Benefits of Music

Our AFTH Youth Music Enrichment Programs, are popular with schools, community centers, youth facilities, and faith based organizations!  

AFTH Youth Music Program sessions are held:  before, during , or  as part of an after school or homeschool program between 9am-6pm

Individual lessons are also offered in segments of: 20min, 30min  or 45 min. once or twice a week.

After School Programs AFTH offers these after school music enrichment programs to facilities throughout Atlanta and the surrounding areas. Our programs were created to supplement current arts programming, as well as provide access to facilities located in underserved arts areas. We currently offer three unique builder programs: (Subsidized programming)

AFTH Youth Harp Program: (youth ages 6 yrs to 17 yrs) Our music enrichment programs were created to provide music programming to organizations that currently do not offer a music-curricula as well as to supplement, current programs that are looking for a unique addition for their students.

AFTH Music Technology Program: (youth and music students) Though AFTH specializes in group harp instruction, we also realize that in a tech savvy world it is important also to add a technology component to our programs. In this program, students will learn the basics of music production using software such as: Presonus studio one, Garage Band and Pro Tools. They will also learn how to write and compose music using well-noted music software Finale.

AFTH Voice Program: Providing students the opportunity to learn how to sing and play the harp simultaneously. This program teaches students using a 20/20/20 method: 20 minutes learning to play a song of interest on the harp; 20 minutes warming up voice and learning a song and 20 minutes putting the two together.

Here are a few other programs worth mentioning!
