nite this tiny simple instrument. I enjoy that ele- ment of surprise. Shimabukuro believes this will change. The instrument has so much potential, he says. In the future, there are going to be all of these players that specialize in different genres of music. So when you hear someone ask about a ukulele player, its going to be, Oh, that jazz, that blues, that country or rock uku- lele player. All of these things people will start attaching to the ukulele, and Im very excited about that. Students from Maine school of rock take stage Serving continuous skewers of beef, lamb, poultry, pork, and more Academy of Modern Music bands perform at Old Home Week By Craig Robert Brown cbrownhippopress.com This week marks the return of a classic sta- ple in New England towns, the Old Home Week. Kennebunk, Maine, will honor the tra- dition with events until July 9. For a few teenage musicians, Old Home Week will offer a chance to showcase their talents. The teenagers are students at the Portland- based Maine Academy of Modern Music. The nonprofit organization founded by Jeff Shaw, also the programs executive director, gives teens with musical talents and ambi- tions a place to hone their craft. Last August, MAMM partnered with Kennebunks River Tree Arts to extend the program to students in the area. The groups intention is to offer classes at local churches and schools through- out the state. Maine has such a strong and vibrant music scene, Shaw said. Shaw taught at the Spurwink Music Pro- gram in Portland. He said, however, that there is a disconnect between teaching teens music and teaching teens music they like. Shaw said he saw the possibility of putting together a place where teens could learn about and expe- rience rock music. We try to reach teens through the music they listen to on their iPods, Shaw said. MAMM runs programs in different music genres. Some classes are in hip-hop, rock and jazz. Teachers involved in the program often have dual positions, such as teaching guitar and voice or bass and percussion. They also work for the River Tree Arts in its collabora- tion with MAMM. Times have changed, of course, since rock music first made its cultural impact. Today, technology allows bands to get their music and their image out of their parents garage and into the world through social networking. Shaw is aware of the changes in the way we hear and discover about bands. MAMM offers courses on how young musicians can navigate the world of online marketing safely. Though the ways in which bands promote themselves Music & Nightlife Blue Ocean Music Hall 4 Oceanfront North, Salisbury Beach, Mass., 978-462-5888, www.blueoceanhall.com Cochecho Arts Festival Rotary Arts Pavillion, Henry Law Park, Dover, NH, 603-742-2218, www.dovernh.org Firehouse Center for the Arts Market Square, Newburyport, Mass., 978-46-7336, www.firehouse.org Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom 169 Ocean Blvd., Hampton, NH, 603-929-4100, www.casinoballroom.com have changed, the practical aspects of being in a band have not. We arent trying to reinvent the wheel, Shaw said. MAMM teaches teens how to use recording software such as Garage Band, a home record- ing program that runs on PCs or Macs. Teens are also taught how to use sound equipment for live shows, such as how to mike amplifiers properly or utilize a PA system soundboard. But, Shaw admits, sometimes when it comes to technology the teens are ahead of the adults. Most important to any band, especial- ly bands just starting out, is the need to play shows. Were trying not to just let teens sit in their garage, Shaw said. Playing gigs is a major part of being a musician. In order to give the young bands on-stage experience, Shaw organizes concert showcas- es. Most of the series are currently held in the Portland area. Venues include The State The- atre, Empire Dine and Dance and the Space Gallery. River Tree Arts hosts the events MAMM puts on in York County, from where both Shaw and River Tree Arts hopes to see MAMM expand. Jeff is capable, with good vision and a good business mind, said Clare Collins, sec- retary treasurer of the board for River Tree Arts. River Tree Arts, an organization that works extensively with the community, will also hold events Saturday with an interactive table for kids and a table in front of the bands. Its a great chance to see what is going on for kids and adults, Collins said. Shaw said people ask him, Where were you when I was a kid? The reason this has worked so well is the parents of this generation get it, Shaw said. They were in garage bands themselves. The MAMM student rock ensembles, Oxy- moron and Twisted Truth, are set to take stage on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. with music throughout the day from MAMM bands and teachers, including The Mousam River Ram- blers, T-Minus One, Lauren Hastings & Tim Garrett and the Chas Lester Trio.
