What we aim to solve
The Coachella Valley is filled with young musicians who have a passion for rock music. These young people are often not able to afford lessons, are not able to find other musicians to play in a band with, nor do they know yet how to work together. They have not yet learned how to work to express their feelings in a song both musically and lyrically. They have never performed in front of a live audience.
The Academy of Musical Performance provides them with the training to do all of that and more. It gives them real life skills by teaching them to work together to create, communicate and collaborate as part of a rock band that writes real music and gives live performances in regular venues throughout the Desert.
AMP hears stories back from parents about how their children have found their music home, their music community. They talk about how their child was introverted or depressed ; now are confident, among friends. Parents are grateful for the life skills and positivity.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
