Midwest Conservatory of Music

The vision of the Midwest Conservatory of Music is to provide opportunities for quality music education and enrichment in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago by offering private music lessons and performance opportunities for students of all ages who dream of a life filled with music. The wide variety of training at Midwest Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) will broaden their ensemble repertoire and musical experiences.

At Midwest Conservatory, we believe that each student possesses the potential to blossom into the musician they are aiming to become. This potential is nurtured through close attention to the detail of each student’s goals and development as a musician. We are sensitive to and greatly value each student’s purpose for music study and base each student’s lesson plan on these purposes: whether it is aid for playing in a school orchestra, eventually attending music school/university, or just wanting to learn to play personal favorites from various genres of music for personal enrichment. So, whatever your purpose for music study is, all are welcome!
