Our Community Event Sponsors help bring the party to life.

From the setup to the little details that make the night feel special, their support helps create an atmosphere where music, energy, and community all come together. Because of them, our students have a place on the stage to share their talents and be part of a night full of excitement and pride.

We are so grateful for the businesses and individuals who chose to support TUNES at this level. You are helping create a night our community looks forward to all year.๐ŸŽถ

Donation day! I love going out in the city of Charlevoix and telling businesses all about TUNES. These are just a small handful of the mainland businesses that continue to support our annual fundraiser raffles, year after year.

If youโ€™re visiting Charlevoix, please consider supporting these awesome businesses that see value in the work weโ€™re doing with the young musicians of Beaver Island! ๐ŸŽถ

Sometimes you just have to set the fiddles down and let the music take over ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐ŸŽป

Our advanced fiddle class did exactly that, taking a break to dance along to Miss Rubyโ€™s fiddlinโ€™ and it was pure joy.

We are so excited and incredibly grateful to share that TUNES Music Makers has been awarded a 2026 Arts and Culture Grant from Charlevoix County Community Foundation. This means Ruby John will be returning for another fiddle residency during the 2026โ€“2027 school year.

What a gift this is for these kids and what a commitment from Ruby to travel back and forth to Beaver Island to keep this music alive and growing. We feel so lucky to have her as part of our TUNES family ๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŽถ
