“A hidden gem in Highland Park. Honest, top-of-the-line service. Frank and George are the best! It's more than an hour each way to get my guitars worked over. Yes, it's worth it.“

“One of our neighbors recommended Picardy, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! Ms. Cheng is gentle, firm, encouraging, challenging, and understanding all at the same time. She brings professionalism to piano lessons while also making it very fun. I would highly recommend talking lessons at Picardy Piano Studio“

“The Music Conservatory of Illinois is a fantastic place to work hard and learn lots! Signing up for lessons is easy to do and the operation moves smoothly.“

“Westley is professional, insightful, compassionate, and encouraging. I began taking piano lessons with them almost one year ago as an adult learning (almost) from scratch. Having not played an instrument since clarinet in high school, I was initially nervous about picking up an instrument as an adult. Piano has since become a very meaningful part of my life with Westley cheering me on from day one. Westley is passionate about teaching music and offers a tailored approach that makes most sense for you. Whether you are looking to involve your child in lessons, and adult who has been playing for years, or and adult who is just starting out like me, I would highly recommend their studio.“

“Incredibly helpful and friendly. The staff are very knowledgeable and we got assistance on short notice on a Saturday afternoon and it was just what we needed! We’re planning to purchase instruments here in the future!“

“Cecilia is an amazing pianist and is great with children. My son lights up when he plays piano with Cecilia. She gives him so much confidence. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher!“

“On Friday, I started looking for a local professional piano tuner and cleaner. After a quick Google search, I found the Mount Prospect-based Key Tone Piano Services. From the moment I called, John was very friendly, and we scheduled an appointment for yesterday.Prior to showing up, John called me ahead of time to let give me a heads up. When he showed up, he wore a mask and took appropriate COVID-19 precautions. From there, he took a few pieces off the piano and I left him to it.This was probably the second time in our piano's lifespan that it had ever been tuned, and the previous owners didn't use it much, so there was a lot to do. This wasn't a problem for Key Tone Piano Services as John adjusted a misaligned key, tightened the strings as needed, and removed adhesive from labels previously placed on the keys.John finished his piano tuning work in roughly four hours (probably longer than the standard since it was so out of tune). When he was finished, he also took some time to educate me on piano tuning and cleaning best practices. Out of curiosity, he even looked up the model and found that our piano is from the 1940's.Today, he followed up with a quick email, highlighting his warranty policy along with a few remaining tips to set us up for success moving forward. Overall, John Dukes was extremely professional and skilled at his work. I very much look forward to working with him and Key Tone Piano Services again next year.“
