Old Town School of Folk Music is a great place to learn how to play guitar. The program and teachers make it fun and easy to learn how to play, even if you have no experience. Ive been taking group lessons from Mary Peterson for 2-1/2 years now and have so much fun learning how to play guitar. I miss playing with a group but the Zoom classes are great until we can all be at the school together again. If youre on the fence about learning guitar, just do it!

We are signed up for wiggle worms and we have been loving it. However, I wanted to see if we could drop-in for a Thursday class one week and the customer service I received when I inquired about this was AWFUL! She laughed at me and all she said was “that’s not how it works”. I have been very disappointed in the level of customer service all around. When we go into the music center the front desk is not friendly and they have rudely asked all parents to park strollers elsewhere instead of politely helping them to move their strollers into a more acceptable space. We pay a lot of money for each music session and I would’ve expected better customer service in every area.

I love this place.I signed up for beginner guitar classes on a bit of a whim, post break-up and looking for something to distract me, and fill the newly formed void. For $200, it seemed like a healthier alternative to spending the same amount on cocktails.For another $65, I was able to get a songbook and rent a guitar from their Lincoln Square location.

Excellent place to learn and enjoy music. Lucky and vibrant area with diversity and cultural vibe.

Wonderful place for people of all ages to take musical instrument or dance lessons. Had great experiences with the teachers.
