Music Moves Me | Please contact Dr. Marie Alatalo for more information.

Instruction is available for students of all ages and ability levels and is offered by our experienced and dedicated faculty for the following instruments: piano, violin, viola, cello, voice, flute, clarinet, trumpet, and guitar. Suzuki instruction and musicianship classes are also offered to enhance your child's musical education. All students registered for private lessons at MIC receive deeply discounted musicianship clases as an added value to their private lesson experience.

The Music Institute of Chicago experience begins with a personalized placement interview. At this meeting, we will answer your questions about MIC and provide information about our offerings and school policies. Most importantly, the interview gives us the opportunity to learn about the personality, learning style, interests and goals of each student so that the best student-teacher match may be found.
