Many thanks from all of us here at Main Street Music Studios to ALL the people who donated and continue to donate instruments and accessories. Also, thanks to the school music teachers state wide, we are now finding many homes for these instruments and will continue updating our web page with photos and testimonials showing the impact of our combined efforts with the community!  Due to it’s success and impact it’s had on kids and music, we are planning to continue this program year round! Please help spread the word to anyone you know that may have unused musical instruments.

Dear Main Street Music Studios,

Our Mount View Instrumental Music Program thanks you, Main Street Music Studios for reaching out to the community and providing several nice instruments for use in our schools. Through your generosity, we will be able to place several used but good quality band instruments into the hands of students with financial challenges. A majority of student families in our district have financial challenges that too often prevent them from obtaining even used instruments. We try to place good quality used instruments into our program’s inventory to lend to such needy families at no cost.

After hearing about the program, I contacted Main Street Music Studios and found them accommodating and eager to share a number of these donations with us. This program has cost our district nothing but a drive to Main Street Music Studio in Bangor. I specifically know Mr Brian Nadeau (trumpet instructor there) and would recommend his professional services to my students and others as well.  Main Street Music Studios has enabled several more future young musicians with their community donation program. I would like to thank the studio, Mr. Andrew Clifford & the entire staff at MSMS for the assistance and generous community spirit.

“Please share these photos with your teaching staff at Main Street Music Studios. I hope they understand that their donation of the bass will have a positive influence on this young lady. I am sure she will remember this morning for the rest of her life!”

“During the month of January the Bangor Daily News featured a program run by Main Street Music Studios that collected new or gently used instruments. Music teachers in the Bangor area were asked to find a musician(s), in their schools, who have demonstrated a commitment to the performing arts and who would be the right match for one of the instruments. January 6, 2010, Sam Kenney was the first recepient of one of these instruments. He has shown outstanding effort while playing clarinet over the past two years and recently showed interest in playing the trumpet in jazz band for the 2010- 2011 school year. Congratulations Sam and a big thank you to Main Street Music Studio!”

“Dear Main Street Music Studios. On behalf of the Redeeming Love Church of God in Prospect Maine, I want to thank you and the Main Street Studios for your generous donation. The guitar is a valuable and much needed addition to our youth music ministry. We have been working with young people in the area of praise and worship music. As a newly planted church there are always many items needed to get things going. The young folks are very excited with the new guitar and we very much appreciate it. We continue to lift you and your new endeavor in prayer and wish you much success.”

Sincerely,

Stephen Norris

Worship Leader, Redeeming Love Church of God
