Biography

Amateur Music Network (AMN) celebrates the amateur in all of us. AMN believes that whether playing and singing for pleasure, performing music for our primary careers, or just listening, music is how we share our deepest emotional selves. At Amateur Music Network, music is available to everyone, regardless of skill, and to participate in music is one of life’s greatest pleasures. AMN is open to all; all ages and all genres/interests are welcome. If you haven’t sung or played in a long time, if you’ve been singing or playing regularly for years, if you’re a long-time musician trying out a new instrument or style to add to your skill set, or even if you've never sung or picked up an instrument before—Amateur Music Network is for you. AMN envisions a world where music is an integral part of life, where all people experience the joy of playing, singing, and listening, and where access to music-making is available, encouraged, and celebrated.
