Greg Sarchet teaches at Northeastern Illinois University. NEIU is centrally-located in Chicago and is the most economically viable option in the area, in state-of-the-art facilities with faculty from the Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera of Chicago. Email for more details. Private lessons/coachings are also available.
An ideal and immediate playing opportunity can be had by participating in The Classical Symphony Orchestra

Petia Bagovska lives in Chicago now. Coaching with her would be invaluable. She is a former Petracchi student, and seasoned recitalist.
I have to highly recommend Tim Schaffer of Grant Park for private studies.
Jason Heath is highly recommended--he teaches at the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater.
