Welcome to MyAcademy, the Academy of Music & Sound's Virtual Learning Environment    

*Coronavirus News*

All AMS Centres are now closed and teaching will continue online.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to close all our centres to avoid the spread of COVID-19 amongst our students and teachers. Students please keep in touch: staff and teachers are available by email and a programme of online lessons will be arranged for you. Your Centre Manager and Course Coordinator will be in touch to tell you all about how this will work. All the resources for the classes can be found here, on MyAcademy, as ususal.

This will be for for the foreseeable future and the re-opening will depend on advice from central government.

It is important to stay in contact with your tutors and Course Coordinator to discuss how assessments can be adapted to suit you doing them at home.

HNC and HND Students - Music

All assessments that can continue to be done while students are at home will continue as per the assignent brief. Your teacher may adapt these slightly, so keep in contact with your teacher and Course Coordinator to discuss the plan for each unit. We await the decision from SQA on how we proceed with assessment that cannot be done from home. SQA are in discussions with the Department of Education and will inform us when a decision is reached.

GCSE Re-Sits

The government has cancelled all GCSE and A Level exams and are working on ways to award grades based on mock exams, previous achievement and coursework. It is therefore essential that you continue to engage with your online GCSE Re-take lessons. Work with your teacher to generate the coursework evidence you may need to attain your grade at the end of the Summer term.
