Who We Are
Music House is a family-owned & operated performing arts school dedicated to serving families in the Chicagoland area and beyond. Music House was established in 1951 in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood and opened a second studio location in Humboldt Park in 2013. Music House is committed to providing thoughtful, quality programming and ensuring our offerings are inclusive, diverse, convenient and financially accessible.
We offer a variety of in-person and virtual classes at our 2 locations in West Rogers Park and Humboldt Park. Our private lessons include piano, violin, cello, viola, guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, trumpet, flute, voice, dance, and acting. We also offer several group classes including rock band, dance, and musical theater. We host a variety of performances and recitals throughout the year.
In addition to our programming in our studios, we partner with around 30 Chicago Schools every year offering performing arts and foreign language programming before school, after school, and during the day.
Music House has a staff of seventy-six incredible teaching artists. Our highly-trained teachers focus on building a strong rapport with their students, helping them blossom into the most confident and creative versions of themselves! We can’t wait to start learning with you!

Performances, Parties & Events
We believe performing is a valuable and essential experience for the developing young artist. We provide at least two (optional, but encouraged!) performance opportunities for students per year. We regularly host events to bring our community together. We are currently hosting parties online and in our outdoor space at our Humboldt Park location.
