Logan Square is one of Chicago real music neighborhoods, thick with players, venues, and people who take making things seriously. It is about ten minutes from the studio, or a straight Blue Line ride, and it sends the kind of student who wants to actually get good rather than just dabble. Whether that is jazz, songwriting, or finally learning to accompany yourself singing, a weekly lesson here fits a creative life.
Logan Square is one of the city’s real music neighborhoods, and the students who come from here often play already, wanting to push deeper into jazz, improvisation, or singing with a teacher who gigs around town.
Lessons are private, one student, one teacher, 50 minutes per session. Pricing runs from a single lesson ($125) up to semester enrollment ($100 per lesson, billed $400 every 4 weeks). The most common starting point is the 4-Lesson Pack at $450, four lessons to see if the fit is right.
