Bay Area Music Project

THE LEARNING CONTINUES AT BAMP! WE'RE GETTING READY FOR IN-PERSON AND ONLINE MUSIC EXPERIENCES THIS FALL!

This fall BAMP is keeping the music alive through pod music instruction, traditional core instrumental classes and project-based workshops such as Composing for Video Games and Films, SoundLab, Ukulele and Music Exploration to name a few! New workshops will be added as we go. Kids of all ages, backgrounds and abilities are welcome to experience the joy of making music together. Click to find out more.

Bay Area Music Project (BAMP) is a non-profit, El Sistema inspired in- and after-school music education program serving the social, emotional, cultural and academic needs of children. Alameda Music Project, the flagship chapter program operates 5 days per week, providing on-site music instruction and academic support to over 160 children in Kindergarten through eighth grade, in the socioeconomically diverse West End of Alameda, California. A new, innovative string and digital media production middle school program launched in September of 2019 at a Title 1 STEAM middle school in Alameda.

At BAMP, no child or family is ever turned away because of financial limitations. All students participating receive high-quality music instruction in both small group and orchestra settings plus all necessary musical supplies (instruments, song books, etc), a nutritious snack and academic support during the school year. We empower children to discover their highest potential through musical instruction and performance experiences in a collaborative, orchestral environment that helps build confidence, compassion and teamwork. Children learn the importance of collaboration and cooperation in and outside the ensemble; they learn how to become one voice, and through their shared experience, grow stronger as individuals and as a community.
