What’s the secret to being the #1 music school for 0-5 year olds in the western suburbs? 12+ years of happy families who can’t bear to go anywhere else! And recently, the Brookfield Academy for Mini Musicians opened up a satellite location in the Irving Park neighborhood of Chicago as Chicago Mini Musicians.

From socialization to language development to motor skills, their one-of-a-kind curriculum inspires creativity and leads to an explosion of musical and non-musical skills that extend far beyond the classroom. But most importantly, nothing beats the pure joy seen on little ones’ faces as they master a tricky drum pattern, giggle uncontrollably as they sing a silly song, and make new friends.

$5 demo classes are offered year-round, and weekly classes are offered on a month-to-month basis with no semester minimums.

Classes fill up fast, so sign up today and let the music and giggles begin!

From beginner to advanced, there are wonderful options all over the western suburbs of Chicago for your musical child. If you have a local studio or music teacher you would recommend who is not included, please comment below!

  • AWESOME! A directory of music classes for kids! Got plenty to choose from. I’m eager to look up reviews on some of these, my son needs to get into music right away and my daughter isn’t much of a music lover yet but I’m looking to change that.
