a high level of achievement in the Diploma.

Mr Crossin said the Conservatorium's Jazz staff would work closely with the Mt Gambier students to help them gain the Diploma of Music by the end of the year.

This work will include participation in specialist ensembles and various aspects of jazz theory and performances.

The Generations in Jazz Academy program was formed at Tenison Woods College in 2010.
