Could not be happier with the way my daughter is being taught to play the piano. The staff is…read morefriendly and know how to teach kids. My daughter loves Ms Jessica. She knows how to teach children and keep her attention. Seeing all the parents taking their children here to learn music made my decision on House Of Music that much easier. The first lesson was free and the fees are reasonable. Highly recommend anyone to take their children here to learn music. Minus a star for lack of parking and the rotted wood that is a tripping hazard when you enter the door from the parking lot. I know it's a converted house but that should be removed already.

This review is not about lessons but about their repair services:…read more Took my sons guitar in for a restringing on a Saturday. I was called the following day and Notified that the guitar restringing was Completed but that the neck needed adjustment & the repair person for that isn't there but would "probably" be in on Monday and someone would call me back. From Monday to Thursday I called daily to get an update on when the guitar would be ready and each time I got a different person and had to explain the situation to each of them and each time I was told I'd get a call back with a date it would be complete. On Thursday afternoon, I went into the store and asked for my sons guitar back as it still had not been repaired. I then drove directly to Axes Music in Mokena where the owner, Bill greeted me as I walked through the door. He inspected the guitar, took it in back and within 10 mins, completed the adjustment. He also commented on the "odd" restring job that was done at House of Music. I gave two stars instead of one because everyone I talked to at House Of Music was considerate, it was the last persons suggestion that I just come and get the guitar as he admittedly had no idea when it would get repaired after texting with a "manager" about it.

I've been going to piano lessons here for over 2 years now and it was one of the best decisions I…read morecould have made, Gerry is the best piano teacher anyone could ask for, super nice and relaxed and easy going and accomodating, and above all super talented at playing the piano, it's great listening to him play, but he really inspired me to play the piano and stick with it, and now I'm about to buy my own keyboard, the price is $18 per half hour lesson, which is the absolute best deal i could find in the city, they also give guitar lessons as well, i can not recommend highly enough

Noteworthy Piano Studio is a beautiful place to learn with one of the most creative teachers I have…read moreever heard of. My attention was captivated as I earned trophies at competitions, performed in recitals, and participated in duets. I achieved many awards through small achievements frequently which kept me engaged. From memorizing pages, learning songs, and completing technique drills all my efforts were recognized. The two Steinway Grand pianos at her studio are truly gorgeous instruments and feel fantastic to play. I highly recommend Patti Nyien as a teacher and her Noteworthy Piano Studio to students of all ages.

I took piano lessons at Noteworthy Piano Studio for 14 years (stopping after I graduated high…read moreschool). Patti (who is the sole instructor at the studio) was always very encouraging of my hard work, gently vindictive of the times I fell short, and knowledgeable on the material I worked on. In my 14 years there, I went from chopsticks to Chopin and everything in between. Patti uses multiple teaching techniques to advance her students. While the regular instruction at the piano was certainly her main tool, she also had computer programs that would help with rhythm, understanding music theory, and even playing pieces. Once a year, I went out for AIM testing, where I would perform for a different teacher and they would provide me some instruction. They would test me on my sight reading ability and how well I performed a song (or several). There were some real advantages of doing this testing. It set a specific goal for where I would need to be, and I had to work towards that goal so I could pass the test and reach a new "level" of piano (AIM in particular was a pass/fail course and had specific criteria for numerous levels of the program - in the end I got to Level 11 iirc). One of the main things that sets her studio apart is how many opportunities she makes for students to perform their material. She hosts group piano classes about once a season where students can perform in front of a small group of other students. I really enjoyed these growing up, and they were a great motivator for working on my repertoire. Additionally, she hosted much larger recitals twice a year that allowed me to pick a piece or two and perform it in a piano hall in front of other piano students and their parents. The other students and I were also offered opportunities to perform at various functions throughout the year (such as her recent Glorious Grands concert last year), and were given options to compete in several competitions. My instruction at Noteworthy Piano Studio allowed me to be able to play piano on my own as an adult. I regularly go to pick up new sheet music for a song I want to learn, and I still play on a nearly daily basis on my own time. I no longer have a teacher that I report to each week, but I strongly feel that Patti's instruction is what enabled me to reach this point.

I bid on and won a gift certificate for lessons at Muzicnet School of Music in downtown Park Forest, Illinois.
