We’ll be revamping this page soon so this material is easier to find, and will be releasing new learning materials as soon as time permits!

Lessons and Instruction
The only thing better than enjoying traditional music as a listener is learning how to do it yourself!
Due to social distancing, nearly all instruction in the world is online right now. If you haven’t taken a lesson online and are anxious, don’t worry. We will help you get set up. TUNE SUPPLY provides online instrumental, vocal, and dance instruction to students of all ages and all levels, from absolute beginner through advanced.
To get started:
If you have any questions, concerns, or need to talk to us before starting lessons, send us an email. We will help.
Click here to place an order for a 30-, 45-, or 60- minute lesson. We’ll ask about your level and what you’d like to learn.
If you’d like to request a certain instructor, you can do that at checkout. Please note that not all of our artists teach. If your preferred instructor is not available, we will refer you to someone equally amazing, or issue a refund - your choice.
Your instructor will be in touch within 48 hours to set up your first lesson. Our instructors can use whichever platform you like (Skype, Google Hangouts, Facebook Live, Zoom, etc.). If you need tech help, we are here for you! Email us.
If you choose to continue taking lessons with your instructor, you can work with them directly, or purchase more lessons through Tune Supply - your choice.
We are here for you every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to reach out of you have questions or concerns. Connecting with and learning from each other will help us get through these tough times.
If you are a school, organization, or parent looking to schedule remote music instruction, please get in touch! We can help.
