Noble Square is a few blocks from the studio, the stretch around Division and Ashland where the old Polish downtown meets newer condos and coffee shops. It is close enough that a lesson never eats the whole evening: you come from work or from home, play for an hour, and you are back. That proximity is exactly why weekly lessons stick here.
Noble Square sits right in the studio’s backyard. The students who come from here are mostly adults, some picking piano back up, some finally learning to sing, all wanting a weekly hour close to home that’s about making music, not grades.
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.
The easiest first step for piano is the $25 trial lesson, a 30-minute session at the studio piano, no commitment. For voice, book your first lesson — no audition, no preparation, just singing. Either way, you’ll know within one lesson whether this is your spot.
At Erie & Hoyne, a few blocks west of Noble Square, an easy walk or five-minute drive. Full address and door instructions go out by email once your trial or first lesson is booked.
Yes, adult beginners are the studio’s most common student. Lessons are built around the music you actually want to play from the first session, whether you’ve never touched a key or you’re coming back after years away.
A 30-minute piano trial is $25. After that, a single 50-minute lesson is $125, a flex 4-pack is $450, and semester enrollment brings the rate down to $100 per lesson, billed $400 every 4 weeks, with your weekly time reserved all term.
