Heidi K. says, "I have had a wonderful introduction to guitar with my first pack of lessons from Owen. I was hesitant to purchase lessons online fearful that I would be learning with a great guitar player verses a great teacher. Owen has proven me wrong! He clearly taught many before me; exhibited by his patience, knowledge, lesson planning and valuable feedback. As an adult learner, I am surpising myself each week with my progress due all in part to his teaching! Totally, 100%, recommend. ~Heidi K." Read more

Reviews for Chicago flute lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Chicago area.
Chelsea D.
I've had several lessons with Eliza-Jane so far and they've been wonderful. She's very kind and makes you feel comfortable as a student immediately. We've been focusing quite a bit on my breathing technique and finding ways for me to sing safely in a way that doesn't strain, which has been very important to me. I also want to note that I'm a music theater singer, and two lessons in she already started helping me find good songs for my book. I definitely recommend!!

I enjoy my lessons with Ralph! I have been working with Ralph for a few months now, and I enjoy our sessions a lot. He makes the lessons fun and exciting. We have been selecting some of the Disney songs, and they are easy and fun to learn and play. I highly recommend Ralph.
