1.) THE MUSIC LESSON MUST FOCUS ON THE STUDENT’S MUSICAL PASSION

Tired of constantly recycling music teachers because they just don’t stick? A great music studio focuses its lessons on music students love to listen to and play, inspiring them to hone their skills and making practice sessions an enjoyable experience for them and you!

2.) ALL WORK AND NO PLAY? NOT ANYMORE!

Ineffective music coaches will have your kids practicing the same boring exercises until they burn out! And what’s worse, this “football coach” approach drains all the passion and spontaneity from the experience and makes students lose interest quickly. In order to create a truly rewarding musical experience there has to be a balance of work and fun, which is why CHMA incorporates elements such as jam sessions, recording, and songwriting into our lessons.

3.)ENGAGING AND ENTERTAINING MUSIC TEACHERS

Though you can find all different kinds of music teachers, you’ll be hard-pressed to find ones who can keep students engaged, entertained, and excited about coming to lessons every week. The coaches at CHMA understand that inspiring students to love music is just as important as teaching them the scales and chords. After all, students who aren’t inspired to play will never put their skills to use!


4.) ABOVE AND BEYOND! SHAPING-LONG TERM GOALS IN EACH MUSIC LESSON

For many students, their musical journey ends as soon as their lesson does. We believe that music can play an enriching and uplifting role in students’ lives, which is why we set goals for them that go beyond their 30-minute lessons. Whether we’re helping students record an album or prepare for a live performance, we set and achieve long-term goals in order to transcend students’ (and parents’) ideas of what music lessons can and should be. 


5.) USING TECHNOLOGY TO OUR ADVANTAGE

Online jam tracks, recording software, digital instruments, you name it: technology has become an integral part of music teaching in today’s world, and we embrace it wholeheartedly. CHMA embraces this concept and understands that using technology can enhance lessons and ensure that our students are getting the most out of their musical experience.


6.) FUN, RESULT-DRIVEN MUSIC LESSONS ARE WHERE IT’S AT!

In years past, music coaches relied on one instrument method book to teach and inspire students. Unsurprisingly, this method often fell short. In contrast, Clarendon Hills Music Academy's lessons pull lesson content from popular music, classic hits, techniques both old and new, and each coach’s years of experience to make each lesson productive and different. That way, we can focus on getting substantial, long-lasting results while maintaining a fun and exciting musical environment. 


7.) INSPIRING STUDENTS ONE MUSIC LESSON AT A TIME

Our music coaches are constantly looking for new and creative ways to inspire themselves and their students. Part of that inspiration comes from building students’ confidence and helping them realize their innate talents and strengths. We strive to show students the value of their musical experience, one lesson at a time.

We are always glad to offer new first time students the chance to try a FREE lesson with no strings. Please Click Here For a FREE $30 Music Lesson Gift Card or call 630-98-MUSIC to start your journey today.
