Hi, and thanks for stopping by. I've been on this site for years, but recently, it was reset. So, all my information was erased. I teach all styles, for all different kinds of people. My lessons are extremely fun, and we use a lot of popular music, as well as classics and jazz. I teach my students to improvise as well as learn how to read music. Something that most teachers would never touch. I’ve been doing this since 1991, and I gear my lessons for each individual. Here are some review from over the years: Trevor S. David Kellen has been more than just a piano teacher for me, he's been an intelligent mentor and a respected friend. He

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 Des Plaines composition lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Des Plaines 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.

Had a trial lesson; understands student needs and proposes a rough curriculum on the spot. Her years of expertise are exhibited through her knowledge and performance.

Jon lives and breathes jazz. He teaches, composes, writes BEAUTIFUL calligraphy charts, performs, and tunes pianos. He is unfailingly enthusiastic and generous in sharing his vast knowledge with his students. I have had the benefit of knowing Jon for many years, and he is always ready to answer any musical question I pose. He is an invaluable musical resource and has inspired me to pursue my own musical path.

Dan is an incredibly knowledgable teacher. His experience playing on cruise ships, piano bars and loads of other gigs brings a depth to his teaching that can't be beat. Dan taught me a library of left hand patterns, and right hand riffs that make the blues so enjoyable at home. He has also helped me to translate some of his blues playing to my harp. Very exciting. He's patient, funny and has loads of stories. Highly recommended if you're an intermediate and up player.

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.

John is a fantastic teacher. He's very knowledgeable in various styles and music theory. Geared lessons towards my personal interests and often provided an abundant amount of materials to help reinforce any concepts we went over and anything I was curious about.
