MUSIC BUILDING CHICAGO

(formerly Music Garage)

Professional Music Rehearsal Space

Testimonials

“The Music Garage is hands down, the best rehearsal facility in Chicago, or the entire Midwest for that matter!!”

“The Music Garage was great….truly a professional rehearsal studio.”

The Music Garage has been my go to rehearsal spot since around 2009. The rehearsal spaces at MG are always clean, technically sound and the staff is the best around. The showcase room at MG is hands down my favorite room to rehearse my team at. We’ve done band rehearsals, choir rehearsals, full show run throughs and even talent tryouts in the showcase room. Aside from this, the Music Garage building is one of the most important places in the Chicago music scene. It is always full of talented musicians working on their craft, the place has a great vibe!

I want to Thank Jim and his whole crew for the time and effort I would highly recommend the Music Garage to anyone.
