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.

๐ป You often ask us, โIs there anything TUNES needs?โ
Thankfully, we often have everything we need to give our young musicians the best advantage to learn. But we finally have a need!
Weโre looking for two 3/4-size Franz Hoffmann Amadeus violins from SHAR Music for two young musicians.
If youโd like to help put a violin into one of these young musiciansโ hands, weโd love to hear from you. Thank you for helping make music possible! ๐

Ruby John makes a difference every time she teaches in our program at Beaver Island Community School. She is warm, encouraging and has a wonderful ability to meet students where they are, adapting to different learning styles and helping each student find their own way into the music.
And you donโt have to be a student at the school to learn with Ruby!
Ruby offers ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ, both in person at the TUNES Studio on Beaver Island and virtually. You can choose one or the other, or combine the two for even more flexibility.
Your lesson schedule can fit your life, too. Take as little as ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ก or learn ๐จ๐ง๐๐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค. Whether youโre brand new to the fiddle or looking to grow as a musician, thereโs a place for you.
