Forest City Music Studio serves Rockford, IL and surrounding areas with quality music education through Kindermusik and private lessons.
Exciting News!
At the end of the year, Forest City Music Studio will be moving to a new location! The move will take place between Christmas and New Year, with classes and lessons starting there in January. We are particularly excited because the new space is being built-out according to our specifications and will be suited to our needs.
The new address is 4160 Newburg Road. It is a storefront on the south end of Colonial Village Mall, just down from Diamond Dave's and Baskin Robbins. It is only 1.2 miles and 3 minutes from our current location. The potential in this location is amazing and we look forward to sharing it with you!
We will have an Open House, at the Newburg location, on Friday, January 9th at 6:00-8:00 p.m. Get it on your calendar now, so you don't forget (that seems like a long time from now!). You will have the opportunity to tour the new space, sign up for door prizes (gift certificates, instruments, etc.), meet our staff (new and old!) and
eat some goodies. See you there!
