Performance is Everything at Good Vibes Music Academy!
At Good Vibes Music Academy, performance isn’t just something we do—it’s one of our Five Pillars and a core part of what makes a musician. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or already rocking the stage, we believe that performing is the ultimate way to build confidence, develop musicianship, and truly experience the joy of music. That’s why we provide some of the best and most exciting performance opportunities around, giving our students real-world experience in front of an audience.
Band Night – March 23rd at The Phoenix Centre
This is it—the first-ever GVMA Band Night! Our bands have been working hard, and now it's time to bring that energy to the stage. This event is exclusively for under-18 bands, giving young musicians a proper gig experience with lights, a full PA, and an audience ready to cheer them on. Band Night is all about collaboration, creativity, and musicality in action. Whether you’re in Band 101 or have formed your own group, this is the perfect chance to show what you’ve got!
Your Space – Monthly Open Mic Night
Your Space is exactly that—YOUR space to get up and play! These relaxed, friendly open mic nights happen every month at GVMA, giving students a chance to perform in an encouraging, low-pressure setting. Whether you're a solo act, a duo, or want to try out a new song with friends, Your Space is the perfect place to gain experience, overcome performance nerves, and share your music with a supportive audience.
