Founded by four native Chicagoan siblings, Evan, Kalli, Tommy and Alex Bravos, BravoStudio is a labor of love which stems from our mutual passion for, and dedication to a life of music. Its power to heal and strengthen, and ability to bring and hold us together through the best and most trying of times, has been undeniable. Growing up in an extremely musical household in St. Charles, IL, we are committed to offering a holistic approach of sharing the gift of music in the greater Chicago area…and virtually anywhere. With the “fab four” now living on the north side of Chicago (mere blocks from where our maternal grandmother grew up), we are very excited to be launching this endeavor.
Student-centered teaching: Teacher-centered business. We take care of scheduling and operations so our teachers and students can do what they do best: teaching and learning.
More than any other teaching studio in the greater Chicago area, we are committed to taking care of our teachers. Every single one of our teachers take home a majority share of the fee they earn through our company.
