HistorySince 2008, we've been serving the communities of Chicago by offering private music instruction for individuals who play guitar and drum set. The Gallagher School of Guitar & Drums was started by Dave Gallagher and Jamie Gallagher, who are brothers, professional musicians, and long-standing teaching artists. We've come to value a high standard of music education- a process that cultivates a learning experience for students where practice efforts and resourcefulness yields actual playing ability for them on their instruments. In September of 2014, the Gallagher School relocated to Chicago's West Loop neighborhood. We look forward to helping and guiding more music students in Chicago!SpecialtiesAt the Gallagher School of Guitar & Drums, we provide one-to-one private guitar and drum lessons, and serve as mentors for guiding and connecting individuals through an authentic music education experience.
