The Midcoast School Of Music is happy to announce a new ensemble that will begin in mid-June featuring the music of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Clifford Brown! This ensemble will focus on jazz harmony, theory, and learning signature solos as a way of immersing themselves in this classic form of jazz. Leading this group will be renown jazz pianist Matt Fogg. Learn more here!

First, we have our new Led Zeppelin ensemble – the band that laid the foundation for future rock bands and whose influence is still being felt today. Next, we have an ensemble based on Journey, which covers a staple of pop music through the 1980′s. After that, we’re bringing back a crowd favorite for another encore – the Dreamgirls ensemble will be running again this June for all the ladies who want to let their voice soar. Finally, we haven’t forgotten about the adults out there – after much pleading, we are forming our first adult ensemble which will focus on classic rock staples from the 60′s and 70′s.

This ensemble is a truly elite group and will be performing live at the end of rehearsals in multiple venues around southern Maine. Keep your eyes and ears open and we’ll let you know when their feet hit the ground.

The goal of our school is to provide students with a comprehensive musical education at a fair price.  While private music lessons are invaluable to students, they are only one part of the equation.  They are meant to develop the musical knowledge and ability required to perform with other musicians; unfortunately not many students are fortunate enough to have the experience of playing in an ensemble.  The Midcoast School of Music seeks to  provide our students with this unique opportunity by offering a number of different options, depending on interest and need.

Each 90-minute ensemble program will run for a total of 8 weeks.  In an attempt to make our groups as affordable as possible, the cost for each ensemble will be $120.00; which breaks down to $15.00 per session.  Full payment is requested at the first class.

To insure we’re able to offer the highest level of instruction, we request that students sign up for any ensembles at least two weeks prior to the first scheduled meeting. This will allow the instructor sufficient time to plan for the group’s instrumentation.
