What is InTune?

Every issue of In Tune seeks to present content about a broad array of music subjects explaining in simple terms how music and the music industries work. Because there are so many subjects to address, each offering tends to be limited, attempting to serve as a jumping off point for further and independent study.

Every issue of In Tune seeks to offer a balance of subject matter as well, between levels of sophistication in our copy, to the coverage of musical genres, instruments and equipment, theory and technique, music creation, technology and recording, rights, music media, higher music education and careers, and so much more. The idea is to engage students and advance the idea that there can be vocational and avocational opportunities in music over a lifetime, and that their discovery can be rewarding. Ultimately, In Tune seeks to promote continued music education and suggest to students that they can be involved with music as singers, instrument players, listeners, creators and businesspeople.
