Music and Theater Instruction

Musical Chairs is Chicago's licensed Boutique School for music, theater and art in Lincoln Square.​​ Our mission fosters a love for the arts, provides an outlet for creative expression and builds self-confidence while focusing on the learning style of each individual student. 

Our breadth of professional teaching resources offers arts education beginning at age 4 through advanced levels in high school and adulthood.  Our instruction evolves with every student's interests throughout their tenure with Musical Chairs. 

We offer lessons for children and adults in nearly every instrument, group programming, theater, art classes, and our unique Step the Beat and Mini Maestros program for early childhood. Groups of 4+ students are invited to create their own class/program. 

New students for private lessons are accepted on a rolling basis. Registration for group classes are by session.  In-person and virtual lessons are both offered based on student / instructor preferences and availability.
