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 THOUSANDS 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.
We Live and Work in Glenview, IL
Little Tones builds the foundation for musical success. This engaging group class focuses on the essential building blocks every young musician needs—rhythm, tempo, pitch recognition, and basic music theory—in a fun, pressure-free environment.
