As a teacher, Andy delivers an extremely thorough approach to his lessons, always going the extra mile to make sure his students have the tools they need to succeed. Whether working with group classes or a private lesson, he always creates a fun and relaxing learning environment for everyone. However, what sets Andy apart is that he is both a gifted and in-demand performer in the theatre and jobbing scene here in Chicago. His vast working experience is invaluable to anybody lucky enough to study with him. I highly recommend Buffalo Grove Drum Lessons.

Aso a Great Music School for Adults!…read more I started taking voice lessons from Jennifer about two years ago. Although I had some music background, I really didn't know anything about singing and she patiently brought me from not knowing chest voice and head voice to being able to confidently sing throughout my entire range. There were times I really struggled with understanding singing and Jennifer was always patient and encouraging. And I get to spend some time each lesson working on singing any song I'd like to work on. That's fun! I play keyboards and guitar in some local bands, and sing backup, and I've gotten a lot of feedback about how much my singing has improved since I started taking lessons from Jennifer. I feel like my lessons with her are my secret weapon for getting really good at singing! I thought that music schools were mainly geared towards children, but the quality of instruction was way more than adequate for learning voice as an adult and helping me with the singing I currently do professionally. I definitely recommend the Schaumburg School of Music in general, and Jennifer in particular, to anyone who wants to learn an instrument or learn or develop their singing voice. Even people who already sing professionally!

Horrible place.Purchased a gift certificate for 4 lessons and was only able to schedule 3 out of…read morethe 4 because apparently they have a policy of one lesson a week that they don't inform you about from the beginning. Called and talked to Marjorie and she had the audacity to ask me if I'm looking for a free class? No I'm looking for a class I already paid for. Seems like in this place the rules change based on who you're talking to and could be different from one person to another. Just a horrible experience all together. We we looking to purchase more classes for our daughter but based on how Marjorie handled this situation we will take our business somewhere else.

Recently had my elementary school daughter's birthday there. We were super excited to sing and…read morerecord in the studio. We had booked the party 2 months in advance and picked the song off the list they provided. We were told that the song would be on the tv screen so the kids could read it. Instead when we arrived the song was printed on a piece of paper for the kids to hold. We were very disappointed and underwhelmed by the experience from start to finish. the administrative help were very friendly with booking the party and securing the date, We found the actual party to be disappointing. The woman who 'taught' the kids to learn the song was boring, disinterested and lacked the type of enthusiam that was needed to ensure the kids were excited to record. All she did was give out a piece of paper and had the kids practice over and over. She did not split them into groups, nor make it fun and kept looking at the clock to see 'when they could go to the studio.' She then kept saying to the group of 8 year olds 'are you nervous.' Instead of encouraging them and being enthusiastic. She was disorganized and when asked if the kids wanted to sing the song again had the majority of the kids say 'no,' even the adults were not wanting to sing again.she made little effort to break up the song, make it more interesting. it was an overall disappointing experience for my daughter. If you do a party there, make sure you find out who will lead it.The facility is nice and clean.. the employees will do minimal extra for you. You will take the lead on setting up the room and will need to ask for them to get out tables for the party. I had higher hopes. It is a nice facility and for the price of the party it was just okay. We have had much better parties.

Some teachers excel at technique, others at musicality, others at teaching; Ms. Wen excels at all and more. She has a lovely demeanor that draws people to her. She is warm, welcoming and makes her students feel like they can accomplish anything. She is unique in that she can be highly demanding and exacting while also being gentle, nurturing, and kind. Ms. Wen is an excellent teacher. If a student is not grasping a concept, she is well prepared to tackle it from different angles. She never loses patience. She meets a student where they are and works in concert to foster a sense of excellence and drive. She knows how to motivate. She inspires a sense of wanting to grow that is self-generated in the student. She is truly a remarkable teacher.
