Music House School of Performing Arts - Humboldt Park
Private
Music House is a performing-arts school founded in 1951 whose Humboldt Park studio at 1018 N. California Ave. runs Artist Playhouse Summer Camp for ages 4-11.

Camp runs 9:00am-4:00pm at $495 per week ($395 for additional siblings), with early drop-off from 8:00am and late pickup to 5:00pm for $15 per day each; no experience is needed and campers bring their own nut-free lunch and snacks.

★★★★★Rina YusofWe love this place. My son has been going here for his private piano lesson for 3 years now. The front desk persons are very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Always quick and efficient with any scheduling concern. The piano teacher, Ms. Hedy, is the best piano teacher ever (quote: my kid). She is very patience, super nice and understanding and know what it takes handling a 9 year old perfectionist kid. My family appreciate all the staffs here at Music House Humboldt Park. Highly recommend this place.
★★★★★Sax FamilyI am 55 years-old and I take guitar lessons at Music House in Humboldt Park. I played guitar from age 13-30. During Covid, I decided to pick it back up. I signed up for guitar lessons at Humbold Park with guitar teacher, Max, who is uber talented and a great teacher. I've been taking guitar lessons from Max for about 5 years now. Music House has a wide range of musical instrument and dance lessons for kids and adults. It's wonderful to have a place like Music House in the neighborhood where kids and adults can pursue their musical interests. For anyone looking for music or dance lessons for their kids, or an adult like me who wants to pursue a musical instrument, Music House is the place for you.
★★★★★Matt CampasanoA truly exceptional music school. The instructors take great care and concern to help aspiring found musicians to learn and grow. My daughter has been taking drum lessons for the last year since she turned four. We were hesitant to sign her up so young, but they’ve done amazing work with her. She’s a whole drummer at this point and just turned five. Honestly remarkable. Don’t hesitate. Music House is an astonishing value.
★★★★★alanna zaritzWe spend a lot of time with Music House and we have been doing so for years. Our investment in our kiddo has been well worth it, since she has learned tremendously in the last 7 years and has had a lot of fun with her teachers. We plan to continue enrolling her at Music House, and she aspires to teach there someday. The teachers are fantastic, the support staff is fantastic, and Music House engages tons of kids on so many different levels. It's a wildly ambitious school, covering classical music lessons, dance, theater, visual arts, and there's always a ton going on, and a ton to try out. There are so many great communicators working for Music House, and you can tell that the instructors really care about their students. As big as Music House has gotten, it never stops feeling like a family business, and that is very much to their credit. This last point is not exactly a review of the business, but even the parents who put their kids in Music House programs, you can tell that they are really invested too, in something beyond discipline or technical proficiency. A lot of what your kid will get in a program, like orchestra, for example, is interaction with other young musicians. You hope that your kid's peers kids will be wonderful, and that their parents will be conscientious et al, and it's not something you can buy.... but you amazingly do get that with Music House, and the overall community that Music House has fostered makes a world of difference.
★★★★★Kristin ConnellMy kids love Music House. We’ve been taking our two toddlers to Music Together here since they were babies, and it has been one of the best experiences for our family. The classes are warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for babies to toddlers. It’s a good combination of some structure but also understanding of the age and letting kids wander around safely. It’s mostly focused on the parents singing along, you get a cd to go with every session. You also play with instruments for at least one song per class some times more, as well as one song that is more of a free dance. It has been very cool to watch our kids confidence, rhythm, language, and love for music grow over time. The flexible structure has worked well for our kids. We highly recommend it to any family looking for a fun activity with children.
