 As a community music center, we know the power of arts education and its effectiveness in boosting student engagement and contributing to greater student achievement in other academic areas.

We believe that creative expression is an inherent right for all, and through our Partnership Programs we build collaborative, sustainable partnerships with schools and non profits to provide expanded access to music education in Maine.
