A typical lesson might include rhythm exercises, reading exercises, correct

posture and how to hold your instrument the right way.  Here are some more

specifics by instrument:

PIANO

Students begin playing on the black keys, learning the fingerings of familiar tunes and developing their rhythmic understanding before moving on to playing in different positions on the white keys while learning note names and reading music notation.

GUITAR

With In Tune’s own Play Guitar! curriculum, students start with basic chords and strumming patterns, learn how to read chord charts and tab, and soon move on to reading music notation, all while tackling classic songs along with their favorites.

UKELELE

With In Tune’s own Play Ukulele! curriculum, students start with basic chords and strumming patterns, learn how to read chord charts and tab, while learning to sing their favorite songs.

BASS

Students learn to read tab and music notation while mastering bass lines, chord arpeggios, while learning classic and new songs.

DRUMS

Beginning students start with rhythmic studies using hands only, before moving on to the full drum set.  Students learn to read music notation while tackling their favorite songs.

VOICE

Proper warm up and care of the voice is stressed in these lessons, where students learn how to develop proper pitch and timbre while developing their tonality, range and strength.

STRINGS

The ability to fluidly play with good bow and fingerboard technique, while producing a beautiful tone, is the cornerstone of our violin, viola and cello lessons.

WOODWIND

Proper embouchure, breathing, and tone production is stressed here as students learn their scales, develop their range and learn songs and build their repertoire.

A positive and productive way to learn!
More than 50 years ago, Dr. Shinichi Suzuki realized the implications of

children learning their native language with ease and how children might learn to play music in the same way. In Tune is proud to offer violin an guitar lessons from teachers specialized in the Suzuki method.
