Lessons
Our individual lessons for students of ALL AGES and ANY SKILL LEVEL are the core of our programs. Our private instruction is provided by the area's best performers and educators, all bringing real-world experience to the lessons. MAMM's instructors tailor their approach to each student and their individual needs and interests, rather than following a rigid curriculum. MAMM currently offers lessons in voice, guitar, bass, drums, piano, saxophone, brass, songwriting, home recording/production, and synthesizers. Remote lessons are an option, and occur via Google Meet (videoconferencing-ready laptop, phone, or tablet required). We also offer joint/group lessons offered to friends or family who wish to take lessons together.

"Thank you for giving these kids the opportunity…all the opportunities. We remain in awe of what you've made at MAMM and how profoundly it has reached our son. By finding his voice musically, he's found himself."
