AMPA Overview

1

The Academy of Music and Performing Arts views the arts as essential to the human spirit. We engage and support students who have a passion for music and/or performing arts. Students are prepared to make informed future educational and career choices by immersing them in challenging and rigorous performance programs which are fused with academics, evolving technologies, and professional experiences. This is a place of artistic integrity, where students may collaborate on artistic endeavors to expand their technique and knowledge. 

 

AMPA is a qualified educational program which develops students through a curriculum that integrates the performing arts and college preparatory academies. AMPA students can choose from a variety of AP courses, join any club, and take classes after school through the on-campus West LA College program or any other accredited community college. Our graduation rate is 95% and AMPA students are also proud to be admitted to renowned conservatories and top universities. We create and develop critical thinking as well as develop students academically, artistically, and socially; so they leave school as independent, cooperative, responsible and creative young adults.

Dia de Los Muertos and Los Alebrije
 
On November 1st and November 2nd, Hamilton's Banda Los Alebrijes performed in for Dia de Los Muertos paying honor and respect to our past loved ones. Dia de Los Muertos is a celebration of life where families welcome back the souls of their loved ones for a brief reunion that the favorite meals and items of an individual. Thank you to Los Alebrijes for a wonderful and touching performance.

We've had a busy October! As part of our recruiting efforts we offered a set of Saturday Workshops to prospective students. The event was well attended and everyone had a great time learning about AMPA. Additionally we started our performance season with the production of Clue! This fun murder mystery had us dying of laughter. We are looking forward to our Fall Piano Recital this week and then quickly following the rest of our performances for the semester. More event details and tickets can be found at hamiltonmusic.org/events/
