The strategy of ACAM’s program is three-fold:
1. At the individual level.
Students, in order to explore and develop their individual talents, engage concurrently in all aspects of ACAM’s program. Students develop self-confidence and a love of performance: they are proud of what they have learned and want to share it with others. In the group classes students learn to work cooperatively, commit to a common goal and be responsible to self and the group. Performances inspire others to engage in learning an instrument and becoming involved. “I can do that, too!”
2. At the ensemble level.
Having created a large learning community at the individual level, students are ready to hone their skills in a collective environment through ensemble work and eventually, in an orchestra setting.
3. At the interdisciplinary level.
Through collective self-discipline, confidence, and an ability to coordinate work towards group production and performance, an interdisciplinary group will be created that will pull together all the three arts components of the ACAM: dance, music and theatre.
