Access Music Project

Access Music Project Logo

Invested in the transformative power of music, Access Music Project (AMP) is a music education centre connecting young people with their creative identities and opportunities in the creative economy, in partnership with local schools. AMP is currently the only means by which children in Makhanda’s historically disadvantaged schools have access to formal music education and training.

AMP's vision is for South Africa’s youth to have equal ACCESS to music education, creative industry, cultural heritage and artistic possibilities.
