ACTIVATOR ACADEMY

Activator Academy Music School is one of the largest and most successful community music schools located along Chicago's North Shore.  In partnership with CROYA since 2007, we exclusively serve music students (ages K-Adult) residing in the communities of Lake Forest, Lake Bluff & Knollwood.  Located in the state-of-the-art CROYA Student Union, Activator Academy also manages the operations of Side Door Studios - offering a full service recording studio, rehearsal suites, and a live performance venue with a 300+ seat capacity.

We have an outstanding staff and our programs are proven, affordable, flexible and convenient. Private lessons are available on many instruments including voice, piano, guitar, bass, drums, strings, and trumpet. Rock Band classes are also offered to take players to the next level.  We even have a new GLEE Club!

At Activator Academy, there is no long term contract as students attend on a month-to month basis. Our monthly fee starts at $120/mo. for private lessons (Sept-Jan.), saving parents $600-$1,200 per year compared to nearby music programs.   Want to learn more? Contact us today!
