About

Currently, the most affordable institution-based lessons in the Chicago area!

We have experienced and knowledgeable teachers to provide both sound music curriculum and music pedagogy to students and families.

Pro Musica’s curricula and pedagogy inherently include social/emotional learning standards that focus on building up the communities we serve. Our teachers use culturally responsive teaching strategies to assist in bridging gaps between students, families, and our teachers.

We desire that individuals and families fulfill music performance goals, expand their breadth and depth in the understanding of music education, and performance.

We serve those whose musical curiosity has the potential for passionate musical study.

    The teachers and staff at Pro Musica make me feel like part I am of a music community. I always feel that I have a person beside me who is rooting for my growth! That really makes a difference when I am working with new challenges. In six months I have accomplished new skills and gained incredible confidence! THANK YOU!

    Dr. Jordan has been such a wonderful teacher and mentor to me since we started working together. I get to learn to play music that I’ve always wanted to be able to play and he encourages and challenges me the whole way. I have so much fun!

    Started taking lessons as an adult. Reached out to many places and Pro Musica was the most responsive and helpful group. Very happy with the lesson. Extremely friendly staff and the lessons are flexible with work and travel schedules. Could not recommend more!

    Frequently asked questions


    FROM OUR
    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

    Let's Begin!

    These several years of the pandemic to the present have allowed us, as families and individuals, to reconsider the importance and value of our time and interests. If you've wanted to take music lessons as an adult, we're ready to start making music! If you've always wanted lessons for your child and know that their love for music would deepen through lessons, now is the time... 

    ​As we come to a new normal and new beginnings, I'm reminded by a never-changing thought by Arthur O'Shaunessy: 

     "We are the music-makers and we are the dreamers of dreams."

    ​Let's get started!

    There are two options for Lessons: Option 1: 1 Cycle (5 lessons) = $325 ($65 per lesson) (full payment required at 2nd lesson) (renewable) Option 2 (recommended to promote retention): 3 Cycle (15 lessons) = $60 paid at lesson. A $120 deposit is required (This will go toward your 14 and 15th lesson). Should you end the cycle early before the 14th lesson, the deposit will be non-refundable. ($240 required at 2nd meeting with the teacher then $60 thereafter) Trial Lesson: Each new student has a trial lesson. After your first lesson you may discontinue without anything owed. If you wish to continue, your trial lesson will be counted as your first lesson and lessons will be counted from then. [Since we are a non-profit, this helps cover the costs of the teacher and lesson space - Thank you!] *Tuition Assistance available for qualifying individuals and based on availability of funds.
