Our five year old daughter started outdoor lessons here with teacher Sophie during the pandemic, on the patio with makeshift walls. She had never had a piano lesson before and we didn't even have a piano at the time. Despite the circumstances, she thrived with the in-person instruction and it was the highlight of her week in contrast to Zoom schooling. Now we have moved inside where there are two pianos with a plexiglass wall and videocamera on the teacher's piano. The school clearly put a lot of thoughtful care into adapting and implementing safety precautions and it shows in everything they do. They are very responsive to questions and super friendly. Our daughter has made a lot of progress in reading music and has fun doing it, but at home and at the school!Posted on Google![]()

My Grandson has been attending MMS for over a year and I am extremely happy with the customer service that the school has provided. They are very friendly and have a great attitude and know how to work with kids. I am very grateful that they are nearly next door to my business and my Grandson gets to learn an instrument that he loves.Posted on Google![]()

My daughter has been taking piano and vocal lessons for a few months now. She started out taking virtual lessons and is now going in person in an outdoor setting. As many families during this time have differing views and circumstances on how to proceed sending their children in person or staying home, the school has done a great job offering different options. They are flexible with scheduling classes inside their building, outdoor, and via zoom. Everything is wiped down after each lesson. Spencer, the manager is quick to respond via email and pays attention to details to make us feel comfortable during lessons. For example, he always prepares a big chair and a little chair for myself and my son to sit on outside during my daughter's lesson. Sophie, my daughter's piano and vocal teacher, sends me a recording of what she should practice vocally after each lesson and sends what pages she should practice for piano. There are other options that are much closer for my daughter to take piano and vocal lessons but we will continue to drive a bit further because my daughter loves learning music here with Sophie, we feel comfortable and safe and the school, we feel welcomed, and I'm overall really happy with the pace and what my daughter has been learning musically.Posted on Google![]()

My 2 kids age 6 have been taking guitar and piano for almost a year now. We started mid start of pandemic and found this to be the best covid safe school along with great options to try out different instruments! I also really love that they have a band option the kids can join later on. Spencer is a great manager as well very responsive and attentive. If we need to reschedule or cancel a class he is right on it! They recently launched a web portal that makes this all easy to do too. Classes can be taken outdoors, with hepa filters and plexi glass! Also the best part is how fun and modern the methods are. My boys weren’t learning how to play the piano despite years of classes due to interest I think but they are able to pick out their own fun songs to learn and for the first time ever my son is practicing piano willingly on his own! I definitely recommend this place for all ages and all instruments! Very professional and well run. Kudos to spencer and the team!Posted on Google![]()

I cannot sing enough praises for Modern Music School! My sons have been taking drum lessons here for several years and are absolutely thriving. The environment is incredibly warm and welcoming from the welcoming arrangement of the lobby/waiting area, to the warm smiles from every instructor who passes through. My boys are greeted at the start of each lesson with enthusiasm and high fives. The lessons are engaging and dynamic and support exactly where my boys are both in individual skill levels but also where they happen not be on that particular day. Lessons are always FUN and adapted to their needs- one day may include more drum games, where another will focus on mastering a particular song that my kiddo wants to learn. Owner and instructor (and all around super-human) Ulf Geist brings so much passion to all he does and with this, instills in MMS students, a genuine love of playing music. I couldn’t be more grateful for this!Posted on Google![]()

Originally, we began taking classes at Modern Music School because they are a vendor with our home school charter, iLead. Several months have passed now, and we are so incredibly pleased with our experience - plus we have an awesome little drummer in the house! Our son takes lessons with Jonas - and we love him. He's professional, fun, encouraging, and an all-around excellent teacher. As a matter of fact, we liked classes so much, we increased our lessons to 2x weekly! Truly, MMS strikes that lovely, sought-after balance all parents want for their children - an environment that is inspiring, yet challenging, with a staff who is compassionate, communicative and simply lovely to be around. If you're looking for lessons, do try MMS. It's awesome.Posted on Google![]()

The customer experience is also top notch. Not only is everyone there extremely friendly, but they also just opened up an online portal that makes rescheduling appointments super easy. I couldn't recommend MMS highly enough!Posted on Google![]()
