Fee: $350

In this fun, five-day program, young musicians will play, sing, and create music together. With the guidance of teaching artist Sam Guglielmino of Mad River Music, they’ll explore diverse music styles, rehearse as a band, and prepare for a live performance in AMP’s main gallery on Friday, August 1, at 2pm. Musicians can bring their own instruments or try new ones—no experience needed! No audition is required.

In this five-day music program, your young musician will:

  • Play and sing in a real band.

  • Learn favorite songs—pop, rock, and R&B.

  • Be mentored by a pro musician.

  • Strike a balance between creative freedom and structure—to find their musical stride.

  • Rehearse, refine their techniques, and build confidence.

  • Learn how to jam with other musicians.

  • Try new instruments and rhythms.

  • Discover what they really can do!

This is a small group program. Space is limited.
