About us
Noise Town started in 2023 with the hope of offering unique resources and services to the music community of Tulsa. What originally started as rehearsal spaces has expanded into private instruction, both traditional (guitar, bass) and less traditional (home recording techniques, songwriting), all ages concerts, workshops, comedy and poetry nights. The operating mantra of the business has become ‘What do I wish I had access to as a young developing musician’.
Looking forward Noise Town hopes to continue to expand the services it offers and to better serve the economically disadvantaged through private instruction scholarships and sponsored workshops.
