Do I need prior knowledge in order to join the program?
As long as you have good sight-reading skills and basic knowledge of your instrument, you can join the Professional Program. Since we’re using national and international coaches, you should be proficient in English. To make sure you’re meeting all requirements, we’ll do a quick assessment with you. This assessment is free of charge and nonbinding, and will be the first exciting step towards your exciting career as a musician.

We can’t really answer this question because it depends on your previous knowledge and personal strengths. We’d say at least an hour a day on average. The secret to practicing lies in working on our weaknesses and not in just playing what we’re already good at. The MMS Professional Program will teach you how to design effective practice routines, and help plan what you can do to enjoy the process and have fun. With these principles, your progress will be inevitable.
First and foremost you need a decent instrument and standard accessories. For class, just bring pen and paper but having a computer with basic recording capabilities at home would be an advantage. We provide you with sheet music and practice sheets at no additional charge. In the course of the program you should also plan to purchase certain original songs and other music literature.
The Professional Program is divided into four phases. At the end of each phase are a practical exam and a theory exam. After the final phase, everyone who successfully finishes the program receives their Professional Program certificate and gets to perform in the closing concert.
Yes, you can join a group that’s already started provided there’s room left. In order to do so, we’ll test and determine your skill level. That way you’ll know too how you fit. However, considering the uniqueness of our teaching concepts, we recommend starting from the get go. If you join later on, we’ll prorate your tuition.
No, it’s not. However, the MMS Professional Program is highly regarded in the music scene and your certificate can open doors — most musical outlets in-the-know will recognize that you must be a well versed and experienced musician having completed our program.
You can focus on live-performances, studio jobs or work as a composer. With the tools our Professional Program provides you, the possibilities are endless. Becoming a teacher at MMS is another great option. There’s always a demand and we love to work with the people we educated ourselves..
When you enroll in the MMS Professional Program, you commit to the entire program. Of course it’s up to you if you decide to drop out. But your enrollment binds you to pay for the entire program, so you shouldn’t sign up light-heartedly, rather, really give the commitment some thought. There’s something we can promise you though: once you’re with us, we’ll do everything we can to make sure that you persevere.
