Explore the in-home lesson advantage
Since our clients are free from the burden of transportation, in-home music lessons encourage consistency and attendance in you or child’s musical routine. With Avant-Garde, parents can provide a meaningful, educational activity for their children without needing to rush out of the house or organize transportation. In home music lessons is the perfect way to enrich you and your child’s busy life with ease.
Lessons in your home provide learning benefits, too. Some of our clients find their child learns best in their home environment, or they may feel more free to express their creativity in a familiar setting. Practicing on the same instrument and same place you are taught reinforces memory and stability. Not having to rush to lessons promotes a sense of calm and focus for you or your child, maximizing your learning absorption.
Whether it is physically difficult to leave the house, or you are just tired of fighting Chicago traffic, we offer the flexibility you need so that you can just focus on the music!

"We have enjoyed the flexibility of in-person and zoom piano lessons. Through Avant-Garde our son has expanded his enjoyment of music starting with piano and now exploring drums and guitar.”

“We are very happy to be part of Avant-Garde Music. My son (15 ys old) has been studying piano and guitar with Adam McKinstry for 7 years and he enjoys all his lessons, either in person or on zoom. Adam's teaching skills are very strong and he knows how to interact with children. I love how Avant-garde is open to my son's artistic ideas and encourages him to express his creativity.”

“My 17 year old son wanted to get back to the piano lessons he had given up as a kid and we were lucky enough to find Avant-Garde Music. He has learned so much in such a short time and enjoys not only his weekly lessons, but practicing the music he is assigned. Adam McKinstry makes the lessons fun and challenging and has a style that works great with our teen. I couldn't be more impressed with the lessons - both in home and zoom.”
