OUR BEGINNINGS

Our musical origins began with the establishment of A & A Music Academy in 1982, where we provided private music instruction to all ages by professional musicians. Our artistic offerings were formed in 2005 with the creation of the Ontarioville Art Center.

To better serve the community, we have combined our passion for art and music education under one name - A & A Music & Art Academy.

What Our Students Say

“Our daughter loves it here.. she says her piano teacher is kind and funny. The teachers are good people who love what they do. I’ve taken drum lessons here myself, and as someone who grew up with music I couldn’t be more happy with this place. They put the students and the music first. We’re lucky to have it in our neighborhood and I would recommend it 100%.”

— Nicole T.

“Wonderful music school! My teacher and owner of the business Anita is spectacular! I am a retired adult who never played any music prior to coming to the school. Anita has patiently taught me for over two years. I have been able to fulfill a childhood dream to play the piano one day. It is so fun! Very professional staff and a clean, newly remodeled building in a very convenient location by the Hanover Park train station. I highly recommend A & A Music and Art Academy.”

“I absolutely love taking piano lessons with Anita. She is an excellent piano instructor, very patient and knowledgeable. She is always ready with tips and tricks that I can use to get through some of the difficult areas in my lessons. Don has been doing a fabulous job of keeping my piano in tune for the last couple of years. They are both talented in the extreme, very friendly and caring people. I highly recommend A&A Music to anyone of any age group interested in taking music lessons.”

“My son has been going for piano lessons here for a while now and I have to say that I have seen how much he loved playing. I thank his teacher, Ms. Heidi for her dedication and patience as it has not been an easy start. She is very flexible with her time, to really make sure he is caught up with his lessons. She keeps us up to date about his progress, his strengths and weaknesses. I am really pleased! My other son also started guitar lessons with Mr. Craig and he is the same as Ms. Heidi. Both have formed good relationships with my kids that made them comfortable and so made them eager to learn and love to play. They both keep my boys on their toes, giving them gentle but firm reminders to always practice. All the staff are wonderful. You can sense that they want their students to excel!”
