Video Testimonial

Shambhavi, who was in our first-ever batch of the programme, talks about the experience of learning music and composition at GJA, precisely the gaps that this programme helped her fill in her musical education.

Programme Overview

After completing this programme, you will feel comfortable with music theory enough that you should be able to write your own songs, learn how to analyse and reharmonize songs that you like and use practical software tools to help you compose music.

The GJA Experience

Joining GJA is the best academy you will find in Goa to gear U up with all the necessary Musical Skills whether be it Theoretically or Practically in order to be a very efficient and effective musician. The classes are very goal-oriented and the Saturday Jams are the best part of the place. The thing with Jazz music is if u learn it, u can go out there and play any music and communicate with any type of musician there is. 100 percent recommend

Siddharth Chettiar

This is a great place for exposure! AND learning music at the same time as a musician, amongst the musical environment that the school has to offer! Was wonderful! Being a part of it and learning a lot from not just the educational POV but also the musical vibe! the place offers! A must recommend for musicians to experience and learn😊😃
