The Sound of a New generation
Piano CLASSES
Piano
We offer piano lessons for children beginning at age 4 and for adults of any age. Lessons for very young children focus equally on playing at the piano and on rhythm and music games. Our approach makes it easy for children of all ages to learn while staying engaged and interested in music.
Lessons for adults are tailored to your experience level and goals. Our teachers are all gigging musicians and composers with years of experience teaching music lessons to all ages, abilities and learning types in all musical styles.
We offer frequent recitals, jam sessions, karaoke nights and other opportunities to play with others and be part of a musical community
Being a student at ACM means you’re part of an organization that produces wildly creative events like the Sound of Silent Film Festival, the Thirsty Ears Festival, Songs About Buildings and Moods on PBS and many others.
We have schools in the following Chicago locations:
Avondale/Logan Square: 2860 N. Milwaukee Ave.
Ravenswood: 1758 W. Wilson Ave
Rogers Park: 7002 N. Western Ave.

Thank you for all that you’ve done for the Film Scoring Class If this class didn’t exist, I probably wouldn’t have been able to explore and pursue this thing I’m so passionate about and so enjoy.

ACM is a great place to take lessons! My son Ezra has improved at the cello so much since starting there and he's even composing his own music now!

Love this school! I came in wanting to learn a Yann Tiersen song and my teacher got it by ear, transcribed it and taught me to play it.
