About

Embracing the power of music: It can make us laugh, cry, dance and sing. It can help us believe in ourselves again and connects us to one another across differences, distance, and space.

Welcome to 317 Main

317 Main Community Music Center brings the power of music to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds from across southern and mid-coast Maine. We were founded in 2004 on the idea that music can engage, vitalize, and strengthen human connections in our communities.

Today, we provide music education and connection through music lessons, group classes, jam sessions, ensembles, workshops, summer camps, performances and whatever else we can dream up - both at our studios in Yarmouth and with our community Partnership Programs throughout Maine.

No matter where your musical interests lie, we offer a supportive and welcoming environment dedicated to musical discovery and personal growth.

OUR MISSION

317 Main encourages creative expression, personal growth, and community connection through music.

We believe in the power of music

Playing music improves our ability to learn, communicate and listen at every stage of life. It relieves stress and fosters joy. We believe that creative expression is an inherent right for all, and we strive to provide music-making opportunities that encourage people to find their voices and tell their stories. By creating an inclusive, multi-generational learning environment we are reducing barriers to music education and enrichment opportunities.
