ASSOCIATIONS

Here are some of the organizations the LA Music Academy works with on a variety of levels.


NASM - National Association of Schools of Music
The LA Music Academy is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. Founded in 1924, NASM is an organization of schools, conservatories, colleges, and universities. It has approximately 600 accredited institutional members and establishes national standards for undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as other credentials.




IAJE - International Association of Jazz Educators
The LA Music Academy is a member of the International Association for Jazz Education, whose mission is to assure the continued worldwide growth and development of jazz and jazz education. As a part of that mission, the Association initiates programs which nurture and promote the understanding and appreciation of jazz and its heritage, provide leadership to educators regarding curricula and performance, assist teachers and practitioners with information and resources, and take an active part in organizing clinics, festivals, and symposia at local, regional, national, and international levels. Founded in the United States in 1968 as the National Association of Jazz Educators (NAJE), the organization formally changed its name to the International Association of Jazz Educators (IAJE) in 1989 to more accurately reflect its membership base and global commitment to jazz education. Presently, active memberships total upwards of 8,000 teachers, musicians, students, music industry representatives, and enthusiasts in 35 countries.




NAMM - National Association of Music Merchants
Over the past century, NAMM has proudly represented the industry that brings the gift of music into people's lives. What started in May of 1901 as a small grassroots organization of 52 founding Members has since blossomed into an international association representing more than 7,700 retailers and manufacturers of musical instruments and products from 85 countries worldwide. Everything NAMM does is intended to serve its Members and realize its mission of unifying, leading, and strengthening the global music products industry and increasing active participation in music making. Every year, LA Music Academy students are able to visit the famed NAMM show in nearby Anaheim.




SEVIS - Student and Exchange Visitor Information Service
The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is a government, computerized system that maintains and manages data about foreign students and exchange visitors during their stay in the United States. For more than 50 years, U.S. educational institutions have been required to maintain such information about foreign students studying at their facilities. In the past, this was a decentralized, inefficient, and paper-driven system. SEVIS, for the first time, automates and centralizes this data. SEVIS allows for real-time access to this information and helps students comply with the terms of their visas.
