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.

attention they need to accelerate their skills on piano, guitar, drums, voice, and more—guided by experienced instructors
who adapt every session to maximize growth.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT More time to learn. More time to grow.
Private lessons offer focused, distraction-free learning where your child is the only priority. Our studios create a comfortable, professional space where students can take risks, ask questions, and dive deep into their instrument. Without group dynamics, shy students open up and advanced students push harder—every minute is dedicated solely to their progress.
IN PERSON TEACHER Music is meant to be experienced.
One-on-one instruction means your child gets a mentor, not just a teacher. Our instructors build genuine relationships with private students, understanding their unique learning style, musical tastes, and personal goals. This connection allows for real-time adjustments, immediate feedback, and personalized coaching that accelerates progress faster than any other format.
TECHNOLOGY Kids thrive when they learn together.
Twelve Tone's integrated platform keeps everyone connected between lessons. Parents track progress, students access practice tools, and instructors document growth—all in one place. Lesson notes, assignments, and recordings ensure learning continues at home, while our scheduling system makes booking and makeups effortless for busy families.

Guitar Lab isn't just about technique—it's about turning kids into real musicians.

Our small group setting creates natural accountability: when you're preparing to jam with your classmates, you actually want to practice.
