A tuning practice through improvisational sound.
Tune U offers a way to listen, feel, and respond
more clearly using simple
improvisational music practices.
No fixing.
No performance.
No pressure to be anywhere other than where you are.
What this is
Tune U is not therapy, not traditional music training, and not a productivity system.
It’s a practice for people who sense that something important has been trying to get their attention, and want a reliable way to listen before reacting, overriding, or pushing through.
The work unfolds over time and meets people differently depending on their life context, capacity, and needs.
Ways to enter the work
There is no single correct starting point.
People begin where their lives can support them.
Some people begin with a short, self‑guided practice. Others enter through an instrument. All paths lead into the same listening orientation.
This practice stands on its own, and connects to a larger listening ecosystem if and when you’re curious.
Starter practice
A short, self guided introduction
A simple way to listen through sound and notice what happens, without committing to anything beyond your own attention.
Instrument Doorways
Listening through an instrument
Some people listen best through harmony.
Others through rhythm and pulse.
Piano — harmony, gravity, and choice
Drums — rhythm, timing, and staying with time as it moves
No prior musical experience is required.
Private 1:1 Work
Individual accompaniment
For adults and young people who want a more personal pace, privacy, or support during a period of transition.
This work is shaped around your context and capacity, not a predetermined arc.
What unites all of it
Across all formats, the practice is the same.
Listening before reacting.
Staying with experience as it unfolds.
Making small, conscious choices and hearing their impact.
Sound offers a direct way into this conversation, especially when words arrive too late or don’t quite reach what’s happening.
Who This Tends to Resonate With
This work often resonates with people who:
• are in transition or uncertainty
• have done inner work and want something more embodied
• sense a pull toward listening rather than forcing
• want a practice that can meet real life as it is
It may not be the right fit if you’re looking for certainty without engagement, or outcomes without participation.

You don’t need to decide anything now.
But if something here has been tapping on your awareness, quietly or insistently, listening and attuning to it is often gentler than continuing to wait.
