Harmony at the Heart of Beaver Island
TUNES Music Makers provides accessible, high-quality music education and creative opportunities to the Beaver Island community, with a special focus on improving the mental health and well-being of both young people and older adults. By fostering creativity, building confidence, and strengthening social connections across generations, we enrich lives while preserving the islandโs unique musical heritage. Our mission is to ensure that every member of our communityโregardless of age, background, or financial situationโcan experience the transformative power of music as a tool for personal growth, emotional wellness, and cultural continuity.
Music Lessons for Every AgeโWith Youth at the Center
Lessons run inย 12-week sessions. Before each session begins, we review registrations and award scholarships based on need and available funding. To stay true to our mission and serve the community responsibly, we prioritize scholarships forย school-aged students first, followed byย senior citizens, and thenย adults if funding remains.
And in gratitude for their service:ย Veterans receive music lessons at no cost.
If you are interested in lessons, we encourage you to apply under Registration.
