We started at Lake Cook Music Studio with our 7-yr old almost a year ago and we are very happy with our experience. Mr. Will is a wonderful teacher and works especially well with young children starting their musical journey. I have seen tremendous progress in my son and he looks forward to his piano lessons every week. In addition to the lessons, events like recitals, summer concert, halloween party etc. make it a fun learning experience. I highly recommend Mr. Will and Lake Cook Music Studio....more

We're loving the Lake Cook Music Studio! My daughter is in her 2nd year and it's been fantastic. Previously she was in online class, we were looking for keyboard class in and around Buffalo Grove. We switched to in-person class and it made a huge difference. Teacher William is amazing, patient, knowledgeable and great with kids. Highly recommend for Piano, Keyboard, Drum or any instrument!...more

My two kids are taking lessons with Will at Lake Cook Music, and they love their class time. We don’t always meet our target for practice at home, but Will is always encouraging and patient.

Lake Cook Music Studio is a great place to learn piano in a very friendly, low stress environment for kids and adults alike. As a recently retired adult student, Lake Cook welcomed me in and let me learn piano at my own pace. Will Gerdes tailors his practice plans to each student's abilities and interests. He makes learning fun and yet is very instructive. Whether you're brand new to the piano or a seasoned player, Will has the skill set to expand your playing ability. I highly recommend Lake Cook Music Studio....more

We are lucky to find William as my son’s piano teacher. My son had learned piano in other places for a year but I didn’t see much progress. 2 months after switching to William, he started playing his favorite song in full. William knows how to set targets and teaches many techniques, so my son can effectively practice at home....more

William Gerdes is a great piano teacher with decades of piano teaching experience. Not all the teachers can teach to all ages but William Gerdes is great in teaching piano to young as well as to adults . My both kids love his class . William is very patient, creative and have a pleasant temperament which made it so easy for my kids to learn piano over the zoom during the pandemic. Newly remodeled studio has also enhanced the overall learning for my kids as it provides calm, quite and right ambience to focus and learn piano ....more
