Happy Monday Everyone! Here at TacTone, lots of changes are underway. We are excited to announce the opening of our West Coast Chapter! While our company will still be based in Boston, two of us will now be working from the opposite side of the country. I recently moved to Los Angeles to continue pursuing an education.

Hi! I’m Eli Trentalange, an education consultant and curriculum developer for the Resonance Bench. Having specialized in neurodivergent music education, this project has been near and dear to my heart due to the barriers these students face accessing traditional music education.

Perhaps you think of joyful dancing around the room, colorful boomwhackers hitting the floor, singing, and learning about the greatest musicians throughout history. As an educator, and as a member of TacTone, I strive to expand upon this understanding of what music class does and should look like.
