Young musicians at UMA summer program
Students, ages 10-16 are having the opportunity to attend a week long summer music program at UMA. The program is sponsored by the Maine Academy of Modern Music. You can read the article in the Kennebec Journal written by Paul Koenig, and see a video of the students in action by clicking here.
Be In Love – Playing for Change – Playing for Maine
Recently in the Portland area the Maine Academy of Modern Music (MAMM) decided to create their own Playing for Change video. They partnered with a number of local filmmakers, musicians, and students to make their own video in the style of the Playing For Change “Songs Around The World” series. They selected the song by Portland musician Dominic Lavoie, “Be In Love”.
MAMM also made a commitment to raising awareness and the value of music education in the lives of young people by providing a series of local concerts in various locations in Portland.
I was surprised and very happy to see a former student of mine singing in the video, Sara Richardson.
