Why Choose Us?

At the Elmhurst Music Academy, we are proud to offer our students the following:

Quality Music Education
We believe music lessons can be fun while providing a solid foundation in music theory. We don’t just teach students how to play a song for their recital; we provide a solid musical education that will create a deep lifelong appreciation of music.

Inspiring Teachers
Exceptional teachers can motivate students to learn and ignite their passion for music. Our teachers are carefully vetted for not only their training and experience but for their ability to encourage and inspire.

Diversity of Style
We believe that students learn best when they are free to pursue their individual musical interests. We have teachers that cover a wide variety of popular and traditional musical styles. Whatever kind of music inspires you or your child; we have a teacher for you.

Performance Opportunities
We believe that public performance helps students set and reach their goals and build confidence. Elmhurst Music Academy offers numerous recitals at no additional cost and students are given many solo performance opportunities. Our teachers work with students on all the elements required for a successful performance.

Learning-Only Environment
We are not a store. Our only focus is your musical education. Our teachers are not peddling products and your lessons are our top priority.

Individual Approach
Our primary business is private lessons so that each student can progress at their own pace and teachers can adapt lessons to each student’s musical interest and learning style.
