Private Music Lessons for Learners in Rockford, IL, and Beyond

Whether you wish to develop a new skill for yourself or your child, Neighborhood Music will guide you on your journey. We conduct private music lessons in Rockford, IL, for students of all ages, and using Google Meet, we can interact with students outside of the local area. Our pupils range from elementary school students to adults. We will teach you how to play the following musical instruments:

Piano
Violin

Viola

In addition, we teach music theory and technique.

Why Study Music?

Learning to play an instrument is a talent you will enjoy for a lifetime. However, music instruction does more than cultivate performance skills. Studies show that studying an instrument can result in:

Improved Memory and Attention Span
Increased Sensory Development
Increased Patience and Discipline
Social Skills Development
Posture Improvement
Better Academic Skills
Improved Self-Esteem
Reduced Stress

Our Teaching Methods

We offer one-on-one music lessons so that each learner receives personalized support. However, students also have the opportunity to perform with their peers during recitals, and in a string orchestra. We also follow a comprehensive approach for all our lessons. Our goal is to cultivate students who have a strong grasp of music theory and technique and feel comfortable with experimentation and exploration.

In addition, our instructional plans for string instruments combine traditional training and the Suzuki method. The traditional lessons teach students the technical skills needed for effective performance, while the Suzuki method helps them achieve mastery more quickly. We use Faber, Alfred, and Bastien methods for piano students and the Music for Little Mozarts series for younger students.

For a more interactive learning experience, our piano lessons incorporate an intelligent digital keyboard. This method helps students understand music theory better. To learn more about our teaching methods, contact us today.

Our half-hour lessons cost $20. Weekly payments are accepted, and students will not be charged for missed lessons. Reach out to us for any questions about rates and payment.
