The Musical Arts Institute is a nonprofit, community-minded organization that provides exceptional Music training taught by a staff of highly qualified instructors. The heart of MAI’s mission is to offer solutions for children in underserved communities and areas where music lessons are unavailable and/or unaffordable.
March 2010, we opened the doors to our primary location on Chicago’s south-side for the purpose of providing superior Music instruction. Within less than one year, we have enrolled 130 students taught by 14 music professionals. Along with traditional music training, our unique program offering (private lessons, workshops, off-site learning, and clinics) utilizes an intensive level based curriculum. Included in the course offerings are private and group studies in voice, piano, string instruments, percussion, and wind instruments.
