Greetings from Tom and Chieko!

At the Ravenia Frank Sinatra Jr concert

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!  (Read more about our goals Here)

Tritone Piano Method

---

​Tritone Music School proudly uses our own unique method books, which has been developed by Chieko and Tom Garling along with other teachers who have been delivering lessons at our school. This method teaches students to make the connection between the pitches (what you hear) and the theory (what you know). As a result, reading and memorizing becomes easier, and music becomes much more personal, joyful and fulfilling. This skill makes the possibilities endless. Many of our students are good composers/arrangers! Please contact us for more details.

Studio A : Guitar Studio

​Our school is located on "Music & Art Row" (Arthur Ave) in Arlington Heights- the boarder line of Mount Prospect and Arlington Heights. 
Our building is conveniently located close to Mount Prospect, Palatine, Elk Grove Village, Prospect Heights, Schaumburg,  Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, Des Plaines, and Hoffman Estates. Please refer us to your friends who live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, and we hope to see you there!
