What we have once enjoyed

we can never lose.

All that we love deeply

becomes a part of us.  

    - Helen Keller 

ACAM students were asked what Helen Keller's words meant to them. Here are some of their responses:

When I first learned guitar, I began to play it more, and it became a routine. Also the community that has built up in ACAM (is something I can never lose.) 

                                – Bryant, 16

I can never lose what I have accomplished at ACAM.

                                – Daisy, 14

Once I learned music from ACAM, I couldn’t let it go. Music sort of became a part of me.

                                – Guadalupe, 11 

I enjoy having music in my life, it brightens me up a lot and gives me peace and calmness.

                               – Brianna, 11

Whenever we enjoy an instrument, we can never forget it. All instruments that I enjoy becomes part of my life.                

                                – Jorge, 14

I truly love and enjoy playing the violin - the way it sounds, the music I play with it.  

                                – Leslie, 12

Being in ACAM helped me realize how much music affects my life. Playing music became a part of me - something I can never lose.

                                – Ashley 14

These young artists have studied at ACAM four to ten years. We thank you for making it possible for them and so many others to develop a passion that will be a part of them as they grow into adults.
