What is AMP'D Music School?
At AMP’D, we believe music has the power to light up every classroom and bring out the best in every child. As a relatively new service, we offer passionate, professional musicians and teachers who provide engaging music lessons directly in primary schools across the Leicestershire area. Our sessions are energetic, creative, and filled with encouragement, designed to help children learn music, build confidence, foster teamwork, and develop a lifelong love of music. From the first beat to the final performance, we make every lesson an unforgettable experience that rocks!

'As a child, I generally struggled in school from a young age, and after a late diagnosis revealing I was neurodivergent, I found it challenging to learn music and make my education enjoyable. Things changed when I met my secondary school music teacher; he taught me that it was okay to be who I am, and that if harnessed the right way, music could change my entire life—and it did. AMP'D is my way of extending that same hand to other children in Leicestershire. If AMP'D music school inspires just one child to pursue a life of music through engaging music lessons, then I am very content with my life.' - Richard Bates, Managing Director
