The AMPD Band Experience: Forming a Real Rock Band

Have you ever dreamed of playing in a rock band? On Track Music’s famous AMPD Student Rock Band Program turns that dream into reality. A.M.P.’D stands for the Alliance of Music Professionals—an exclusive rock band training program that teaches students the right way to assemble and run a band. It’s more than jamming with friends; it’s a structured path to performing live music.

How the Program Works

• Teacher‑Recommended Enrollment: To ensure each band functions smoothly, students join AMPD by teacher recommendation once their basic skills are in place.
  
• Mix of Ages and Styles: Bands are formed with students of similar age, level and musical interests. Whether you love classic rock, pop or metal, there’s a band for you.
  
• Weekly Rehearsals: Groups rehearse every week in On Track’s professionally equipped studio, fostering collaboration and camaraderie.
  
• Public Performances: AMPD bands enjoy numerous performance opportunities. They headline On Track’s biggest events—Student Fest, Summer Jam and Winter Expo—and often perform at community venues.
  
• Creative Freedom: Students help pick songs, choose their band name and participate in photo shoots, building pride and ownership.
  

Why Join an AMPD Band?

Playing in a band teaches essential musical and life skills. Students learn to listen, communicate and collaborate. They build confidence through live shows and make lasting friendships with bandmates. Parents note that the program dramatically boosts playing skills and self‑confidence, and many adult students have realized lifelong dreams of performing with a band. If you want to put your private lesson skills into action and feel the thrill of performing, AMPD is the perfect next step.
