music schools in chicago

1.Chicago School of Music

The Chicago School of Music was originally established under the management of www.zzounds.com and www.harmonycentral.com at Pipers Alley at North and Wells in September of 1998.  We focused on the core of our business which was music education and private lessons while the corporate center developed a cutting edge website for selling musical instruments.  The music school was had its own space, teachers and managers.  It was very unique because we offered training on the digital equipment that the store was selling as well as training on world instruments such as the didgeridoo, Koto, and Celtic Harp.  We were also partners with the other businesses in Pipers Alley mainly Second City and Tony and Tina’s Wedding.
