WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

“The Tuned In Academy really works with an individual’s interests, instead of trying a cookie cutter approach to learning! This is how learning should take place, fueled by what drives the student to learn, and not by a teachers rigid agenda! Wow! Way to go!”

“My 6 year old daughter has just started taking piano lessons. She loves her teacher.(Which can make all the difference) It is nice that I can come and watch while she is having her lesson. This helps when we’re at home and I’m helping my daughter practice. My daughter is young and has a hard time focusing sometimes, her teacher always gets her to focus in a kind and effective way. Her teacher has worked with us when we have had to change our scheduled lesson. There seems to be a good balance in her lessons between pushing my daughter and knowing when to, step back and go over things a bit slower. It has been a wonderful experience so far and I am excited about seeing my daughter grow up with music and her piano teacher in her life.”

“Jenna thanks so much for the wonderful three years of outstanding voice and piano lessons our 9 year-old granddaughter enjoyed with you. Your lessons were so warm and so delightful that every Friday afternoon became her favorite time of the week! Because you are such an accomplished musician, she learned so much from you, and we saw her voice develop, her poise and confidence greatly increase, and her enjoyment of singing from her heart soared! Our entire family looked forward to the Spring Recital every year. With your kind, gentle ways, you became a wonderful role model for Gracie (and her grandparents!). Anyone who wants to develop musically would be extremely fortunate and blessed to have you for their instructor. When you moved back to the great Northwest, we felt that Fort Smith, Arkansas had lost a wonderfully gifted family. We appreciate you and Sean-David teaching so many how to sing and play any instrument they desired. We wish you the best, and we look forward to hearing about the new work you are starting.”

“I have two daughters taking music lessons at The Tuned In Academy, one is learning guitar and the other cornet. My experience with both instructors has been outstanding. Both girls are making significant progress and both enjoy going to their lessons. Sean-David and Rob are very encouraging to what their students want to learn to play which keeps them more engaged. I have nothing but praise for the entire experience and am so glad I found them. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for music instruction.”

“Our son is heading to Berklee College of Music in Boston as a performance major (guitar) in a couple of weeks. He has been taking voice lessons with Jenna this summer at The Tuned In Academy. Wow! It’s amazing how much his voice has improved, and how much his confidence has increased. He has also had a couple of music theory lessons with SD which have helped tremendously. In addition, they have provided personal insight into the demands of being a music student at Berklee. We couldn’t be happier! We are so lucky to have The Tuned In Academy here in Olympia, Washington and instructors of their caliber available to us.”

“Working with Sean-David and Jenna McGoran really expanded my experience. With their support, teaching and mentoring young flute students was a joy and a privilege. I enjoyed helping students learn and grow in skill and understanding of music. Thanks a bunch guys! Proud to be a part of it.”
