WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US

“My boys came home very inspired watching Sean-David play his blue LED lit digital trumpet at The Tuned In Academy today. Did I really just promise them a digital synthesizer instrument if they take music seriously and learn to read and play music well? I’m excited to see them inspired! Aaron was playing the Star Wars theme song on the piano today! Thanks Sean-David!”

“Our son is in the Rhythm and Recorder class. He is loving it! Great communication by the teacher too so we know what to practice at home. I would highly recommend them”

Sean-David was a serious student while in High School and was involved heavily in his own music practice and study. After graduation, he returned from college several times during each school year and stopped by the band room to help and encourage younger players, sharing insights that he had learned at school and demonstrating / modeling traditional and contemporary jazz performance techniques. More importantly, Sean-David is a man of high personal integrity and character. He is constantly seeking ways to improve the lives of others around him and has dedicated his life to that end. In him I see a really strong work ethic, a strong commitment to his family, and a joy in teaching and helping others to succeed. I have remained in contact with Sean-David over the past 16 or so years since he left High School. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.”

Sean-David was a key member of our organization, both as a performer and a staff member. Musically, his talents cover a wide range of styles and instruments. His abilities to arrange, conduct, rehearse and perform are among the best that I’ve worked with in over 30 years as a musician. Sean-David also has a keen sense of the performers he’s working with and has the ability to inspire them to excel on challenging pieces. As a staff member he organized all aspects of performances, including transportation, food, lodging and security of equipment. His ability to anticipate the unexpected was key to insuring our events were stellar from start to finish.”

My boys (ages 15 and 7) had Eric Graf for their guitar instructor. He's absolutely amazing! He's knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and patient with the kids. He also makes learning the guitar so much fun! My boys truly enjoyed Eric as their guitar instructor and have grown so much in the skill of playing the electric and acoustic. We take a break for the summer but looking forward to hopefully lessons again in the fall with Eric. I highly recommend guitar for any age, with Eric Graf, at The Tuned In Academy. Tara Knight
