Lessons are $90 per 1-hour, and $55 for 30-minute sessions.
We’re happy to reschedule lessons with at least 24 hours notice. No-shows and lessons canceled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged in full. You can learn more here: https://moderntonestudios.com/cancellation-policy/.
We offer both! Lessons can be booked a la carte, or as part of a monthly plan that allows you to reserve a specific slot in our instructors’ schedules for recurring weekly lessons.
We do! Our monthly plan is a package of 4 lessons that gets renewed at the end of each month. It allows you to reserve a weekly slot in our instructors’ schedules.
As part of our monthly plan offerings, we also have a 2-per-month plan that allows for an every-other-week lesson schedule on a recurring basis.
Lessons
All of our instructors have detailed profiles on our website: https://moderntonestudios.com/instructors/
You can also always book a free video consultation with any of them to learn more and get to know them.
All of our lessons are one on one with the instructor. We believe this is the most effective way to learn the concepts and skills you need to get to playing the music you love!
We offer group classes in the form of our exciting Vocal Ensemble, Stage Performance, and Band programs!
If you’re feeling the itch to make music with others, you can learn more and sign up here:
Also, for certain lessons, we understand the need for multiple participants to be in a lesson together (couples, parents/kids, and families, etc.), so feel free to reach out to us to learn more about the options we have.
We feel the tried and true method is weekly instruction. This allows you to have time to practice between each of your lessons, and a regular check up from your instructor to see how you’re doing.
We definitely encourage doing so. However, we have a lot of guitars and basses on-site that can be used in a pinch. We also have pianos and keyboards, as well as a multiple drum kits and snares for the less portable instrumental lessons.
From complete beginners to experienced professionals, everyone is welcome at ModernTone!
