Musical Chairs Studio, Inc. - Chicago, Illinois

Our family has benefitted greatly from the quality musical instruction offered by Musical Chairs Studio! Piano instructor Alex has been such a gift for my elementary-aged children, who have had the introduction to piano that I always hoped they would. I highly recommend Musical Chairs to families in and near the Lincoln Square neighborhood.

I highly recommend musical chairs studio. We love their program! Our daughter has been going to musical chairs for several years. They have worked hard to find teachers that suit her style as well as to accommodate our ever changing schedule now that she is in high school. She has a strong say in the musical pieces she plays and so she is invested in practicing. To listen to her play and see the progress she has made since being at musical chairs is amazing. They also have a really great “play it forward program” in which some of the older kids help teach younger kids to play and our daughter has really enjoyed that.

My kids have had fantastic experiences taking private lessons at Musical Chairs for a number of years. Their instructors have all been knowledgeable, kind, supportive, and patient. They also had a wonderful time at the musical theater summer camp and put on an amazing show!

Trevor is great with our youngest. He is super patient and goes at her tempo. He lets her explore on her own as well as rudiments.

Also big props to Trevor who is now teaching our oldest child violin. The amount that she's advancing every week is tremendous.

We have been going to Musical Chairs for 6 years and it's such a wonderful place for music lessons and music appreciation. My daughters both have taken piano and my youngest daughter also takes guitar. Colin is an amazing guitar teacher! All the staff and instructors are so talented!! Since the Covid pandamic we have been doing virtual lessons which has also worked out wonderfully! So much to still offer even in uncertain times! Overall such a great business and am so happy my kids have had the opportunity to learn to play music and take drama classes through Musical Chairs!!!!

Musical Chairs Studio and Ethan are so fantastic! Ethan is such a great teacher. I’m an adult piano student, and he is so good at explaining things to me and matching my progress. I would definitely recommend him and Musical Chairs Studios.

Can't say enough good things about Musical Chairs. My 3 kids - now all teens - took lessons here and my youngest still does. They all have a love of music and just sit down and play for fun now. And when their interest may have wained through the years, Lisa and staff took the time to change gears - be it with giving different music assignments or even changing instructors - to keep them motivated and interested. My daughter is currently working with her instructor to prepare for her Arts HS auditions. (and switching to virtual lessons has been seamless!) As non-musically gifted parents, we love that our home is filled with music and joy. Thank you Lisa and Musical Chairs!!

We love Musical Chairs! All three of my kids take piano lessons through Musical Chairs and they seamlessly adapted from in-person lesson to virtual lessons during COVID. They also have gotten creative with Zoom recitals with just a handful of kids, which then allow grandparents near and far to enjoy. I especially love the emails that follow the classes giving a recap of the lessons that Lisa puts together. They do a great job keeping the kids challenged and interested.
