The Avenue A Music Project provides teens from Montague and surrounding areas a chance to discover and develop their musical abilities. In its early stages, there were a few broken and toy instruments to use and a computer in little more than a closet to use for recording.
   With the move from Avenue A to Third Street, the Music Project has grown. There is now a 12’ x 12’ recording studio, as well as electric guitars and amplifiers, acoustic guitars, a piano, keyboards, a mandolin, a drum set, and a variety of percussion instruments. Of course participants are welcome and encouraged to bring their own instruments. The Music Project meets twice per week on Tuesday and Wednesday from 3:00-6:00. During this time teens are encouraged to work on songwriting and recording. Youth Programs Coordinator (and music teacher) Jared Libby is available to provide instruction. Bands have recorded full CD’s with the Teen Center’s facilities.
