We're the Music Institute of Chicago, established in 1931, the only independent community music school in Illinois, and one of just ten in the country to be accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music.
- We Serve more than 5,000 music students and arts therapy clients ages four months to 91 years
- Our key strength lies in the caliber of our distinguished faculty
The Music Institute of Chicago does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, nationality, sex, ethnic origin, or religious belief in its admission, financial aid or other educational policies.
Mission
The Music Institute of Chicago believes that enjoying and understanding music and developing the skills to create and perform music enhance the quality of life, nourish the human spirit, and is therefore committed to providing the foundation for a life-long enjoyment of music.
Specifically, the Music Institute of Chicago will:
- Provide the highest quality music education for all ages and all levels of ability
- Reach selected individuals with music education where such opportunities are limited
- Support the growth of therapy through music and the arts as a community service for individuals with special needs
- Strengthen the emphasis on lifelong music learning
-
- Build upon a proud tradition of developing the exceptional performer
What we do
- Music instruction provided by over 120 distinguished faculty in our premiere community music academy
- Performances by faculty, students, visiting artists, in-residence ensembles, and local arts organizations are presented at Nichols Concert Hall, our critically acclaimed concert venue in Evanston
- Expressive arts therapy provides multiple paths to emotional and physical healing through drama, music, art, and movement
- Outreach partnerships with schools and churches bring the joy of music to more than 4,700 economically and culturally disadvantaged youth
