Unlike franchised music programs, The Modern Rock Academy is focused on the individual students instead of expansion and profit. Our students don’t simply sit in lessons, they participate in a true rock band. Each song is carefully selected by the music director to challenge students to stretch and grow. Guided by professional musicians who know how to inspire and challenge, students push their skills, rise to new levels, and experience the thrill of live public performances.

Every performance, every song, every rehearsal is part of our mission: to grow musicians, leaders, and community.
