What people are Saying
I think private lessons are boring. I like my labs class. Its so fun to work with my teacher and jam. Guitar lab is just fun and I like going.
John
Twelve Tone Student
The labs program truly helped Declan, he wouldn't practice and was uninterested in playing until we found Twelve Tone - its a night and day difference and now he makes sure we never miss a class!
Jasmine
Twelve Tone Parent
Both of my kids love their teachers. We cannot say enough great things about Sandy. She has really inspired our daughter to love to play and practice. The night and day difference in our son's playing after joining a jam class is incredible.

MODERN MUSIC EDUCATION
Twelve Tone was born from founder John Lonergan's frustration with finding quality, engaging music lessons that actually worked. After revolutionizing swim education with Big Blue Swim School, John turned his attention to an industry desperately in need of transformation: music education.
A HUGE STEP FORWARD
The traditional music lesson experience has been chaotic and inaccessible for too long. At Twelve Tone, we've streamlined scheduling, curated exceptional instructors, and built systems that make progress visible and measurable—not mysterious.
MAKING IT FUN & EFFECTIVE
Most importantly, we've proven that music lessons can be accessible, easy to maintain, genuinely enjoyable, and actually effective in building real musical skills.
WE UNDERSTAND PARENTS
We're not done yet, but we're proud of how far we've come in making music education work the way it should: for students, for families, and for the joy of music itself.
