CLASSES
Songwriting ensemble (REMOTE)
Do you think the only way to collaborate is in person? Think again! Students interested in collaborating together remotely to write and record original music have the opportunity to work with an instructor to hone their skills in songwriting and home recording. Groups meet remotely with a MAMM instructor twice weekly (one 45-minute meeting and one 30-minute meeting) to share progress and ideas and to set goals for the next meeting. Meetings occur via Google Meet and require a videoconferencing-ready laptop, phone, or tablet. Collaboration, connections, and musical growth are no longer limited by geography!
Tuition for MAMM Bands is $105 per month.
NEW THIS YEAR: Students enrolled in MAMM programming are now able to obtain academic credit through our partnership with Royal Academy. Learn more here.
