Flexible scheduling around concerts or if AMPS is putting on a special program. Sectionals and individual lessons are incorporated into blocked rehearsal time. Additional Remarks 90-minutes of rehearsal time is too long for students. Instructors need to incorporate more creative teaching strategies and a variety of curriculum to hold students interests. Before deciding to offer music classes for full block, music instructors worked out schedules to make sure stduents were able to take all 4 years of music and meet graduation requirements, as well as the University of Minnesota entrance requirements.
Community is very supportive of the arts.
Parents are especially pleased with the AMPS program.
