The Atlanta Institute of Music and Media proudly welcomes Joshua Grau as its new Vice President. After graduating from Florida Atlantic University with a Master of Arts in Teaching and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Guitar Performance, Joshua accepted teaching positions at Brevard Music Center and Barton College in North Carolina. Later, Josh distinguished himself by spearheading Florida’s first program in Music Technology and Sound Engineering for the high school division at Miami Lakes Educational Center (Miami Dade County Public Schools) where he soon became the Academy Leader of the school’s department of Communication and Entertainment Technology. In the mid-2000s, Joshua accepted the position as Director of Education for SAE Institute of Technology/Atlanta, and a few years later was appointed National Academic Coordinator for SAE Institute USA, where he helped manage academics and curriculum development for seven U.S. campus locations—perfecting the implementation e-learning platforms such as Moodle, Canvas, and CampusVue. A seasoned musician and performer, Joshua studied guitar formally with Ken Keaton, Rene Gonzalez, Gene Bertoncini, and Oren Fader. He also performed in numerous master classes hosted by such notable greats as Christopher Parkening, Pepe Romero, Sharon Isbin and Juan Mercadal. In the studio, Joshua provided guitar tracks on records released by RCA/Jive Records, Charisma Records, and Capitol Records—many of which reached Billboard Top 40. In short, we believe Joshua Grau couldn’t be more well-equipped for his position at AIMM: his innovative accomplishments as an educator are matched only by his stellar experiences as a performer. We at AIMM eagerly await our future with Joshua on the team! #aimmlife (at Atlanta Institute of Music)
