I have known Gerald Rizzer for many years. He has a very easy going approach to teaching but on the other hand is extremely good at helping the student improve his or her performances and musical capabilities. He is especially interested in the structure of the pieces the student is working on and can improve interpretations by focusing on that structure. He is the leader of the well known Chicago Ensemble and his abilities as a professional performing musician are beyond reproach. I highly recommend him.

I have studied with Ivana Bukvich for well over a decade and couldn't be more pleased. She provides a well-rounded music education as well as frequent performance and collaborative opportunities. Her knowledge of repertoire, theory, history, and pedagogy is vast and she does an excellent job sharing her expertise in a clear and efficient manner. Her love for music and teaching shines in her lessons.

He had great communication, verbally and online. Anytime I needed to move or reschedule, he was very accommodating. Anytime I wasn't so clear on instructions, he cleared it up in a few seconds. Thank you, Kyle!

Garrett C.

He allowed me the ability to be creative while still being flexible enough to make clear goals for me to accomplish. Dr. Bowlby was very effective at challenging me to do greater things than I thought I could do and also adapting to my strengths and weaknesses. I would absolutely take this class again.

I found Annie while searching for an experienced vocal coach. Annie always has an animated energy and lessons in her apartment leave me with such an upbeat attitude. I needed help brightening up my tone while singing and I have improved so much from my first lesson. Annie empowers and encourages me at each of my lessons to believe in and trust myself and my abilities as I improve in singing high notes. I was a very shy singer and I was too afraid to sing in front of others. Within a couple of months of lessons with Annie, I auditioned for musical theatre productions and Milwaukee Music Academy facilitated several opportunities to sing in front of an audience, including at Summerfest! Annie has a lot of experience in different styles of music to help her make private lessons feel very personal despite her numerous students!

I found Jim to be very knowledgeable and able to put things "in my terms". As a beginner he was able to teach me how to play and read some music. He is patient yet passionate enough to push you. He's always willing to answer questions (even my most basic ones) with enthusiasm. Would definitely recommend to any level student because I've seen him play and here can jam.
