John M. says, "Working with Annie is absolutely life-changing, and FUN. From our very first conversation to every single lesson, her passion for music and teaching shines through. She’s incredibly generous with her knowledge and truly invests in helping me become the best singer I can be—it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. She helps me develop better warmup techniques for recording, strengthen my mix voice, and give me the confidence to perform live without fear of vocal strain. But what truly sets Annie apart is her energy and focus on mindset. Yes, she works on technique, gives you exercises, and walks you through the theory and anatomy. But her focus on mindset—helping me build confidence, resilience, and a positive approach—is what has made a monumental impact on my singing. Thank you, Annie! For anyone looking for a top notch vocal coach, I would highly recommend Annie B!" Read more

Reviews for Chicago music theory teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Chicago area.
Julian H.
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.

Marlena K.
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.

Her positivity, focus and flexibility always made us feel welcome. Her ability to interpret the voice and what needs to be done to improve is profound. Annie provided my daughter with the skill and confidence to absolutely achieve her goal. Voice lessons amplified her talent and it showed on stage! Annie is professional and talented. Grateful we found her. Recommend without hesitation.

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.
Rose & Tyger Musick, Inc.
Richard G.
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.
