hunting for emerging artists
‘Life-changing’ and ‘found my tribe’ are a few of the ways graduates describe the CMAA Academy of Country Music and now more young artists have the chance to join this unique opportunity.
This is the only course of its type in the world and aspiring young artists and their parents have the chance to bond with and learn from the cream of the Australian country music crop.
The Academy junior course applications are now open with places limited.
Ten-time Golden Guitar winner Lyn Bowtell leads The Academy as director with fellow Golden Guitar winner and Bushwackers member Roger Corbett as general manager and group leaders include 2022 Toyota Star Maker Max Jackson, and Golden Guitar winners David Carter and Aleyce Simmonds, touring multi-instrumentalist Liam Kennedy-Clark and other artists and musicians who are at the top of their games in the industry.
The intensive residential course runs in Tamworth from July 1-8 in the lead-up to the Hats Off to Country Festival for those aged under 18 years, and their parents.
Group leaders mentor the students and their parents through everything a career in music involves including performance, musicianship, song writing, music business, social media and media relations.
“Many of our junior students forge amazing careers in country music with graduates including James Johnston, Sinead Burgess, Jessica Mauboy, Max Jackson, Judah Kelly, Melanie Dyer and many more who continue to have great success,” Roger Corbett said.
“Parents are very much a part of their child’s early music career, so we mentor them on how to best manage their talented child.”
Guest songwriters and industry leaders will also visit The Academy for song writing and music business-related topics which they will present to the students and their parents.
“The students continue to surprise me with the amount of growth they undergo from when they enter The Academy to the Graduation Concert,” Lyn said.
“I also love helping parents navigate the music industry to support their talented child’s career and we get to witness what amazing careers many of our graduates go on to have.”

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
