MAMM Camps
MAMM Rock And Roll Summer Camp
Maine Academy of Modern Music's popular Rock Camp Series provides young aspiring musicians a place where they can learn some serious Rock 'n' Roll, and have a seriously good time doing it! We offer a week-long crash course in modern music during which students will learn how to play in and run a real band of their own. This camp teaches how to get out of the garage and in to a studio or on to a stage.
Throughout the week kids are given opportunities to play in a rock band and learn how to play cover songs, as well as how to write an original song from scratch. While at Camp, the students are instructed by accomplished educators and members of local working bands who offer their own inside tips on self-promotion, booking, and gigging. The experience also offers campers the chance to talk with various professionals from the music biz while on the Camp’s several field trips to local radio stations & recording studios. Students will learn about the history of rock and even some music theory!

MAMM Recording Studio Camp
This camp is a recording musicians' dream! Students learn the fundamentals of recording a rock band in a state-of-the-art recording studio with one of Portland's top engineers. The camp is held at The Studio and led by engineer Jim Begley, an 11-year resident engineer at The Studio and live sound engineer of choice for countless bands and venues. Recording Studio Camp is a hands-on camp. Not only will students be using the same top-notch gear as the pros, but they will be working on a recording of a real live band! Past camps have engaged the services of popular bands, such as the internationally acclaimed Paranoid Social Club, featuring members of the Rustic Overtones.
This camp covers all the basics: pre-production, mic placement, over-dubbing, mixing, mastering, and inside tips and tricks of the trade.
