Why join ACMA?

    ACMA was established to provide a supportive, non-critical environment
    for the classical music amateur. With its emphasis on technical perfection
    and competition, the U.S. classical music industry rarely provides networking
    and performance opportunities for the dedicated non-professional.

    However, at our monthly meeting, any musician may perform a short work
    of their choice in front of an audience of both fellow amateurs and
    appreciative audience members.

    Our meetings are an interactive experience, providing the following
    benefits:
    For the performer, an opportunity to conquer "stage fright" and refine the
    finer points of their stage presence by playing in front of an audience
    For the audience, the chance to offer feedback directly to the performer,
    as well as observe the performance preparation process

    ACMA wants to remind its members that classical music can be fun
    and enjoyable! Our organization will never focus on comparing members'
    musical abilities. Rather, ACMA is a group of collaborative, supportive
    members that love their art as much as a professional. Perfection is not
    required, only enthusiasm and appreciation of great works of music.

    Who can join ACMA?

    We are open to any classical music non-professional, preferably 18 years
    or older. Although musical expertise is not required, at least a basic ability
    with an instrument is desired, as well as the intention to perform in front of
    others at a future date.

    When/ Where does ACMA meet?

    ACMA meets on a monthly basis. Members will be notified via e-mail ahead
    of time will directions, time, etc. At each meeting, we provide an opportunity
    for members to meet and network, as well as enjoy performances by
