Get to Know… Twelve Tone Music School
What sets your business apart?
Our focus is community. We have an incredible team of 25 gifted and passionate instructors and 10 lesson rooms. Many of our instructors are multi-instrumentalists and can teach more than one instrument at a high level. We also have our own stage in-house so we can easily host monthly concerts and recitals giving our students the ability to perform as much as possible for family and friends. This is what we are all about! We teach all styles of music from rock to jazz to folk, you name it. Our main goals are to embrace creativity and show our students how music is truly created, which includes how to write their own songs, improvise, as well as read music and play the popular tunes that they love.
Why Glenview?
Glenview is an amazing town for kids to grow up and has a very close-knit vibe. My husband John started his first businesses, Big Blue Swim School & Big Blue Aquatics, out of the OLPH pool right in downtown Glenview in 2009. Glenview has always been kind to us and has been a part of our lives for the last 10 years! We love downtown Glenview and are excited to be back in the neighborhood and be a part of the next decade of growth.
You might be surprised to know…
We are customers of our own business as we have an 8 year old son and a 5 year old daughter both in music lessons. Our son takes guitar and he also does the Jam Class. Our daughter just started drum lessons and also wants to sing. I play piano and my husband plays guitar so at some point we will have our own family band! I am always thinking of band names for the future….
What’s your favorite quote?
“There is no such thing as failure, really, because failure is just that thing trying to move you in another direction. So you get as much from your losses as you do from your victories. Because the losses are there to wake you up. Life is bigger than any one experience.” – Oprah
