My children have been taking lessons with MAMM for many years, and involved with ensembles and bands for the past few years. There are so many positive aspects of MAMM, but I think the coolest thing has been the access MAMM provides for kids to play on some of the best stages in Portland. The instructors and coaching are top-notch. As an organization, MAMM is doing so many great things for kids and families in Portland and across the state. Very highly recommended!
Our experience was very disappointing, not only were we not satisfied with the class we signed our child up for, our experience of withdrawing from the class was so rigid that we were charged 3 months tuition for 3 weeks of classes. We felt we were treated like a number not a community member with legitimate concerns or needs that could have easily been handled with sensitivity but were met with coldness and indifference.

Our children have taken both Piano and Guitar lessons at MSOM, and we are thrilled with our experience. The lessons are energetic and focused on the kids. The teachers are very talented, and they bring a love of music/teaching that fosters a great learning environment . Our children get to pick the songs they want to learn, and their teachers support them enthusiastically. There is a sense of community at MSOM as the pupils all seem to be enjoying their experiences. While we have not yet participated, the school offers ensemble programs that seem to be a great way for like minded kids to team together and get an opportunity to showcase their skills in front of an audience. All around, a very positive experience.
I started taking Voice Lessons at Midcoast School of Music in 2009 when I was 12 years old. After taking lessons for a year, my parents signed me up for the Dream Girls ensemble. It was the best thing they could have done for me. Teachers, Matt and Stephanie Fogg taught me how to harmonize and sing in a group. They also taught me how to perform and use a microphone. As time went on I signed up for a variety of ensembles inculding Pop, Rock and Classic rock. The school always has a variety of genres to choose from giving everyone the oppurtunity to participate. As a high school senior, Midcoast School of Music has given me a strong musical foundation and has prepared me to attend a music college.
Excellent musicians teaching the next generation excellence.
