We’ve built a solid reputation for successful music education and enrichment programs for kids in classical, jazz, rock, and roots music through our Elementary Division Core Program and our Summer Day Camps kids.  We’re pleased to present a great new option for parents...

Decatur AMP : a music enrichment program, after school from 3:00 to 6:30 pm, at the Decatur Music Center.  It's a unique program that empowers kids to grow and to express themselves through music.

Decatur AMP, which begins August 2 at the Decatur Music Center, is a safe and fun choice for families.  Parents can trust their children are somewhere beneficial, and kids learn new skills in an inspiring program.  AMP is designed and staffed by our faculty of professional music educators for students in grades K-6.  (Upper and lower elementary tracks available.)
