Modern School of Music

The Modern School of Music Method is based on a solid music theory foundation but gives students a vision into their musical future. Once the key concepts of music are unlocked, students quickly make the leap into direct application to songs they know and love. Our Modern School of Music Method books make what our instructors teach in lessons immediately applicable to familiar songs so students can play recognizable favorites right away. The reason students come to learn an instrument is for the love of music, so the main Mod School Difference is playing what the student knows. When students achieve the accomplishment of playing recognizable favorites based on Mod School fundamentals taught using the intuitive Mod School method, it helps them retain what they’ve learned. Our method keeps students interested precisely because they can quickly see how those foundations support all of their favorite music, and they begin to plan which song they want to unlock and learn next. Mastering song after song gives students confidence and rewards their efforts with the joy and anticipation that made them want to play in the first place. Mod School students enrolled in the Rock Band Class program get a chance to apply what they’ve learned in their private lessons and to reveal their inner rock star by playing with other student musicians of their same skill level. Learning an instrument alone is fun, but playing with other musicians? Well, as any professional musician will tell you, that’s where the magic really happens. Parents love the visible, audible progress that our system provides. See some parent testimonials here. They don’t need to remind their students to practice, because the Mod School method isn’t work, it’s play! And you won’t need to pay for years of lessons to hear Johnny finally play something other than scales.
