Saltmarsh Music proudly utilizes Hal Leonard & Music Will’s Modern Band Method books in our curriculum.
Saltmarsh Music takes a Modern Band approach to guitar that gets students jamming right from the start by teaching them to play, perform, improvise, and even compose using familiar songs. With a focus on popular genres like rock, pop, Latin, rap, R&B, country, and more, it's all about diving in and having fun. Students feel inspired by the modern band approach because it’s more engaging and enjoyable. After all, we have two goals at Saltmarsh Music: enjoy music & inspire kids.
