To our AMP community—

This is not an easy message to share.

Since 2015, Academy of Musical Performance has been more than a program, it has been a place where young musicians found their voice, built confidence, formed friendships, and experienced the joy of creating something together.

We have watched students walk in unsure and walk out transformed, stepping onto stages for the first time, writing their own music, collaborating as bands, and discovering a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the classroom. Those moments, and the people behind them, are what define AMP.

After deep reflection, the Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to temporarily pause program operations.

This decision comes following a period of reduced activity and the conclusion of our studio lease. While these changes are significant, they do not reflect the value or impact of what AMP has meant to this community.

We want to be clear: this is hopefully not the end of AMP.
The organization will remain a registered non-profit, and we are taking this time to thoughtfully consider what the next chapter could look like.

To our students: your creativity, courage, and growth are the legacy of this program.
To our families: thank you for trusting us with your young artists.
To our instructors and partners: your passion made this work possible.

And to everyone who has supported AMP along the way—thank you for believing in the power of music and community.

We will carry these stories forward as we reflect, regroup, and explore what’s next.

With deep gratitude,
Board of Directors
