As a musician and music educator (harp), music education for my girls is one of my top priorities. I've worked at many schools from early education to Loyola University and continuing adult education. The staff at Bucktown Music is unbeatable for all ages. The programs offered here are the best in the city with easily applicable curriculum, clear assignments for home, developmentally appropriate challenges, and fun for parents too! My daughters love music class. They are delighted every time we step into the room. From the courtesy at the front desk to the parking options and surrounding activities; the fully stocked bookshelf to the bathroom with diapers available; the clean kitchen to foster community to the shower to support the active staff, they've thought of everything at Bucktown. Thank you for your beautiful resource to our musical city! read more

Everything about Bucktown Music is fantastic! The people& the program. And the kids LOVE LOVE LOVE class so much.

I play piano myself, but it's not something I can teach my kid! Bucktown music is great with kids. Teachers I've met always been patients with my daugher who's not alway too motivated at times. They allow make-up days & schedules very flexible. I want my daughter to enjoy music not in a comparative way and this is a perfect place to have her learn it in her own pace. read more

Our daughter loves going to music class 2-3x a week since she was 4 months. It's been great to take her on Saturdays and have a caregiver take her during the week. She's made other baby friends and loves the repetition of songs! It's her comfort zone and you can tell she's excited every time she steps in the classroom. Miss Patty and Miss Sally are both great and make the class so fun for the kiddos! read more

We generally enjoyed the classes but found this company's billing department to be very disorganized. We had numerous instances of being overcharged despite frequent conversations with the school about ending our class enrollment. It should never have been this difficult to fix (took 3 months of unauthorized charges that had to be reported to our bank). I found the lack of attention to detail and commitment to customer service to be very concerning. read more

I am a student at Bucktown Music. I take piano lessons there and I love it so much. My instructor is great and patient. While I have a lesson the same time every week, I can cancel and reschedule if something comes up and it has before so I love that they make it easy for you to make it up. They also have music classes for kids. I have taken my son to a couple and he just loves it. He is musically inclined so I can't wait until he is old enough to play an instrument. When he is, he is likely going to take them here. They have a lot of different instruments and classes. Everyone is super friendly. Parking is always easy. read more

Nothing bad happened (except the ridiculous amount they charge) on my visit with my infant daughter, but nothing great happened either. Simply put, just go to Old Town Fold Music. Overall amazing experience. Night and day experience where I don't mind paying. read more

This is an absolutely fantastic place to take your kids to learn about and to play music. They offer both individual lessons and Kindermusik group classes for kids (which we have taken). The atmosphere is wonderful - friendly and like family - and the teachers are genuinely caring and talented. I would TOTALLY recommend it to anyone with kids - or even adults who aways wanted to learn to play or sing. read more

We took a family music class this week and we all loved it! There aren't too many places in the city where I can take my 3.5 year old and 1 year old to the same class. Jessica the teacher/owner is amazingly creative. Parking is super easy and classes are affordable. We'll be back! read more

We've participated at Bucktown Music for the last six years. Our son and daughter have been going since they were babies. They've done a great moving from the kindermusic programming into instrument lessons. read more

We have been bringing our 9 month old son here for a couple months now and we all love it. The space is clean and well-maintained and we feel comfortable having our son lay and roll around the classroom. The Kindermusik curriculum is well developed and provides an excellent learning experience for all of us. The true highlight are the instructors, Miss Patty and Miss Sally. They are phenomenal and we cannot say enough good things about them. read more

We love Bucktown music! I got my daughter started when she was 9 months old and at almost 2 she still adores her classes. The Kindermusic program is fantastic and Jessica and Luis are very flexible with make-up sessions as needed, which is very helpful with the baby/toddler set. read more

My daughter has been taking voice lessons here for a year and she LOVES this place and I can actually notice the difference (esp in range). She has learned so much and has lost her fear of singing in front of others; she's more confident and looks forward to attending every Thursday. She loves Mrs. Meghan!! This is a great place for kids to learn, love and enjoy music. read more

Our son has been going to Bucktown Music 1-2x a week since he was 6 months old (he's almost 2) and we cannot say enough great things about the Kindermusik program and, more specifically, the Bucktown Music staff!!! Jessica has been our primary teacher and she's just fabulous - she's very engaging with the kids, gently encourages the parents/nannies to get involved and our son just loves her. The staff is friendly and very accommodating, especially with baby/toddler scheduling. When you're sitting at a restaurant and notice your kid is tapping the beat of the music on his lap (and you hadn't even noticed there was music playing in the background).....you know Kindermusik is working! read more

This music studio is owned and taught by degreed music professionals bringing all genres of music to this neighborhood. The teachers of guitar, violin, fiddle, voice and piano are caring and professional to students of all ages. read more

i'm taking piano lessons as an adult, and love this place. its run by a great couple, and its very family oriented. at first i was nervous taking lessons as an adult, thinking that it was only for children, but i've never felt uncomfortable here. great teachers, great environment, good price. read more

My son took Kindermusik classes here for about a year and a half. We just finished because he is starting preschool in January. Miss Patti was his teacher and she is amazing! She was excellent at leading a group of toddlers through lots of fun songs, instrument exploration, and activities and seemed to really love her job. She took the time to get to know each child and what their needs were. My son loved her and loved going to class. I also loved the extra at home activities you get each month from the Kindermusik website (music downloads, videos, books, and pdfs with activity intructions)! They have a great system for makeup classes too which is helpful with little ones. I highly recommend Bucktown Music for children's classes, we were sad to leave! read more

My son has been taking Kindermusik classes here for almost a year. He enjoys the time in class with the other kids and then at home the books, cds, and instruments that come with enrollment. Highly recommended for people looking for a class environment for their babies and toddlers to socialize, learn about music, and have fun. read more

My daughter has been taking piano as well as voice lessons at Bucktown Music for the past few years. She absolutely loves it! The instructors/staff there are excellent and very kind and patient with the kids. The recitals have been great experiences for my daughter and has greatly improved her confidence and comfort level to perform in front of others. She has learned so much at Bucktown Music and her love for piano and singing continues to grow. Her instructors, Reese and Jessica have been wonderful and my daughter adores them both! Bucktown Music is a very friendly and warm environment that makes for a great place for children to learn and have fun at the same time:) read more

I started taking classes at Bucktown a few months ago. I found the owners Luis and Jessica to be uber professional and welcoming. I can describe my entire experience in four words: I love it here. I was so pleased with the staff, the lessons and the general positive ambiance that I decided to double up on lessons; taking both guitar and voice. I'm getting the opportunity to try my hand at playing and singing a wide array of genres and am learning so much. The teachers are all so awesome and knowledgeable in their respective fields. It's clear that they really love what they do and I look forward to continuing to take lessons here in the future. read more
