About A & A Music & Art Academy

A & A Music & Art Academy is a beloved Hanover Park institution offering private music lessons and art classes for students of all ages. Founded in 1982, our academy is guided by a caring, degreed faculty who are passionate about helping you grow as a musician or artist. We also provide professional piano tuning and repair services to the community.

Our Journey

In 1982, Anita and Don Komorski opened A & A Music Academy in Schaumburg’s Salem Plaza with just 40 students. Within months, demand grew rapidly, and we expanded to eight instructors and over 200 weekly students. Wanting to create a space dedicated to learning, we purchased and renovated a historic building in Hanover Park’s Historical District, reopening in 1995. Today the studio has 15 faculty members and serves over 350 private students per week and continues to grow.

In 1997, we expanded into the visual arts by founding the Ontarioville Art Center next door. Over time, our art program flourished, offering drawing, watercolor, clay, and more to students of all skill levels. In 2023, we officially merged music and art under one roof, forming A & A Music & Art Academy, a true hub for creative expression in the community.

Continuing its legacy, the academy remains committed to providing individualized attention, hosting regular music recitals, and participating in competitions through the Illinois Music Association. With a strong reputation and ongoing growth, the academy looks to the future with plans to further enrich its programs and community involvement.
