AMS Online is back, open to applicants for January 2020 starts
Online music courses for flexible distance study. The Academy of Music and Sound’s online music teaching platform AMS Online is taking applicants for a January 2020 start, and encouraging those who already have industry experience, to fast-track to the final year of a BA.
In January AMS Online will be kicking off the winter term with a host of new students. There are still spaces, and we’re encouraging new applicants from all locations, ages and backgrounds (although some previous musical experience is required).
AMS Online offers professional teaching in aspects of music production, performance and business to those interested in a career in the industry or those with existing industry experience seeking to hone their skills. They provide the facility to study flexibility, at your pace, wherever you are in the world, making this the perfect facility for touring or busy musicians.
“My time with AMS has added so much to my professional and personal life and it’s an experience I would recommend to any musician.”
– Beth Goudie, Winner of the AMS Songwriting Graduation Award 2019
13 different countries are now home to AMS Online students, making the school an international music educator. Students learn from industry experts via Skype, online tutorials and individual sessions.
Those with MUSIC INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE are encouraged to fast-track the first year of a BA in Music and Sound and skip straight to the final year – you could get a degree in half the time. Plus no need drop existing commitments, online study means you can take your degree with you on the road. This is a great opportunity for working musicians to get the most out of study and work in a competitive sector.
AMS understand that it is not just about having performance skills to succeed in the music industry. They specialise in teaching multifaceted aspects of the music industry, giving students the skills to succeed in a range of careers in a competitive industry.
