I'm an older student (late 50's), and I'm taking guitar lessons for the first time since I was a teenager. I looked at several locations/instructors before making my decision to come to the Modern Music Studio and take lessons from Jeremy. I wanted to work with someone who understood what I wanted to accomplish--becoming a better guitar player, exploring new types of music, learning how to play with other musicians at some point, and having fun! Jeremy's enthusiasm for teaching has made it fun and I'm starting to feel like I'm on track to accomplish the things I want to accomplish. I've only been taking lessons for a little over a month now, but Jeremy is great--very knowledgeable, easy to work with, etc. This studio has a lot of things to offer aside from the typical lessons--learning to put together music videos, song writing, group play, events outside the studio, etc. That's what sold me! I enjoy going every week and I'm pushing myself to get better with every lesson. Come and try it out--I think you'll be pleased with your choice! read more

Modern Music Studio rocks! Over the years we've worked with a number of in-home teachers and attended other music schools for our son's guitar lessons, and MMS has been the best experience. By. Far. The teachers are highly talented, passionate about music and love what they do. As other have mentioned, the owner Jeremy is an incredible instrumentalist, business owner and person, with a contagious enthusiasm and energy - and he truly cares about his customers and their experience. Beyond the lessons, great staff and friendly atmosphere at MMS, are the great perks. For what is on its own a very reasonable tuition fee, there are tons of add-ons. Here are just a few: master classes (for all instruments), open jam sessions, a kids band, family jam sessions, open mic nights, teacher events (such as songwriting and dealing with performance nerves), live performance opportunities at local venues and time in the recording studio. And it's all included in the monthly tuition! read more

Modern Music Studio is fantastic! My son has been taking guitar lessons for a little over a year now with Vince, and he is a super instructor. He has an incredible passion for and knowledge of music, from theory to song structure and technique, and my son has grown tremendously from it. Everyone at this studio is extremely passionate about music. They have a great space with tons of musical instruments and top-notch equipment. Plus there are so many extras that I haven't seen anywhere else, such as the free master classes, studio recording time, and the weekly jam sessions my son attends. These features plus the live performances my son has participated in have really boosted his confidence as a guitarist. If you're interested in guitar, bass, drums, piano, vocals, etc. check out MMS, you won't be disappointed! read more

Taking lessons at Modern Music Studio has brought a new dynamic to my music, but the exposure to different styles, approaches to teaching, and performance bring so much more to the experience. I've been taking guitar lessons with Damon for over a year now and he's incredible. I've learned more in this short time than 30 years playing on my own. The opportunity to play with Jeremy (the owner), Vince (one of the many incredible instructors) and other students has been priceless. And Becca does an amazing job keeping it all on track. My daughter takes voice lessons with Julie Anne and the skill and confidence she's acquired has her joining me on stage regularly now for open mic nights. They get my full recommendation on a regular basis. Check them out! You'll be glad you did. read more

We love Modern Music Studio ! We began going there about a year-and-a-half ago and both of my sons take piano lessons there. Jeremy and the teachers have been very flexible with our very busy schedule. The boys have thrived with non-traditional piano lessons, i e letting them play some rock and other fun stuff mixed in with traditional things like music theory and scales. The whole studio is simply beautiful and each room is impeccably decorated. They have a fun whiteboard out front and a different theme every week and all are expected to contribute. :-) They have other fun events like jam sessions, open mic nights, recitals, etc. It's the best of both traditional and modern music learning! read more

Modern Music Studio is what every aspiring musician or parent who wants their kids to be inspired and excited to go take music lessons has ever dreamed of! Part of your music lessons package is recording studio time! How cool is that!? You can really tell that everyone from the owner all the way to the teachers absolutely love what they do! This translates to everyone who attends Modern Music Studio for any lessons taken. I have been to many music schools and this one definitely stands above the rest!! On top of all that, the pricing is incredible and the facility is very nice, family friendly and in a great neighborhood. Thanks Modern Music Studio for existing! read more

