Academy created? Central to the Australian Keyboard Academy's philosophy is creating music. A curriculum that engages students through activities involving ensemble performance, composition, improvisation and working with music technology. The Australian Keyboard Academy's view is echoed in the 2005 National Review of Music Education reporting that not enough is being done to promote music creativity, composition, improvisation and music technology in Australian Schools. The review continues to state that, "it is possible that students may progress through the different levels of achievement without ever having a truly creative musical experience that a student may call his or her own" (Pascoe et al; 2005:47). The Australian Keyboard academy is extremely passionate about promoting a creative music education of the highest standard for all Australian children and raising the status of music education in the private sector and within Australian schools. Lorenzo Capitanio has dedicated more than half his life to the study of music and it has been a life long dream of Lorenzo to establish his own music Academy. The Australian Keyboard Academy is truly the fruits of his labour. Lorenzo has experienced and understands the profound influence music can make to a child's life and his goal is for all in the community regardless of their socio-economic circumstances to have access and the opportunity to learn music, and to experience the joy in creating music. Lorenzo is very excited about the Australian Keyboard Academy and invites everyone to come and experience the creative world of music. Pascoe, R., Leong, S., MacCallum, J.,
