Hey Everyone! After discussing the legalities with our local MPP, Municipality, By-law enforcement, and finally the Brant County Health Unit; The Academy of Music and Performance has been given the green light to reopen our doors! We understand that our clients may still be apprehensive about attending live lessons, so online lessons are still available with your instructor.... We have been made aware of the strict protocols for reopening and we're pumped to say that we can accommodate them all! The entire facility will be cleaned and disinfected before opening our doors. All of our instructors are required to disinfect their individual rooms, instruments, and other teaching utensils regularly and between each lesson. Our Instructors must maintain a distance of two meters from their student througout their lessons. Any shared instruments must be disinfected prior to another individual's use. We are asking everyone to practice social distancing and in doing so we have to limit the amount of traffic in our waiting area. We are asking guardians waiting with students that you wait outside of the building for your instructor to come great you, or text you for your scheduled lesson. The next few days are going to be hectic as we plan our reopening. We would appreciate hearing your opinions, concerns, and questions. We will work towards making all of you as happy and comfortable as possible. Feel free to connect with your instructor individually if you like for any additional information that you require. We're beyond excited, and we thank all of you for sticking with us throughout this tough time. For all other inquiries, feel free to message our page or contact us through email or phone. Compliments, The AMP studio family. [email protected] 5198653156 5197740070

Ryan Jarvis here! Check my student out! She's so talented and this is so rewarding. Maddi is a girl that has benefitted from an abundance of musical instructors. Laura Cavacece is so dialed in. Joan Minnery encouraging her students to play live and teaching so well. Lastly there's me. More of a old punk rocker giving her tips and yelling at her. Regardless, these are the moments that melt an instructors heart and make us love what we do. May our future rock stars learn from this. So proud Maddisyn Challe

It's a very difficult time for small business owners. Most of us our doing everything we can to stay afloat. So just wanted to thank the person(s) that ripped our business sign off our building and trashed it. Joseph Vinegar O'Connor and I took great pride in our sign, and it's not something that we can just easily replace. We love our location and being a part of a group of entrepreneurs that are trying to give our downtown a positive reputation. Not fun getting kicked when you're down.

Especially now, as we're facing prolonged isolation and a loss of our physical sense of community - music has an important role to play in our lives as we learn to cope with #socialdistancing and the #coronavirus. Check out this great article on the psychological benefits that music has to offer - and reach out to find out more about how we can get you and yours set up with online lessons, right from the safety and security of your own home.
