If you or your children want to learn music in a structured, yet fun environment where all are welcome and supported, look no further than Noteable Notes Music Academy.

I cannot say enough nice things about Plainfield School of Music! My daughter takes guitar lessons…read morewith Chris. She'd previously attended another local music school, and was miserable. She ever wanted to go, and wasn't learning anything. She's been here for two months, and has learned a lot. She's eager to learn, AND practice at home. We were pleasantly surprised with the interior, featuring large rooms for lessons, a comfortable waiting room, and even a stage for performances. I was even impressed with their teachings of "learn to play what you love". There's something very endearing about a man looking like he belongs as a member of Metallica, teaching tweens how to play Taylor Swift. You pay $21 per lesson, and pay upfront for a month. They're very flexible with cancellations-they will actually reschedule your lesson (if you're sick, or have homework like my child). Highly recommend.

Literally the most unprofessional business I have ever dealt with. Zero or actually negative…read morestars. While my oldest daughter worked with Kaitlyn for voice lessons for a few years and had a great experience with her, the business is so poorly run, and they will just take your money and run. About a year ago, we were informed that we owed over $2000 in back pay due to their lack of proper accounting. It took me hours to go over records and verify that what they were claiming was correct. And in the end, I still wasn't sure if there was some inflation of charges since it was over a year's worth of billing that I had no invoices to keep track of. After this blunder on their part, they changed their accounting and billing policy and actually started sending invoices monthly. But the invoices reflected payments for 2 months in advance. So essentially if you decide to quit, they have 2 months worth of your money. My daughter's voice teacher, Kaitlyn, decided to leave AMI, and we were only given 1 week's notice prior to her leaving. In fact Kaitlyn said she was instructed NOT to say anything up until one week before. And my daughter is about to go to college, so switching now to a new teacher made no sense. So now we are left with over $800 in credits that we will never use. I asked several times for them to reconsider and reimburse our money. In the medical field where I work, it is customary to give patients 90 days notice if you are leaving so they can find a new provider. And we have worked with other music related businesses and none of them were crooks like AMI. Look elsewhere.

Never in my life have I experienced a private music school with teachers as exceptionally talented,…read moreknowledgeable & personable as SoR Naperville. It's a classy, extremely high caliber music school disguised in a humble, charming building and taught by humble charming people. Additionally, randomly, their bass teachers are also really, really, ridiculously cool. And smart. And funny?! And for some reason their rooms always smell the best?! Anyway, just my observation as someone who walked by it on the sidewalk once and definitely not the bass teacher with the essential oil diffuser (it's cedarwood oil). On a more serious (quarter) note: enrolling your kids here opens them to an extremely supportive, positive, driven community while at the same time exposes them to the highest caliber private & small group music instruction in Naperville.

School of Rock Naperville is absolutely fabulous! As a mother of three children, I consider School…read moreof Rock to be one of the most influential factors in their creative growth and discovery. It's about the The Music: you will be amazed with what the teachers at School of Rock will do with your child. We have done at least a dozen performances series, as well as private lessons, for years. Huge shot out to Adam and Sean!! It's about Teamwork: my 12 year old son practically calls School of Rock Napervillle his second home. It is truly like a family here! Great life lessons are learned behind these doors: Respect, Empathy, Team Skills, and Positive Communication and Affirmation. It's about Passion: my son has found his soul here. He now goes to his piano to wind down and release any stress. This is a life-long gift. We treasure this beyond words can say. School of Rock is a gem. I would recommend starting with a one week Summer Camp. Surely to amaze!!!

The lessons and experiences my son has had here will do just that, stay with him for life. Such a positive place for young musicians to go and grow their love for music

Awesome services. Not only do they teach guitars and other instruments, and voice lessons, but they…read morealso have student workstations set up to teach producing your tracks using iMacs and Apple's Logic Pro X music editing software - which by the way is both known as the software to have, because it's great with medium and pros, but with a little learning curve, also with beginners. It's a great value for parents to get their kids someday, it won't break the bank, and Logic was wisely chosen as the program to teach at this place. They're a great value financially, but the main reason why you'd want to take lessons is because of their very talented teachers. They're all 20s and 30s, so they don't teach the old school Led Zeppelin school of rock oldies. They are more in this day and age of music like hip hop, pop, and electronic EDM. Their sound booths are super large, and their production studios are also very large, loaded with multiple instruments, and super cool. Again, it's cool that they know how to record and produce your music, and that they can add other instruments to your tracks, but in my opinion, what I think is the coolest, is that they have a dozen computers with affordable software parents could buy so that their kids could produce their music on their own. They're really good at showing off, but what got my kid really excited was that she could do things, like copy and paste harmonies of her voice, and as piano and drums, etc herself to her own music (which was great as her vocals and her guitar, but it's truly professional and sellable by electronically/programmatically adding much much more to her basic songs. Excitement in your kid - that's where they really Excel. But holy cow, these guys will take your semi-talented teenager and turn them into the next Taylor Swift or Calvin Harris or Beyonce. Absolute Music Academy is way better than any other place we've been, and we've been to 3 vocal coaches, a guitar coach, and SoR. There's no comparison if your kid wants to play today's music and honestly, quite possibly, turn pro. Good luck. Very affordable. Have fun!

Other than a month or two of piano when I was 10, I've never played an instrument. So, I was as raw as it gets and to top it off, I'm not an artistic type. In other words, I was probably the worst type of student possible. But, Jim is a patient, laid back, intuitive teacher. If one teaching method isn't quite clicking for me one week, he'll try another method. Also, I travel quite a bit for work and Jim is very flexible in scheduling lessons. There is none of this "every Tuesday at 7PM" type of thing. I schedule my lessons on an ad hoc basis as my schedule allows and Jim is always able to accommodate. Learning the banjo is one of the most challenging things I've done and Jim is making it possible and more importantly, enjoyable.
