The Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute (AISOI) is firmly acknowledged as one of the most innovative and professionally structured orchestral training schools in the country. It is also a major research focus for the development of appropriate assessment tools for large musical ensembles within the tertiary sector. With strong links to industry through the Tasmania Symphony Orchestra and the international conductors and tutors on staff, AISOI proposes a curriculum delivery and assessment model that bridges tertiary and industry requirements and demands.
