Owner and Director Mike McAdam opened his first school, North Main Music in 2003 providing electric and acoustic guitar and bass lessons.  In 2007, Mike expanded the school by adding voice, piano, and drum instructors, and the school moved to its first commercial location at 120 Main Street.

“It’s been exciting not only to see the school change as we have added more programs…but to see students go on to play professionally, or just pick up a great new hobby that they can enjoy for a lifetime.”
In 2010, North Main’s sister school, Bedford School of Music, opened in Bedford, NH with the intention of offering the same lesson experience provided by North Main Music. “We have had great success in Bedford with our after school program, so it made sense to expand with private lessons that were close by.”
North Main Music is a full-time, full-service, lessons studio providing private music instruction and group classes for guitar, bass, piano, banjo, drums, and voice.  All teachers are University Graduates from prestigious music programs (Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory) offering a higher level of quality teaching.

At North Main Music, we strive to encourage our students to explore their musical potential. The semi-annual recital gives students the opportunity to share and to celebrate their skills and their passion for music with their families and their community. We also feature a full-service recording studio that provides students with hands on learning experience, and our student touring group, “The North Main Music Guitar Army” performs throughout the New England area.  Many of our students go on to study at prestigious music schools such as Berklee College Of Music, U-Mass, UNH and Musicians Institute.
