"This is the first proggramme I've seen that really addresses the challenge facing the modern recording musician. Yes, technique is important but so are the fundamental skills of composition, time-keeping and generating great tunes"
Steve Harris - Producer, The Bluetones, Longpigs, Hurricane #1
" Touring's great if you can survuve it. I've been on the road for 18 months with the band but we still have to play every show like the first night, that's what being a professional is all about. Theory's fine but musicians need to meet players out there doing it - who can tell them like it really is!"
Mark Rich, Skunk Anansie
"Having been associated with the Academy since it's initiation, I can honestly say that I really believe in the school's philosophy. ACM is equipping students with the skills that are essential to the performing musician and as a result are creating players that understand the industry and what's required of them in order to be succesful"
Kev Nixon - Manager, Kula Shaker
"Before studying at ACM I was destined to be a hairdresser. However one year later I'm playing in front of 20,000 people a night on the Boyzone world tour, it's amazing. Everyone at the school is so supportive of my career and deciding to study at ACM was the best decision I've ever made"
Tim Pearson - ACM Class of '96
