I acknowledged her about my concerns never received an apology. She was very rude & unprofessional. I'm really hesitant about continuing to bring my son here if this is the type of treatment I'm going get every single time I walk in.

I would drive my daughter anywhere for this type of quality so it is especially nice to have Bel Canto close to home. My daughter loved her lesson and I was impressed with how good her teacher was. The staff is impressive, accomplished, pleasant, fun and created an energy and environment where we have no other choice than to transfer here for lessons. I am not easy to please and I am very impressed. Plus they are next to Kersten's so it is nice to grab something on the way out Thank you Bel Canto for being so fabulous!!!

My 11 year old son can't wait for his lessons and my 9 year old daughter truly loves playing her violin with Patrycja. The school offers much more than just music lessons, it's a community of young musicians and teachers who really care about their students' growth. They love music and you really feel that they care about instilling the same passion in your child. The school constantly offers fun initiatives and events that bring the kids together. We've tried other schools and they do not even compare to WMA. I wish we found this place sooner!

If you are a professional string player with thousands to spare this is the place for you…read more I went here to buy to look for an intermediate violin for my 17 daughter who has been playing for less than a year. Because of this we weren't looking to spend a super ton of money on a violin, just one better than her student one. The older gentleman, who was the main luthier, was really annoyed that we didn't make an appointment (we didn't know we needed one), didn't know the make of her violin, and said he had an 11am appt coming that we'd have to basically leave before. My daughter is new to violin but not string instruments so when she asked to see violins in our medium price range with a warm tone and a high resonance he said that would be impossible cause we weren't willing to spend a lot. This is obviously not true cause we have gone to other shops and found ones in our price range matching that description. We ended up buying a fiberglass bow that was pretty expensive but i still would never give them my business again. This store is very prissy and not nice to newcomers or people who aren't wanting to spend ton on a violin. Would not recommend

As a violin teacher and being a retiree of 34 years of public school orchestra teaching in the…read moresuburbs, I can say that the reputation of this store has always been excellent, over decades. They know stringed instruments, and they know how to repair string instruments. I was there lately to help a student choose a new violin, and I was impressed with their knowledge of violins, bows, and cases for the violin. In re to repairs: they actually turned down a repair of an older violin that had been repaired a few times, because it looked too delicate, may cost more than the value of the violin, and referred my student to a second shop for another repair estimate. That's an unheard of level of honesty in this business. I would recommend this shop and I'm super picky. I generally drive into Park Ridge where many of the CSO musicians go for their repairs to MBecker, but I'd comfortable having something repaired here or buying a new item.
