Since 1982, A & A Music Academy has continued to provide private music instruction to all ages by professional musicians.  Degreed faculty members teach everything from beginning music skills to advanced classical and jazz improvisation techniques.  We teach piano, organ, keyboards, guitar, band and orchestral instruments.

 

The school opened in a 1400 square foot location in Schaumburg's Salem Plaza.  The faculty consisted of Don and Anita and the students totalled about 40 per week.  Within a few months the faculty had increased to 8 and the school had over 200 students per week.  Anita, the administrator of the school, contacted four park districts in the area and offered to teach piano prorams for them.  The group programs became very popular at all locations. and are still maintained today.

 

As the school increased in size, it was relocated to a larger facility in Hoffman Estates on Hassell Road.  There it grew to a size of about 550 students per week with a faculty of 18 teachers.  A & A Music also began selling instruments and renting band and orchestral instruments to school aged children.  The retail side of the business was very helpful in providing all materials necessary for the music student.

 

In 1993 the facility was closed due to the large rent increase by the landlord.  It became apparent that in order to provide quality instruction at a quality facility the school would need its own building.  In 1995 a building was purchased in the Hanover Park Historical District.  The building was renovated to include 6 studios on the lower level, with upper level available for offices.

 

Today the studio handles 12 faculty members and about 350 students per week.  With four park districts programs feeding into the school, the enrollment is growing rapidly.  The reputation of the school is one of quality instruction and careful attention to each individual student.  Recitals are given frequently at the Poplar Creek Church.  A & A Music Academy is amember of the Illinois Music Association and participates in their annual competition as well as other area competitions each year.

 

 

A & A Music Academy's mission is to provide the highest quality private music education to the surrounding communities.  Our reputation is outstanding for customer service, reliability, integrity, honesty, dependability, personal attention to details, good will, quality, professional teaching, and customer satisfaction. 

 

We are the founders of the Hanover Park, Bartlett, Streamwood, and Hoffman Estates Park District piano programs.  The community involvement and the above qualities and facts have made us grow.  THEY STILL DO!  We're glad to have you growing with us.
