Highly recommend Maine Media Workshops + College of Rockport, mid-coast Maine for quality of…read morefaculty, staff, students, on-site housing, location near Rockport Harbor, layout of campus, & even delicious food. You will work hard, learn lots, and love learning, too. Superb energy. Both my IRL classes were one-week intensive Summer Program non-fiction WRITING workshops, plus an excellent online workshop during worst of pandemic. Rating: Ten stars out of five! Note: I am a Writer & am reviewing only writing Workshops I attended, on campus & virtual.

Film directing intensives are mostly just chit chat. No real hands on experience unless you fight…read morehard to wrangle a camera and get someone to help you edit your scene. They don't leave enough time in the day for all filmmakers to work. Staff is almost impossible to reach. Also not interested in being reached. Place doesn't even have a printer for students to use. Instructors are great, but their hands are tied. Most equipment is reserved for cinematography students. Trust me. This place ain't what it used to be. Not even close. Can blame some things on the pandemic, but not everything. Also, campus food is VERY expensive (tastes terrible) and not available after hours 6pm. They have Lobster dinners once a week that you have to pay top dollar for. If you want to learn how to make films, I suggest not trekking all the way here to do it. Save the cash.

How did I not post this? It's just sitting in my draft folder. Ugh…read more We visited Mr Drew and His Animals Too in their last day in Lewiston. Not only did the grandchildren absolutely love it but so did I. The animals are great! The staff, phenomenal and while I'm sure it's difficult to stay excited day after day, they made us feel like we were special guests. We arrived around 11 and the kids asked if we could stay until closing. Even today, the oldest (he's 12) said, "I wish I lived in Maine and could have my birthday party there!" We will absolutely be making the drive to Poland once the new location is fully set up. Best of luck - although I don't think that's going to be necessary. The community involvement, education and giving back will be enough "luck" to make you as successful in the new location as you have been in the old. Thank you so much for having offering such an amazing experience.

Campus/locations in both Portland and Bath, this is the real deal for voice, piano, guitar,…read moreensembles and most anything related to professional teaching of music. The school and its staff is profession. Small but with many rooms for private instruction. They cater equally to both adult and youth and I've seen people from their late 50s to kids seemingly as young as 10 taking a variety of lessons here. I wanted to obtain good, reputable piano lessons for my partner as a birthday gift. He's academic minded and I knew I needed to find some place professional. Midcoast's Portland campus is located in an otherwise inconspicuous building above a private, classic car collector's showroom. There are signs on the side of the building and dedicated parking and classes are given throughout most days and evenings. One of the principal partner owners, Matt Fogg, could not have been more helpful and accommodating when I set up the first few lessons which my partner plans on extended into weekly lessons. Lesson scheduling is easy and flexible and the rates, while varying, are incredibly affordable. After looking around the area for music lessons, this place was a score. I'd give them 10 stars if I could.

This is the third ONLC class I have taken. The previous two were in Nashua, NH and Bedford, NH…read more This location is by far the best, and not because I am partial to Portland. The other two offices were dark rooms where I felt closed in and one was so noisy that I had to leave and take the 2nd class elsewhere. These remote learning classes are in offices that generally are many businesses who have one front desk person. There could be a lawyer and chiropractor in the offices next to you. You will learn by calling in to a phone bridge as well as following along on an instructor screen. You also have a booklet and your own screen so you get all 3 learning types covered. The bonus of this spot... Being in the heart of Portland. There are many options of places to eat and get coffee that accommodate food allergies. Plus, on your lunch break you can walk down to the water and back! There is a place to get a foot soak and massage, an amazing local bookstore and so much more right here!! There is a cash only parking garage attached to the Time and Temp building that is ooooold and totally sketchy looking but it's safe. The whole city is safe really when I think about it.
