Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We always offer the first lesson free to come and see our facility or if online to meet a coach and try it out. This way you can get a feel for us and we can get a feel for you to determine the best path to take. If you have a young child who you would like to have begin learning an instrument, contact us and we can help determine if they are ready and if you should make an appointment for their free first lesson. We will help you determine if music lessons are right for them at this time, and we can also help determine a direction they may choose to go if they are going to pursue music at MDM. We have a Little Rockers Program specifically for kids 3 to 5 years old, our Private Coaching is open to kids of all ages but most are 5 and up, and our Rock School 101 band program and Musical Theater Group are available to audition for ages 8-18 as well.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of the coaches here at Modern Day Music are accomplished performing musicians. They live for music and have dedicated their lives to it. We are very proud of our talented team. Our coaches teach because they love it and you can really tell when you experience a session with one of them. If you really want to play an instrument and enjoy it, it gets no better than the Modern Day Music Coaches.
To be an MDM coach, you need to be able to do a lot more than just play an instrument well. Our coaches don’t just pick some old school book and go through it one page at a time mindlessly. That is not what aspiring musicians want. They want someone to pay close attention to their needs and goals, and to formulate each and every session with those needs and goals specifically in mind. Ultimately, it is the goal of every instructor to keep all of their students evolving and having fun doing it.

What types of students have you worked with?
Students at MDM encompass a broad range of styles from Theater to Pop and Jazz to Heavy Metal. Our team consists of trained and experienced music coaches, capable of teaching all ages, levels and styles. We recently built a brand new facility to ensure we are always providing our students and parents with the best possible musical experience.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
One of the most important qualities that we look for is personality. A quality coach needs to be able to: motivate their students to do their best, inspire their students to continue to grow, and befriend their students to make learning music fun. Our coaches are role models and mentors. They are great people who our students look forward to seeing each week. In short, our coaches are awesome. This really makes learning to play an instrument fun and rewarding.
The Facility - In order to evolve as a musician as efficiently as possible it really helps to have a learning environment that is clean, comfortable and inviting. MDM is where comfort meets education. We encourage you to stop in and see for yourself what makes MDM so different from the alternatives. We are confident you will enjoy your experience.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Well, ask yourself... Why do you want to play an instrument? What are your real goals?
We know that people choose to play instruments to have fun and make great music with their instrument. Music that they themselves think is great. They want to play, perform and feel music. They want it all to be fun, rewarding, and exciting. We want that for them too and MDM is the perfect place to ensure that it happens. That is what Modern Day Music is all about. Having as much fun as possible getting the most out of music, while learning to be proficient at your instrument at the same time. We want our students to continue to play music as a pastime! For most it isn't about doing music for a career, it is about enjoyment and fun.
