EvergreenCertified program blends trust, mentorship, and in-home convenience for local families.
Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, 17th Sep 2025 — At a time when parents are weighing not only enrichment opportunities but also peace of mind, Evergreen Studios is moving to the forefront of music education with the launch of its EvergreenCertified program — a first-of-its-kind safety standard for in-home instruction in the Cape Fear region.

Founded in 2024 by Wilmington native and fifth-generation musician Jordan Spillers, Evergreen Studios was built around a simple idea: music lessons should feel as safe and personal as a trusted neighbor’s visit. The studio’s new certification process formalizes that commitment, requiring all instructors to undergo comprehensive screening and ongoing reviews before stepping into a family’s home.
“All of our instructors complete the highest level of background checks — including national, county, and federal records, sex-offender registry searches, abuse-prevention training, and reference verification,” said Spillers, who has young children of his own. “As a parent, I wouldn’t want to send someone into another family’s home unless I’d welcome them into mine. EvergreenCertified makes good on that desire.”
The studio currently has seven EvergreenCertified instructors, all of whom combine professional musical training with a focus on mentorship. Lessons are offered primarily in-home, with online sessions available for families outside the area or when travel is not possible. Students range from young beginners to retirees rediscovering long-set-aside instruments.
“We meet students where they are,” Spillers said. “Whether it’s a five-year-old learning their first notes or an adult picking up the guitar, the goal is to make music approachable and personal.”
Since opening its doors, Evergreen Studios has worked with dozens of families across Wilmington, Hampstead, and surrounding communities. Parents often cite the EvergreenCertified standard as a deciding factor in choosing the studio. The program has gained traction at a time when national surveys show heightened concern among parents about who interacts with their children in after-school and at-home settings.
More than just a music studio, Evergreen aims to foster a culture where music becomes an integral part of daily family life. “We’re not just teaching scales and chords,” Spillers added. “We’re transferring musical ownership to the next generation and building a community that will last for generations.”
