About Me

My name is Elise and I'm looking forward to exploring music with you! It is of utmost importance for me to learn what YOU want in your music studies, whether it's learning to play your favorite song, learning to write an original song, or learning to read sheet music. I believe it is my job to encourage you to achieve your personal music goals through structured learning while fostering your love for music. I am a professional songwriter, pianist and arranger. I have degrees in jazz arranging and music therapy and am familiar with not only traditional classical pedagogy, but jazz pop and contemporary music as well.

Elise W.- has over 15 years of music experience in the chicago area.

Elise W.- is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons, Bass Guitar Lessons, Keyboard and Piano Lessons, Vocal Lessons, Song Writing Lessons .


What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

I have developed a 5-step Songwriting method that teaches you to find your voice as a creator and turn it into music. This method is beneficial to seasoned songwriters and beginners alike. We will explore emotional vulnerability, chord structures that make music work, and ways to develop material even when you feel creatively stuck.


What to expect in my Vocal Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

We will create a strong vocal foundation centered around taking care of YOUR voice and singing in a healthy way. It is important to connect with your creativity as a vocalist because you are responsible for telling stories in your music. My vocal lessons are rigorous and extremely fun at the same time.


What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

What makes my teaching different is that I shape my method around the music you love. Most students will become easily bored simply reading out of method books: I want to figure out WHAT you want to play and take you there. Not only will you learn how to read sheet music, but you will discover how to play by ear so you can hear a song on the radio and teach yourself to play it. We will also study creativity on the piano: improvisation and songwriting are essential skills for a pianist---even if you can't imagine yourself being a songwriter!


What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Based on your desired style: you will learn bass lines, theory, and appropriate technique that will enable you to play the music you love. We will go beyond the basics: you will learn to play musically, and how to hear a song and figure out how to play it on your own.
