Secret Ingredient
We just love music. There’s no other way to say it. From teaching, to recording, to passing on knowledge and learning new things ourselves – every day at ModernTone is an opportunity to immerse yourself in music of all styles. Sharing the gift of music is nothing short of a labor of love, which comes through in each and every lesson we teach. We can’t wait to collaborate with you and show you how to be the kind of musician you want to be. Let’s play!
Master the art of live solo and duet performance
Hone your stage presence and command the spotlight in intimate performance settings. From crafting your setlist to delivering emotive expression, you’ll receive hands-on coaching, simulate audience dynamics, and build confidence for every live moment. Perfect for solo artists and small ensembles aiming to shine.
Collaborate, create, and perform in a band setting
Bring your ideas to life alongside other dedicated players. Practice tight arrangements, develop group dynamics, and navigate real-world gigs. You’ll rehearse full band sets, refine your groove, and get stage-ready feedback – culminating in memorable performances at local venues.
Harmonize and grow with a vocal ensemble
Perfect your blend and expand your vocal range in a supportive ensemble environment. Weekly rehearsals cover diverse repertoire, from pop hits to choral classics, while sectional workshops sharpen technique. Gain performance experience in recitals and community events, and lift your voice in harmony with fellow singers.
Combine song, dance, and drama in a staged production
Step into character and develop your theatrical skills in an immersive group setting. You’ll work on audition-ready pieces, choreography, and acting exercises – all woven into full-scale musical numbers. Perform in themed showcases and build the confidence to captivate any audience.
