THE BIGGER PICTURE

Overview
The Blues Music Victoria Music Academy is a groundbreaking initiative based in Victoria, Australia, designed to offer a comprehensive education in the blues music genre. With a focus on catering to students of varying skill levels and backgrounds, the academy aims to provide a range of courses that evolve from basic to advanced levels over time.

Outcomes
This innovative Blues Music Academy promises numerous benefits for its stakeholders. Students will gain access to high-quality blues music education, learn from experienced teachers and musicians, and have the opportunity to perform in front of audiences. Teachers can mentor aspiring blues musicians, collaborate with peers, and discover new talent. Blues Clubs stand to benefit by accessing a pool of talented musicians for live performances, promoting blues music to wider audiences, and fostering connections within the local blues music community.

Intent
The proposed operating format involves a structured training program for music teachers to become endorsed Blues Music Victoria Teachers. Teachers will undergo online training sessions covering various aspects of blues music, culminating in an endorsement from BMV. Endorsed teachers can then impart their knowledge to students, who can receive a Certificate of Completion under the BMV banner. This initiative aims to create a vibrant blues community across Victoria, catering to students in both regional areas and those affiliated with local blues clubs.
