Classes at MVM Studios are year-round artist mentorship programs that focus on personal development and musical skills, culminating in the recording and performing of songs written during the term. Students must be willing to collaborate with a diverse group of participants with varying degrees of musical experience – attitude is everything!

Rolling registration means that students are welcome to join most weekly programs in the middle of a season, regardless of the seasonal starting and ending dates. We ask students to register each season for administration purposes, but our hope is that students will join us as many weeks of the year as they are able; to build long-term relationships with planned breaks between seasons. Please email info@myvoicemusic.org to inquire about capacity before registering for a program mid-season.

MVM Studios artist mentorship programs are year-round classes that meet weekly. Students register each season: spring, summer, fall and winter.

Programs take place at MVM Studios at 8911 SE Stark St, Portland, OR 97216.

Youth ages 9-24, no musical experience required.

Classes are led by an experienced and diverse group of teaching artists who are active in the local music scene.

Program prices range from $40-$240 per season. With our Play It Forward scholarship program, MVM will not turn any youth away for financial reasons. Visit our Play It Forward page to obtain a scholarship discount code that best fits your circumstances, no questions asked.

If your child can play eight or more chords, strum in rhythm with others, or play multiple drum beats consistently, they are a good candidate for AMPLIFY: Middle School. If they are aspiring to do theses things but don’t quite yet have all the skills, they should sign up for Amplify Jr.

We cannot guarantee that your student will be able to play with their friends. At each program bands are made with considerations of skill-level, ability, and perspective so that each group can create collaborative music that they are proud of. If you are interested in creating your own band, see our “Band On Demand” option.

We ask students to register each season for administration purposes, but we hope they will join us all year. Because we are a nonprofit organization, it is critical for us to be able to track data and registration info for our students in order to secure funding to help make our programs accessible to all students, regardless of income.
