Academy of Musical Performance

The Academy of Musical Performance is a contemporary music education program whose goal is to enrich the lives of young musicians living in the Coachella Valley by fostering productivity and social responsibility through creativity, communication and collaboration in the development and enhancement of musical performance and concert production skills through participation in a "rock band" style educational setting.

AMP offers multiple forward-thinking music programs to students between ages 8—18 to engage young people in music making. AMP's Rock Band programs teach youth how to play in a band and facilitates performances throughout the community, keeping kids engaged in positive community-based activities. AMP's Private Lesson program offers affordable and accessible lessons for beginners-to-advanced musicians. preAMP offers group lessons on ukulele to children.

AMP is known for its outstanding summer program, AMP Summer Camp, featuring the Valley's top musicians teaching, in small rock band format, Coachella Valley's young musicians in their performance and concert production skills through rehearsals, workshops, individual instruction, and live performances. AMP quickly expanded our programming to offer AMP Fall and Spring, continuing the rock band education and experience throughout the school year, along with building other programs such as preAMP and AMP’s Instrument Zoo.
