The Modern Music Academy is amazing! All of the staff/teachers are so welcoming. I have been taking lessons with Justine for voice and can already see the improvement. My voice has come a long way from where I started, and I’m already beginning to write my own music. If you are an aspiring musician then The Modern Music Academy is the place to go.
