Amplify is designed to help young musicians who already have a bit of experience on their instrument Amplify their talents.  Our program will teach you how to rehearse as a band and play songs together.  You will learn industry tips and tricks from seasoned professionals.  It all depends on the skill level of the students.  Some students might need help learning some cover songs, or you might have a band that needs help writing original material.  Our instructors are flexible and experienced enough to adapt to the learning progress of your child.

Is it open to all ages and genres?
All genres yes.  All ages no.  Our organization is dedicated to educating and empowering youth.  Our Amplify program is open to students aged 11-18.  Exceptions can be made if you’re a full band with one member who is 19.  Contact us to talk about options.

Is there a performance at the end of the program?
Yes, at the end of the 8 week program we produce a live concert on a weekend for family and friends.  This is a great time for your student and their band to showcase what they’ve been working on.  The performance will be filmed and an edited version will be available to purchase.

What further resources are available after the program is complete?
Your student will have access to our mentorship corner on discord for the rest of their life and can reach out to our community of mentors at any point in their musical career.  From time to time we may select a ‘Amplify Showcase’ band which will continue to perform in their community at schools and public events and will be the local role models for other young musicians wanting to do something similar.
