Calling all homeschoolers, remote schoolers, public schoolers, private schoolers who play brass, woodwind, or percussion instruments (or would like to learn) and would like to be involved in a band and enjoy playing with other local students!  Our students also have the opportunity to audition for Olympic Conference Honors Band.

All student groups perform 2 concerts per year.

If you are a parent who plays a band instrument and would like to play along in your child's group, you are also welcome!

MidAtlantic Music Academy is a successful band program that has existed since 1998 in South Jersey. (We were formerly known as "South Jersey Homeschool Band.")
