At ANAM, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of Liberian leaders and musicians through accessible, high-quality music education and holistic support. Our programs are designed to meet the diverse needs of children, teens, and adults—empowering individuals through the transformative power of music, education, and leadership. We believe in uplifting communities by shaping confident, creative, and compassionate individuals equipped with practical skills and a strong sense of purpose.
Below are the programs we offered:
Music for Children and Teens
Our flagship youth program offers year-round music education to underserved children and teens ages 3 to 17. Built on a holistic model, the program weaves together individual and group music lessons, choral activities, instrumental training, and performance opportunities with essential academic and personal development support.
At ANAM Liberia, we are committed to nurturing the whole child—musically, spiritually, creatively, and academically. While our core focus remains high-quality music education rooted in Liberia’s rich cultural heritage, we have expanded the program to include literacy support and homework assistance. These services help students build strong reading and writing skills, stay on track with schoolwork, and gain confidence in the classroom.
Recognizing the critical role nutrition plays in learning and development, we also provide daily nutritious meals to all participants. These meals ensure students have the energy and focus they need to fully engage in both musical instruction and academic activities.
Through this integrated approach—combining music, literacy, and nutritional care—ANAM empowers children to grow into creative leaders, active learners, and agents of change in their communities.
Professional Certificate Programs
Our certificate programs offer intensive, skill-based training for older youth and adults seeking to deepen their musicianship or serve in leadership roles. Each program runs for nine months and grants a formal certificate upon successful completion.
Tracks include:
Music Education
This program introduces students to basic music theory and sheet music reading. Students gain foundational skills in music theory, notation, and classroom instruction techniques. Students choose one instrument to specialize in and receive foundational training. It is designed for individuals with little or no background in music who want to become music teachers in schools, communities, and churches, and who want to serve as church musicians.
Playing Instruments by Ear
This program introduces students to learn to play various instruments by ear, focusing on ear training, chord progressions, and creative expression. Students learn to play and improvise without reading sheet music. This track is ideal for those who do not wish to read sheet music.
Worship and Leadership
This program equips students with the skills to lead worship and build their leadership abilities in music ministry. It covers the foundations of worship, weekly planning in worship, congregational song-leading, and team leadership for music ministries. It is designed for aspiring church musicians and worship leaders.
Through all our offerings, ANAM remains committed to accessibility, cultural integrity, and whole-person development. Our programs serve as a gateway to opportunity and self-expression—equipping young people and adults alike with the tools to thrive musically, spiritually, academically, and personally.
Coming January 2026: Girls Music Education & Leadership Program
The Agape National Academy of Music (ANAM) is proud to announce the launch of its Girls Music Education & Leadership Program in January 2026—an empowering initiative designed to give young girls in Liberia the opportunity to grow as musicians, scholars, and future leaders.
Through a combination of high-quality music education, leadership development, and literacy support, this program will offer girls from under-resourced communities the tools to thrive both academically and artistically. It will also create safe and supportive spaces where girls can build confidence, develop their voices, and become changemakers in their communities.
This program is urgently needed in Liberia, where many girls face limited access to quality education, gender-based violence, poverty, and social inequality. ANAM’s new initiative responds to these challenges by investing in the full potential of Liberia’s girls—through mentorship, community engagement, and access to the arts.
How it works
- ANAM will identify participants through a nationwide outreach campaign in partnership with women- and girl-led organizations and local schools.
- Female students currently enrolled in ANAM’s Music for Children and Teens program will be invited to apply.
- Informational sessions and open house events will be hosted at ANAM’s Monrovia campus to ensure broad community engagement and accessibility.
- Selected participants will receive intensive training in music performance, theory, ensemble work, public speaking, and leadership skills.
How you can help
- Scholarships and instruments for participating girls
- Teaching materials, books, and leadership training resources
- Honoraria for instructors and mentors
- Meals and transportation assistance to ensure full participation
- Community showcase events and advocacy opportunities
Join us in equipping Liberia’s next generation of female leaders. Together, we can raise girls who not only sing—but lead.
