Looking a good violin teacher near buffalo grove IL

March 1, 2012 at 07:33 PM · Amanda,

a couple of suggestions. you can check out music institue of chicago. i beleivve they have a location in highland park. specifically Reagan Brasch is quite good. a piano teacher friend of mine sent her daughter to her, adn was quite happy with her. Reagan is quite enthusiastic, and i can see her working well with kids. also, you can contact solo classic violins on half day road, near dominicks. they have 4 teachers there. hopefully Dani can suggest a teacher for you. i live in BG, but my teacher is retiring/moving in a year. Seman violins in skokie maintains a list of violinists for improv, you can contact them. another suggestion is to contact clark chaffee at stevenson hs. he is the orchestra director. email is cchaffee@d125.org. he should have some impartial, educated suggestions. good luck, and nice to see others in this forum living in the area. let me know what happens, i need a new teacher in about a year.

A lot of CSO members teach as well to supplement their income. Music world is very connected, so yanking a string will bring you a tangle of people.

His entrance criteria for students looks similar to Julliard......I suspect his prices aren't far off either.......I assume his target customers is not students looking to get into music school, if his criteria is same.