My two boys have been enrolled at MMS for almost a year. I have a 7 year old taking guitar lessons and a 9 year old in piano. I cannot say enough great things about this studio. Jeremy, the owner, is absolutely wonderful with kids. He is passionate about teaching music and has great techniques for keeping kids engaged and learning. Both my boys show improvement every week and, more importantly, they are developing a love and appreciation for music. Jeremy also hosts various additional events, recording sessions, recitals and studio workshops for all levels of musicians. read more

Teachers are very friendly and really HONOR their teachings. Jeremy, the owner is a real piece of work. After 5 months of employment I decided to part ways to something better for my family and I. He then starts questioning my being; morality, value, integrity. When I've done nothing but help build his business up. For those of you whom are currently involved PLEASE, stay involved. You will really see how disloyal he can be if you cut ties. If you're interested in business with this man, KEEP LOOKING. No one deserves to be harassed by this pathetic excuse of a man. read more

As someone who has taught at many music schools across the country, I can confidently say you won't find another owner that cares more than Jeremy and it shows. The equipment and studio spaces are top-notch, the energy is amazing and there are so many interesting and fun classes to immerse yourself in. If you or your kids want to be a part of a sweet musical community rather than a run-of-the-mill after school program this is the place for you. (And no I do not receive anything for writing this!) read more

The apartment complex where I live hired Jeremy to DJ for our NYEve party, and he made it a party to remember! He had the whole place up and dancing, even though this is a 55+ apartment building. We couldn't have asked for a better evening, and Jeremy gets the credit for it. Everyone here is asking when we can have another party with him as our 'centerpiece.' Residents here picked some songs ahead of time, and Jeremy filled the playlist with songs he knew we'd like. What a fantastic evening! read more

i came into Modern Music a few months ago and after going to four different studios, i could not believe the rooms Modern Music had, i mean Grand Piano room, guitar room, singing lesson room, and my favorite the band room, not to mention a studio booth with a sound proof room. If you want to get treated right, grow as a musician of any sort, you need to come to Modern Music Studio, and you'll feel it right when you walk in. thats why i gave them (Jeremy, Owner) a 5 star rating. read more

My son, Nick, has been taking lessons from Jeremy Spillen for three years. I cannot say enough about this young man. Because of his work ethic, patience, and positive personality, he has been a great role model and influence on my son. Nick looks forward to his weekly lesson, and now that Jeremy has opened his Studio, Nick couldn't be happier. Nick can't wait to record his first song. I would highly recommend this Studio. read more

I had 2 children enrolled in drum lessons (12 year old boy) and piano lessons (9 year old girl). I was very happy with the studio itself, instructors and front desk personnel. My children were taking lessons at Modern Music Studio for less than a year due to relocation. They really learned a LOT during their time there. I would highly recommend Modern Music Studio for music lessons! read more

This studio is one of the best out there and Jeremy (owner) is awesome. He works non stop to make sure all the students are getting what they need. I've never seen a studio operate like this one. If are a musician are an aspiring musician, this is the place to be bar none. This includes any instrument from piano to singing. You just have to go to see what I'm talking about! read more

So far I have taken three guitar lessons with two different instructors. Both were highly knowledgeable and patient as my untalented fingers plodded thru a blues scale. I highly recommend this place no matter what your skill level. You also earn time in their recording studio the more lessons you take. I will be returning for more lessons soon. I highly recommend read more

My son has been taking piano lessons at Modern Music Studio for almost 2 years and we are so pleased with his progress! His teacher Vince is patient, thoughtful and enthusiastic. He's very open-minded about teaching my son songs he wishes to learn and play. Jeremy, the owner, is very engaged, involved and his passion for helping young people is palpable ! read more

Jeremy is a masterful teacher.  He has the ability to listen and understand where I am in my learning curve and adjust his lessons to my skill level..  When I wanted theory, he went there.  When I wanted to learn rhythm/scales he patiently showed me a few scales and within 20 minutes I was better at it. I can't recommend Modern Music Studio enough! read more

We've been taking lessons with Jeremy for a number of years and watched him build Modern Music Studio into an amazing performing arts school. The teachers and facilities are fantastic, and well suited to young children, old adults, and everyone in between. We're heading over there shortly to rock out! read more
