John M. says, "I've been learning guitar through Paul for a few weeks now, and honestly he has me hooked on playing! He's very realistic with you and gives you an actual practice plan for you to do when you're home. Your progress will definitely improve as long as you practice outside of the classes! He's very passionate about what he does and will always put your goals in mind when he's making curriculum for you! As someone who was very nervous about getting a teacher, Paul is super friendly and honestly deserves his own business one day. I'll be going to Paul for years to come I hope!" Read more

Hello future students!! My name is Ms. Clare, I am located in the Chiago area, and I love teaching, crafting, and playing with my two cats. I currently only travel to students' homes, public practice spaces, and online lessons. I have been playing piano for 20 years and singing for 15. My biggest inspiration is my childhood piano teacher, Mrs. Alice Cummings. I try and emulate everything she taught me as a piano player and human being. I am a firm believer that it is okay to be wrong, and it is okay to mess up- that is the only way to learn! I love bringing fun and exploration into every student's music journey. I graduated from Columbia Col

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.

Paul is just the best. I immediately felt comfortable asking him all of my questions not just because he's absurdly knowledgeable but he's also so kind and is never judgmental about where you are in the learning process. Just be a better student than me and practice!

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 contacted Aaron because of the description of topics of instruction he listed in his ad for lessons. They were exactly what I've been looking for. The main item I've been looking for is music theory. I don't want to just learn how to play a piece of music. I want to know how the song was created and why the chords progress the way they do. And Aaron is guiding me on my path step by step. So far he as the patience of a saint dealing with this late to the party student. And I plan to test his patience by continuing to ask my main questions for everything.......Who, What, When, Where & Why?
