Our program challenges and grows with students; whether they are picking up an instrument for the first time or are looking to enter the most prestigious music conservatories in the world. Lessons are offered in piano, violin, viola, voice, guitar, and other orchestral and band instruments. New Music School offers lessons for all ages including adults and early childhood held at our school located at 900 N Michigan Ave Level 6 in Chicago; onsite or online.
