CEO & Dean’s Message
Darrell Ang
Honorary Dean
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Hitmaker Global Academy. I am glad that you are considering starting your education journey with us.
At Hitmaker, we pride ourselves on being a talent launchpad into the music industry. We specialise in training our students in the various stages of their music journey, from kick-starting their passions, to meeting the standards of elite school placements and finding a strong foothold in the competitive music and creative industry. Some of our students have made it to the world stage, performing internationally and studying at globally-acclaimed schools.
No matter where you are in life, here’s where you can find your place in a musical area of your interest, whether it’s classical, contemporary, or even entrepreneurship. We offer nine courses that cater to students of varied ages, levels, interests and aspirations. For example, there’s the Diploma of Music Composition for Film & TV, where students can find out about what it takes to write music that will enthral the world. There’s also the Diploma of Music Teaching, where you can grow your passion and in the near future, help mould promising musical talents of tomorrow. If you have a penchant for business, you might just find the Advanced Diploma & Entrepreneurship useful in taking the next step in their careers. I’d like to add that one of our specialisations lies in music production, which we offer in several of our courses. We also have industry-grade facilities and equipment, where our students work on actual projects, so that they can better experience what working in music production is like in the real world.
Our music courses are specially designed to emphasise practical learning, so that you can enter the working world with confidence to be the best at what you do. This pedagogy is largely anchored by the Global Experience (GEX) Workshop, a unique programme that emphasises hands-on learning guided by award-winning industry experts. The Workshop is a highlight of many of our courses. This 12-week programme is designed to simulate real-world settings, to give our students an edge when they leave us to join the working world. Students will learn to apply their knowledge according to our specially designed themes – Fame, Star, Live and Make – that will take them through the entire journey of what they need to succeed.
I extend my invitation for you to find out more about what we offer, and what being a student at Hitmaker Global Academy, and your life after that will be like. I look forward to welcoming you on campus soon.

CEO/DIRECTOR
Welcome to Hitmaker Global Academy!
As CEO and Principal of the School, it is my passion and mission to help our students along their journeys towards successful careers in the music industry. Some have said that it can be rather difficult for music students to find a stable job after graduation, but Hitmaker wants to change this. We do this through a unique and specialised pedagogy, where our students are well equipped with more than just knowledge, but also mindsets and skills that will help them thrive in the real world.
I sometimes put it this way: we are all ugly ducklings from the folktale, ready to transform into beautiful swans. And HItmaker, growth opportunities are aplenty, and we’ll be there for you every step of the way as you navigate the complexities of what you will face in the future.
Here’s where you can afford to make mistakes, and learn from them – you can trip, you can fall, but the magic of being in school is that you have us to help pull you back on your feet, and empower you to try even harder. When you graduate, armed with both knowledge and skills, you will be well on your way to rise above the challenges and successes of the working world.
Thank you for considering studying at Hitmaker Global Academy, and I can’t wait to meet you. Let us help you write your very own masterpiece of life together.
