The School of Music offers a personalized and opportunity-based approach to educating musicians, featuring a faculty of distinguished performers, teachers, scholars, and mentors.

Excellence is the hallmark of the School of Music. Located near the coastal and mountain regions of Maine in the heart of Maine’s population center, the School of Music is a dynamic hub of artistic and educational activity. Students benefit from having the vibrant greater Portland arts scene at our doorstep, and we’ve achieved nearly 100% placement of our music education graduates.
