The Musical Arts Institute was incorporated January, 2010. The founder and Executive Director is bassist and music educator, Michael Manson. Having enjoyed 35 years of career success with artists such as George Duke, Al Jareau, Kirk Whallum, and many others, Mike felt a need to give back to his Chicago home where role models were not accessible for many of our youth.
Working together with co-founder and Co-Executive Director, Lana Manson, the couple has organized an amazing team of professional musicians/educators to provide outstanding music instruction in Chicago's under served areas.
