Welcome to MyAcademy, the Academy of Music & Sound's Virtual Learning Environment
AMS Contingency Plan in Case Students Need to Isolate or Local Restrictions Prohibit Activities A Letter to all students from our Principal Steve Ryan: October 2020 Dear Students, staff, parents and guardians, At the Academy, across our 4 national campuses, we have now seen the welcome return of our musicians and singers as well as welcoming 50 new musicians to AMSonline from around the world. We have Academies in Exeter, Gateshead, Glasgow and Edinburgh and any brief watch of the Covid updates will have told you the pandemic situations and local restrictions are very different in those locations. As such, whilst cautiously reopening our doors, we are reviewing the situation daily to maximise Covid safety whilst trying to balance the opportunity to study music creatively and the positive effect this has on the wellbeing of students and staff alike. The Music Industry itself is facing the biggest battle for survival it has ever faced. All musicians will have a part to play in creating a new model. A new model that requires a whole bunch of new skills and approaches. At the Academy, as at all music education Institutions, we are working hard to equip our students with the skills to make and record great music but also how to earn a living from those skills in an ever changing landscape. Those new skills have never been needed more than now. It would seem imperative to me that at a music college run by musicians for musicians that we must keep the faith in each other’s talents, encourage every progression and welcome the hearing of each new piece of music whilst listening to the concerns each of us has about the place our communities find themselves in at present. Please stay safe, keep playing and keep talking to each other… to misquote: It takes a village to bring up a musician. Best wishes, Steve Ryan Principal The Academy of Music and Sound Steve.ryan@academyodmusic.ac.uk ![]()
