The advanced music programme (MAMP) at Macleans is curently offered for the study of voice.  Students are usually expected to have reached a minimum of grade 5 standard to be enrolled in this programme.  Visiting specialist teachers carry out individual lessons during the normal school day. Lessons are 30 minutes each and are organised on a rotating timetable to minimise disruption to curriculum classes.  Students are expected to catch up on any work missed from their curriculum classes due to music lessons.
