Play the Music You Love. Become More Fully Yourself Through Music

In-Person in San Francisco AND Online

Aug. 17th, 2026 - Aug. 9th, 2027

with Holiday Closures

At MMS, we build strong musical foundations through note reading, music theory, technique, ear training, improvisation, songwriting, creativity, and performance. But just as importantly, we believe students should spend their lessons playing music they genuinely love.

When students feel ownership over what they're learning, they practice more, grow faster, and develop a lifelong relationship with music.

Our goal isn't simply to create accomplished musicians. Our goal is to develop confident, creative, and independent musicians—students who can eventually sit down with an instrument on their own, learn new songs, express themselves creatively, collaborate with others, and continue making music long after their lessons have ended.

Through excellent teaching, meaningful relationships, and inspiring repertoire, we help students become more fully themselves through music.

PLAY, GROW, BELONG

PLAY: Play the Music You Love.

We believe students learn best when they are inspired by what they're playing. By connecting lessons to the music that excites them, we ignite curiosity, motivation, and a lifelong love of making music.

GROW: Become your Own Musician.

We develop strong, well-rounded musicians through excellent teaching, solid fundamentals, creativity, performance, and independence. Our goal is to give students the skills and confidence to make music without a teacher beside them—to learn a song they love, create something of their own, or sit in a room full of friends and confidently join in. We’re not just teaching students how to take music lessons. We’re teaching them how to be musicians for life.

BELONG: Music Thrives in Community.

Every student deserves a place where they feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated. We create a joyful community where students make music together, cheer each other on, perform, collaborate, build friendships, and feel like they’re part of something bigger than their weekly lesson.
