Real Progress More time to learn. More time to grow.
With 60-minute Labs, students have the space to truly understand concepts, practice skills, and make real progress each week. Parents love that learning feels deeper, less rushed, and more rewarding than traditional short lessons.
Making Music Fun Music is meant to be experienced.
Labs go beyond exercises and worksheets—students actively play music together, build performance skills, and gain confidence through real musical moments. It’s the fastest way to turn learning into lasting ability.
Community Kids thrive when they learn together.
Learning alongside peers creates motivation, accountability, and excitement. Students encourage each other, build friendships, and develop the social confidence that comes from being part of something bigger than a lesson.
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.

Twelve Tone Labs
Learn together in guided group music lessons
BUILD STRONG MUSICAL FOUNDATIONS
Labs are collaborative group music lessons where students build essential musical skills alongside peers at a similar level. Learning in a group setting encourages stronger listening, improved rhythm, and increased confidence while maintaining a supportive and structured environment led by experienced instructors. Students benefit from shared momentum, peer inspiration, and consistent guidance that reinforces musical fundamentals week after week.
Performance-based, hands-on music education
DISCOVER YOUR SOUND
Each Lab focuses on active music-making rather than passive learning. Students play together, experiment creatively, and develop musical communication skills through real-time collaboration and guided exercises. Our instructors use multi-sensory teaching methods and personalized feedback to help students grow technically while gaining confidence in their own musical voice.
Longer sessions that encourage confidence and creativity
GROW THROUGH COLLABORATION
Labs are ideal for students who thrive in social and engaging learning environments. With extended session times and an emphasis on collaboration and performance, students have the space to explore ideas, refine their skills, and build confidence naturally. Over time, this shared experience helps students stay motivated, develop consistency, and feel connected to a vibrant musical community at Twelve Tone Music School.
PIANO LESSONS FOR KIDS
PIANO LESSONS FOR KIDS
Traditional piano lessons can feel isolating—just a student, a teacher, and endless scales. Piano Lab changes everything. Our innovative group format combines expert instruction with collaborative learning, where students inspire each other and build skills together. Kids stay engaged, motivated, and actually excited to practice because they're working toward jam sessions with their peers, not just recitals for their parents.
GROUP PIANO CLASSES
MORE THAN JUST NOTES ON A PAGE
Piano Lab students don't just learn to read music—they learn to make music. Our curriculum balances technique and theory with improvisation, chord progressions, and playing by ear. Whether your child dreams of classical performance or wants to play their favorite songs, our experienced instructors meet them where they are and guide them toward real musical fluency, not just mechanical repetition.

DRUM LESSONS FOR KIDS
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
There's nothing like the energy of a kid behind a drum kit. Drum Lab channels that excitement into real musical growth, teaching students proper technique, timing, and dynamics from day one. Our group format keeps the energy high—kids feed off each other's progress and push themselves harder than they would alone. It's structured enough to build solid fundamentals, but fun enough that practice never feels like a chore.
GROUP DRUM CLASSES
MORE THAN JUST KEEPING A BEAT
Drum Lab students learn to be the backbone of any band. Beyond sticks and snares, our curriculum covers reading rhythms, playing to a click, dynamics, and the musicality that separates drummers from percussionists. Students develop independence between hands and feet while learning genres from rock and pop to jazz and funk. When they're ready, they join our band program and experience what it's really like to drive a song.
