A.M.P. “Accelerated Music Program”

A.M.P. is a program for students at Radha School of Music who want a deeper and more well rounded music education. The program is designed to dive into topics such as music theory, ear training, technique, fundamentals, improvisation, composition, and more. A.M.P. students are placed in groups with other students of a similar level following a curriculum created by teachers at Radha School of Music. This brings in the element of healthy competition and being inspired and encouraged by the community of other likeminded dedicated students.

A.M.P. vs Pre-A.M.P.

Pre-A.M.P. is a version of A.M.P. for beginner-intermediate students. A.M.P. is for intermediate students. Our A.M.P. directors will place each student in the correct program based on how much they already know (determined in the placement assessment).
