Wunder Kids Classes (Kindergarten through 6th grade)

Our 10-week Winter session begins November 23. Schedules and class descriptions are posted on this site. You may register on-line, by phone, or in person. For more information call 847/685-2030, or email us at ask@wunderstudios.com.

Wunder Studios offers expert instruction in music, theatre, and performance skills. The class sizes are limited so that every student receives personal attention. All classes are taught by working professional performers with an emphasis on empowering students to succeed. Our classes are designed to build their skills and confidence. The curriculum for each session in new, so students may take the same class again and again.

Private Lessons
We offer 30, 45, and 60-minute private lessons for most instruments, as well as 45 minute semi-private lessons for selected instruments. The semi-private option, where two students share a lesson, can be beneficial for beginning students. Lessons may begin at any time — all you need to do is make an appointment to get started. Contact us today and we will help you find the approach that best suits your needs. Lessons can be arranged during the day, after school, in the evening, or on weekends.

Drumming Classes
We are all drawn to drums. The human response to rhythm is hard-wired in each of us and that response is thrilling regardless of age or background.

Group drumming is a fun, positive experience for everyone regardless of ethnic and cultural background, musical preferences, or age. Research shows that group percussion has physical benefits including sustained physical activity, relaxation, and refinement of fine motor skills. Drumming is also great for stimulating social and emotional development by promoting relaxation, communication, and a sense of belonging to the community.

Best of all drumming requires no previous musical background or training, making it accessible to virtually everyone. Join a class today and feel the beat!
