About the university

The Jazz Music Institute (JMI) is a small private college in Bowen Hills, Brisbane, that teaches only jazz performance. It offers a three-year Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance and a one-year Diploma of Music in Jazz Performance, both open to international students.

Indian musicians who want focused, performance-based jazz training look at JMI. Every applicant must pass an audition, in person or by Zoom, covering repertoire, scales and arpeggios, and a theory and aural test. JMI is a specialist college and is not in university rankings.
