Community at GJA

Music in all its forms.

At the heart of GJA is a vibrant, growing community built through open jams, artist performances, workshops, conversations and shared listening.

Beyond the classroom

Come to play—or simply listen.

Community at GJA is not another study programme. It is the public life of the Academy: places to meet musicians, try a tune, hear new work, learn from visiting artists and become part of Goa’s wider music network. Students, working musicians and curious listeners are all welcome.
