Music Tutor Bios

We have sixteen faculty members at BMSC, who have vast experience of both playing and teaching children.  BMSC tutors have played with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Joffrey Ballet, Lyric Opera and the Chicago Civic Orchestra, to name but a few, as well as given solo performances or appeared on studio recordings.  A dedicated team of tutors, they are here to provide an enjoyable learning experience for students whilst at the same time, helping them to gain the necessary knowledge and skills needed to progress in their instrument of choice.  We offer individual lessons, group lessons and music theory, along with providing the opportunity for students to study for and sit ABRSM examinations in Grades One through Eight.
