“I just wanted to take a minute to let you know how much our family appreciates you and your entire staff. You continue to work hard to offer the best learning experiences for your students as well as a good work environment for your instructors. Since we’ve moved, our drive is at least 30 minutes one way. It is all worth it for having 2 happy kids, learning with positive and talented instructors at a fair price. You and the school are a treasure to the community. Thanks for all you do.”

“I love this Music School. It’s a great asset to the community. If you’re looking for any kind of music lessons check this place out. The instructors are trained professionals. They teach to the interests of my children and focus on correct technical development. The owner, Dale has created a comfortable, welcoming environment. The teachers always greet me and keep me updated on lessons-very impressive. My daughter (age 11) says she has learned more at the Des Plaines School of Music in three lessons than she did all of last year.”

“I’m certain this school will take on the characteristics of its owner Dale Wilson: conscientious, caring, attention to detail, friendly, hard working, talented, sincere, and fun. I commend anyone interested in music studies to study under anything Dale Wilson has to offer. He cares about you, and his lifetime of music studies is working hard for you.”

Ron Hjertstedt

“Dale was a drum teacher to both my sons Alex and Zachary. I can’t say enough about how wonderful an experience it was for my children to work with Dale for the five years the boys were students with him. If they had continued in their respective school bands, they would have continued studying with Dale privately. I highly recommend Dale as both a teacher and an adult you want your children to work with. Please feel free to contact me if you want to talk more about your child taking drum lessons with Dale.”
