We have missed you at our studio!
It's been 6 long months since we've welcomed anyone into the studio, and we are beyond thrilled to offer a hybrid lesson program starting September 14, 2020! Students who choose this option will have 2 in-person lessons at the studio and 2 virtual lessons per month. This allows us to limit the amount of people in the studio and still give you in-person instruction. Instead of the usual 4-5 teachers present, only 2 teachers will be scheduled in our largest rooms on a rotating schedule. Please read below to learn more! The safety of staff and students is our #1 priority at Bucktown Music. |

Are students required to attend in-person lessons?
No. In-person lessons will be completely optional. You may continue with 100% virtual lessons if that's your preference.
When will in-person lessons start?
We expect students to be able to attend in-person lessons starting Monday, September 14th.
Will all teachers be available for in-person lessons?
No. Some of our teachers have special circumstances and health issues that prevent them from providing in-person lessons but will still be available and committed to offer virtual lessons of the highest quality. If you prefer in-person lessons and your current teacher is unable to come in, you may choose to switch teachers.
Will all instruments be available for in-person lessons?
No. Voice and wind instruments will remain virtual only due to the higher risk associated with those instruments.
What about social distancing?
Will there be new protocols to follow when we visit Bucktown Music?
We thank you for your support. We look forward to hearing your beautiful music in the halls of Bucktown Music once again.
