Music Lessons in Skokie
In Person or Online - Tailored
to Each Student

Getting Started

Individual Learning

These music lessons are one to one with a degreed teacher. Theses are normally supplemented with four group lesson checkpoints each year, during which we check student progress and prepare them for recitals. Throughout the year, we also feature introductory group lessons. But most students prefer the focused concentration of an individual one-on-one lesson. To master the advanced techniques of music, a student requires individual attention.  Now that we feature online music lessons in Skokie (or anywhere!), we are providing the same focus, structure, and support that we always have, although in some new ways. Additional meetings with parents, student Q&A sessions, and maintaining a home environment free of distractions are some of these ways.  We offer piano, voice, and guitar lessons – now in the convenience of your home.

Dedicated Teaching Environment

All we do is teach online music lessons in Skokie. Our studio has always been a dedicated learning environment. Five Hands Studio has separate studio rooms and a lobby with wi-fi. Now for everyone’s health, we provide quality of focus online by ensuring that both teachers and families have eliminated all distractions in their environments for the lessons. Though we’ve previously served music students from Sauganash and Evanston to Wilmette, we now offer lessons to virtually anywhere online.

Extra Help for Students and Parents

We provide supplementary materials and theory software for students, which they can use from the convenience of their home computers. At our music school, we also take special care to show them how to practice. We educate parents to be good observers, so they can report productive feedback to teachers. We meet with our teachers to assess what students need additional guidance and when. These measures are our way of providing extra help to students when they need it. Learning music should be enjoyably challenging, but it should never be unnecessarily frustrating!  Our students and families get extra coaching when the going gets rough. We look forward to helping students at those key learning opportunities with our online music lessons in Skokie! 

Structured Music Lessons

Different students require various approaches and proceed at their own pace. Some have more of an opinion about what genres to play. But most improve the best with a structured and comprehensive curriculum. All students need to know the “basics” in order to enjoy playing, but we are also attentive to their musical tastes. Now we like to take extra time to get to know our students online before they proceed with their lessons – whether it be for piano, guitar, or voice. We have adapted to maintain our level of personal communication in our online music lessons.

The Finest Music Teachers

Our music teachers have university training in the instruments that they teach. All of them are personable and have degrees in music.  Many are active performers in the Chicagoland area, performing in venues such as Millennium Park, the Park West, and Vic theaters.  They have collaborated with organizations such as the CSO, Chicago Civic Orchestra, as well as Dark Star Orchestra!
