As early as 500 BC, music was considered a science just as math was. Therefore, Toones wants to renew this tradition by involving the entire math learning process. For more information about music as a science, please visit: Science of Music. Music and math share a unison of many dynamics such as numeric values, patterns, and fundamental math concepts. Music bridges the gap between the preconception that math is boring and difficult to the reality that math is fun and easy.

We advocate at least two classes per week for significant improvements in the child's progress and ultimate success.

Toones Academic Music is a non-profit organization, TAM strives to keep its services at a very reasonable prices.

Private music lessons help to understand music notation and focus on the artistic value of the music such as in the form of periodical performances (i.e., recitals). Toones lessons are different in that they focus on stimulating the student's intellectual thought processes. So if balance between these two types of lessons is your intent, then we recommend at least 2 TAM classes per week to start.

Music theory encompasses the ways in which to understand music and the science behind it all. Toones uses music theory for a better explanation of math.
