Our Mission:
Maine Academy of Modern Music uses the power of music to inspire students, foster creative collaboration, and build community.
Our Vision:
All Maine students have access to quality music education that empowers and develops creative and resilient community members.
Core Values
At MAMM, we believe in the transformational power of music to enrich quality of life. We provide a healthy, positive, and fun outlet for creative expression and an environment to practice important life skills. Our core values are rooted in the important role music plays in cultivating harmony, resilience, leadership, and community.
HARMONY: We teach our students that together we can achieve great things. Music is an important tool that promotes communication, teamwork, and cooperation.
RESILIENCE: In the belief that learning from failure makes us stronger: each new note, chord, beat, or measure provides an opportunity to get it right or improve.
LEADERSHIP: Through collaboration and performance, students develop confidence in themselves, their voice, and their ability to make an impact on the world.
COMMUNITY: Music brings people together. MAMM programs and events connect students to their communities, foster relationships through shared experiences, and engage audiences across Maine.
“MAMM is an inspiring program and necessary sounding board for aspiring young artists & musicians. They continue to help elevate our community by bringing family & friends together through the magic and education of music.”
— Ryan Flaherty of Muddy Ruckus
