Tritone Music School is different from other musical institutions and music stores. We have developed our own method book to teach how to gain a more personal and joyous relationship with music and your instrument.   At most teaching institutions, teachers are left to their own devices, and there is no continuity to their methods across the student base.  At Tritone,  teachers learn the book and teach from it, and contribute their ideas for the future editions as a part of team. Our goal is not to just teach how to read notes on a page, but to teach better musicianship skills, and bring joy and fulfillment back to music. Please visit the bio page of our founder, Chieko Garling, to learn more about our philosophy and teaching goal.

 We are professional musicians who live in Arlington Heights. For many years, we have been performing, recording and teaching all over the Chicago area and the world at venues from music clubs, to schools, to large concert halls. Through our experiences, we feel that we have developed a unique approach and philosophy to teaching music, and we enjoy sharing that approach with our students! We hope we will see you at our school!
