Monk Rowe - Bill Dobbins Interview, from Fillius Jazz Archive at Hamilton College

Bill Dobbins talks about his career as a jazz performer and educator, some ideas about jazz musicians and their lack of being adequately prepared, citing society's lowered musical values.
Bill also shares experiences at Kent State during the trouble times and also shares some beautiful harmonic chord explorations.

Why should you become a part of our community musical arts programs?

In today's gig economy, there are not many ways to make money as a musician. Mazel Musical Arts believes that right now is the right time to work together in order to thrive.
With that thought in mind, we have decided to build a state of the art streaming broadcast studio, right here in Weymouth. We will soon be featuring local originated streaming radio broadcasts, featuring local artists, with local stories as well as musically knowledgeable radio hosts.
You can be a part of this and share in the subscriber profits. We build this together. Please call or email us for more information (see contact info at top of each page).

Our music studio filled up with musicians from the Fanfare Regional Band of Clare. They are rehearsing for the annual Concert de Noël/Christmas Concert on Sunday, Nov 24, 2019 at 3 pm.

We would like to publicly thank Mike Tavares for the recent restoration of our façade after the terrible Weymouth Fire of 2018. He did an amazing job, don't you agree?

A call to help restore an historic building

Preserving a Nova Scotia landmark



Winter Scene at 4614 HWY 1

Designed by JC Dumaresq

Renowned Canadian architect JC Dumaresq designed the building and it is one of his last commissions. Dumaresq was the principal designer of Dingle Tower in Halifax among numerous other architecturally significant Canadian buildings.

Service, Mr. Dumaresq believed, was architecture's guiding principle – that and the customer is always right. "Tell us what you want and we'll conceive it," he told Halifax Magazine. "Of course it takes more than one try [to get it right] … it's all about accomplished dreams."

Historic Property
needs preservation

Mazel Musical Arts Society music school and studio music space is housed in the historic Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Building of Weymouth, Nova Scotia. A beautiful, understated landmark constructed in 1906, the RBC Building was one of the first Royal Banks of Canada in Nova Scotia. Before opening Mazel Musical Arts Society, we restored and renovated the building working to preserve its architectural character.

An Acoustic Treasure
An Acoustic Treasure
acoustically magnificent

Our building is not just a wonderful space to look at. It is an acoustically magnificent building too. It's unobstructed tall ceilings and stone and brick interior help to create a fantastic sound when musicians play here.

Mazel Musical Arts Society regrets to announce that our music school and studio will be closed for fall classes due to fire damage from the Weymouth fire, directly across the street that took down two buildings in August 2018. We promise to keep you posted for some amazing inspiring musician sessions, including singing, improv and coop radio streaming. We are planning on adding complete interactive whiteboard with sound systems and broadcasting equipment to this fine acoustical space. Though the façade is currently partially repaired, we still have to fix the roof, which was heavily damaged by the fire. The insurance company unfortunately did not respond positively to our claim to repair the roof. We are hoping to fix the roof this season, but will need community support. Thanks for your patience while we rebuild.
