The Modern School of Music Method is based on a solid music theory foundation but gives students a vision into their musical future. Once the key concepts of music are unlocked, students quickly make the leap into direct application to songs they know and love.

Our Modern School of Music Method books make what our instructors teach in lessons immediately applicable to familiar songs so students can play recognizable favorites right away. The reason students come to learn an instrument is for the love of music, so the main Mod School Difference is playing what the student knows.

When students achieve the accomplishment of playing recognizable favorites based on Mod School fundamentals taught using the intuitive Mod School method, it helps them retain what they’ve learned. Our method keeps students interested precisely because they can quickly see how those foundations support all of their favorite music, and they begin to plan which song they want to unlock and learn next. Mastering song after song gives students confidence and rewards their efforts with the joy and anticipation that made them want to play in the first place.

Mod School students enrolled in the Rock Band Class program get a chance to apply what they’ve learned in their private lessons and to reveal their inner rock star by playing with other student musicians of their same skill level. Learning an instrument alone is fun, but playing with other musicians? Well, as any professional musician will tell you, that’s where the magic really happens.

Parents love the visible, audible progress that our system provides. See some parent testimonials here. They don’t need to remind their students to practice, because the Mod School method isn’t work, it’s play! And you won’t need to pay for years of lessons to hear Johnny finally play something other than scales.

Dave Wilbur's Rock Lab (formerly Modern School of Music) is amazing! Our son and daughter have learned so much from Dave and it shows when they perform in the rock concerts that he organizes. You can tell how much someone enjoys what they do by the amount of hard work they put into it and Dave puts his heart and soul into his students. Our kids never complain about going to rock lessons to jam with friends, practicing is sometimes another story but when we threaten to take them out for not practicing they shape up. Our kids have made good friends with other students and we're looking forward to having a lot more gigs in the future. Dave keeps things fresh by changing the types of music he has his students perform and he reminds us of Jack Black in the movie School of Rock - fun loving, easy to get along with, and plays an amazing guitar himself. He encourages his students to learn and grow and to try new things. The kids love him and so do the parents. He has organized a great staff, including his wife, who are very helpful and just awesome to work with. We highly recommend Dave Wilbur's Rock Lab to anyone of all ages who has ever dreamed of being a rock star.
