Internships

“…ACMC helped me grow as a future educator, musician and overall person; from the office hours to the days spent at workshop there was never a day I didn’t learn something new. During my time at ACMC I was able to get out of the box and explore many ideas and learn different styles of teaching.”

– Maria Elena, Workshop/Education Intern
