What is Amplify Music Program?

A transformative music initiative empowering youth through creativity, mentorship, and community.


What We Offer

 

Instruction

Students receive guidance from experienced musicians and mentors who help them grow on their instruments through hands-on support, practice strategies, and personalized feedback. Whether building confidence or refining technique, students are encouraged every step of the way.

Production

Students learn the art and science of capturing, editing, and mixing sound. Using industry-standard software and hands-on studio experience, they explore everything from podcasting and music production to sound design and audio engineering. Whether behind the mic or behind the board, students develop technical skills and creative confidence to bring their sonic ideas to life.

performance

Amplify students gain real-world experience by performing at prominent local venues and community events. These performances give students the chance to showcase their talent on professional stages, build confidence, and connect with live audiences beyond the classroom.

what are people saying?

 
I really enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone and connecting with other musicians. It was so nice to have a creative outlet. I loved having something to look forward to each week to push me to keep playing and practicing. The coaches/mentors in the program are amazing and I was so inspired to improve my skills. I gained vocal confidence and the knowledge that initiative can get me really anywhere I want to be!
