Here's What Our Parents and Students Have to Say About Us!

"Great place for Guitar Lessons! And any other instrument or art. Chris Wilson is an amazing guitar player, musician, teacher and mentor. Great atmosphere for creativity and education. Great for kids and adults."
David Gray

"The Academy of Music and Art has provided an exceptional experience for our son in both guitar and piano! Mr. Chris and his entire staff are not only talented and professional, but provide a wonderful, positive learning environment for students of all skill levels. It is truly a privilege to have our son attend such a fantastic music school!"
Lindsay Johnson

"My daughter, Georgia (age 6), absolutely loved the Art Imagination Camp this summer! She especially loved using all the art mediums they used in camp (pastels, water colors, etc.) as well as all doing the crafts they made (paper mache piñatas, jewelry, and beach scene with sand and clay)! It was especially nice that they hosted an Art Show on the last day of camp so the kids could display their hard work for families to see! We will definitely be attending camp again next summer and are looking forward to taking music classes this fall!"
Elizabeth K - Hinsdale, IL

"Taking lessons at the Academy of Music and Art not only developed my musical ability and opened my eyes to all types of music, but it allowed me to have fun the entire time. I looked forward to going to my lesson every week to work with my teacher and learn from the very best in a great environment." 
S. Arvis - Hinsdale, IL 


"The Academy of Music and Art has been a major part of my musical development. The individual attention given to me as a student has helped make me decide to pursue a career in music. In my experience there is no finer school of this type in the area." 
I. Murphy - Downers Grove, IL 


“Having taken lessons for more than four years, I have found the Academy of Music and Art to be a great place to learn any instrument. The staff is well trained, friendly, enthusiastic and eager to teach music. I have recommended the School to many friends, who are now some of the best musicians I know. The material is well taught and presented in an interesting, easy form, in a professional environment.” 
C. Snedeker - Hinsdale, IL
 

"When I first called the Academy of Music and Art I was very happy with all the information I was given. Every effort was made to accommodate our very busy schedule. My daughter is enjoying her first experience with professional music lessons. I would recommend this school to adults and kids of all ages. It is nice to see a place where you can learn guitar in a clean professional environment." 
D. Olson - LaGrange, IL 


"Learning music from well-trained teachers has expanded my musical horizons and given me greater opportunities as a musician myself. Music plays an important role in my life and learning it from a prestigious school such this one has provided me with experiences that I will take with me throughout all my endeavors” 
S. Pinta - Westmont, IL
