The Six-String That Ties Cicero Together
Forget the idea of a lonely rockstar learning guitar in a quiet bedroom. In Cicero, the guitar is rarely a solo instrument. It’s a loud, living thing, passed between hands at a family barbecue, its sound weaving through conversations in Spanish and English. The journey of a Cicero guitarist doesn’t begin with a dream of a distant stage, but with the immediate, tangible desire to join the music that’s already happening all around them.
The heartbeat of guitar music here isn't the blues-rock wail you’d expect from being so close to Chicago; it's the rich, rhythmic pulse of a nylon-string guitar. It’s the sound of heritage. For many kids in town, their first guitar hero isn’t on the radio, it's an uncle or a grandfather, their fingers expertly crafting the melodies of norteño or the driving strum of cumbia. This makes learning guitar less about ambition and more about connection, a way of speaking the same language as your family and neighbours.
A Guitarist’s Guide to Cicero’s Resources
The town itself understands this deep-rooted tradition and actively supports it. You can see it in the school system, where the J. Sterling Morton High School District 201 does something remarkable: it doesn’t just offer a generic guitar class, it offers "Beginning Mariachi." This is a powerful acknowledgement that the guitar is a pillar of the local culture. This foundational support continues at Morton College, giving dedicated players a local, accessible place to refine their craft.
Of course, this journey needs a starting point, the instrument itself. That’s where a local store like Lopez Music Centre becomes so crucial. It serves not just as a shop, but as an armoury for the community's musicians, providing the specific acoustic instruments that are the backbone of the town's sound. The goal for a guitarist here is often not a packed concert hall, but a lively gathering at Cicero Community Park or in a backyard.
Ultimately, to pick up a guitar in Cicero is to pick up a piece of your community's identity. It’s an agreement to participate, to add your voice to the chorus, and to use those six strings to tie yourself more tightly to the people and the place you call home.
