With its more than 80 international branches, Modern Music School is one of the largest music schools in the world. It was founded in Germany in 1987 by Hans-Peter Becker, professional drummer and business economist. Ever since, our school has grown further and further, mainly thanks to its successful teaching and learning concept for rock and pop music. In 2011 Modern Music School arrived to the United States of America. Our first school on American soil can be found in Pasadena, California. At Modern Music School, all teachers are professional musicians with special training from MMS central. The entire concept is based on motivation, practical relevance and brain-friendly teaching – a fact reflected by the golden thread found at the core of our own set of text books. We help our students become people of confidence who express themselves through music and use it to realize their own potential. Modern Music School is the perfect choice for beginners, intermediates, and professionals of all ages. After all, we offer a suitable program for each and every student – starting at the Personal Program for individual and particular interests, and reaching all the way to the Band Program, which is aimed at making progress by having fun as a group. But Modern Music School is so much more than just classes. We get our students to perform live and on stage, we present their bands on our website, and we present awards for success. Ultimately, we open up the door to the MMS Community – a network of music fans where everyone is welcome. From the occasional guitar player to the professional vocalist.
