We've structured the exhibit
in three different themes which are In the Make section you're going to learn about people
who actually made the instruments that will be on display, as well as how people use music in the home
and in their communities. In the Hear section,
you'll learn about how new technology like record players,
radios, broadcasting really changed the way people receive their music. So things like rock and roll came in, country and bluegrass migrated up to Maine. And the last sect
ion is called Play, and that looks at how musicians
perform on stage and how the audience
and the performer create something really unique and special
during that performance. The real power of music is that people can use it in nonverbal ways
to convey emotion and connect with other people,
as well as using it to tell your history. Music in Maine is representative of the people
who live here, and it's vast. It's indescribable.
