About Afro American Music Institute
The Afro-American Music Institute (AAMI) began in 1982 as a proprietary venture of founders Dr. James Johnson and his wife, Pamela. Consistent with its mission, the Afro-American Music Institute provides programs of excellence under the guidance and tutelage of its committed, professional staff and board members. It will continue to seek out those persons, especially youth for enrollment and completion of programs and courses offered at AAMI. Our experience indicates that youth who participate in AAMI programs gain a better sense of self-confidence, self-esteem, creativity and problem-solving skills.
