Students

There are a variety of ways to meet and interact with AMFS music students:

  • Become an AMFS Host Family
    Open a bedroom in your home to a music student for the summer. We will carefully match you with a music student in financial need--your generous act will make their dreams come true. Feel great helping the AMFS and a young person, get to know your student, and enjoy their performances and the music with free tickets or passes and invitations to private events.
