Academy of Musical Performance (AMP)
est. 2015
AMP is a non-profit organization offering contemporary music education programs to the youth of the Coachella Valley — regardless of a family's ability to pay. We've seen how the act of making music with a group of people offers lifelong benefits that develop a child's mental health and interpersonal skills, while simultaneously empowering them to embark upon a musical pathway of play and learning that they can chase for the rest of their lives. Up to 75% of our students participate in our programs through some form of Tuition Assistance.
AMP offers group performance programs to youth such as AMP Fall + Spring, AMP Summer, and preAMP. We also offer one-on-one Private Instruction, and community programs such as our Instrument Zoo.
Help support a child through our program by making a donation today, or becoming an AMP Angel by donating on a monthly basis.
