Music Lessons in Wheeling, IL
Private lessons for Wheeling kids, teens, and adults at The Arlington School of Music in downtown Arlington Heights — or online from home.

Band and orchestra students at Wheeling High School — home of one of District 214's strongest music traditions — come to us for private coaching on their audition and contest material, while younger Wheeling students start piano, violin, or guitar with fundamentals-first beginner lessons.
