Yes its true! The Modern Music Studio band will be hitting the stage in Orillia this Saturday!
Go check them out!
Stand out performance Dylan and Emmy (brother and sister combo!)
We love when siblings jam together. Something special about that family bond (Bob and his own sister 🖤Mandy Cole🖤 🪶 - Singer-Songwriter share this musical bond themselves).
Dylan and Emmy have been with us for about a year and a half now and their musicianship is starting to show already. Emmy is locked in to that pocket and Dylan is following the rhythm brilliantly. It seems so natural, almost like they've been doing it their whole lives.
Can't wait to see where these two take us at the December concert.
Standout Performance: Zach!!
Zach always seems to impress. His focus and determination, combined with an ambitious level of difficulty (Tool! Black Sabbath!) always makes for a special performance. You can see the confidence from hours of dedicated practice and patient instruction.
Always love watching Zach nail those super complex fills. He is an especially talented kid.
Stand out performance: Aiden's jam band!!
Emma on drums
Riley on bass
Diego on rhythm guitar
Jack on lead guitar (Grade 8!)
Joined by instructors Aiden (backup guitar) and Kenny (vocals)
These kids absolutely slayed this song with 13 year old Jack going full Slash mode on the solo.
Amazing performance by these kids.
Stand out performance: The Pluim-Simon brothers!
Emmett and Isaac have been staples of the Modern Music community since we opened our doors in 2021. Now they rock the stage like true pros, with Isaac holding down that shuffle beat (not easy!) Emmett confidently moving those chords tight to the beat. This is such a fun song and they nailed it!
Stand out performance Max!
The bass for this song is super tough! Steely Dan is known for their musical complexity, jazz influence, and creative song structures. Max played it brilliantly!
Standout Performance! KEELAN!!!
This kid put an absolute HURTING on that drum kit. His take no prisoners style of drumming is reminiscent of Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Moon (The Who) and Cool (Green Day), some of the greatest rock drummers of all time!
Love this energy!
Stand out performance! NEVEAH!!!
She absolutely slayed this Led Zeppelin tune. A bit jazz, a bit rock, all guitar hero!
We will miss her a ton as she enters her next chapter. Neveah has been accepted to Centennial College's Music Production program! Congratulations Neveah!
Her love of music shines through in this performance.
Kudos to the amazing Instructor extraordinaire Nathaniel who always pushes these kids to new heights!
What a performance!
