In short

The Chicago School of Violin Making in Skokie, Illinois, offers a full-time, three-year course that prepares graduates for a career in violin making and repair. Students build at least seven instruments of the violin family, including two violins and a viola, study varnish, set-up, maintenance and repair, and take private lessons and string ensemble sessions. The school began in 1975 with master violin maker Tschu Ho Lee, trained in Mittenwald, and is now a non-profit approved by the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
