The Tuned In Academy

Our Instructors

Student Teacher Angelia MC's our Summer Presentation in Olympia

Our Musician-Educators are educated, experienced, and enthusiastic. With Tuned In you can rest assured that you are receiving top quality education from musicians that have been formally educated in music, and more specifically in their specialties of music theory, composition, songwriting and lyric writing, and improvisation. These musician-educators have vast experience in both music—they are capable, qualified, able to teach well, and love music and people.

At Tuned In, we don’t just have musicians that teach music lessons, or teachers that play music. Conservatory trained musician-educators, or individuals who have been directly trained by one of us teach all of our classes and private music lessons. All regular and master faculty have been trained in the art of music in conservatory, and have devoted their lives not just to making music, but teaching it. They teach not because they have to, but because they love and want to.

TIA is also NOT just a studio. We are not just a handful of teachers teaching under one building. TIA is an academy, a team, and held together by a common mission and set of values. In fact, all TIA faculty go through a careful process that involves personal vetting, a one on one interview with the director, a group interview with other TIA faculty, an audition, reference checks confirming their values, commitment to excellence, musical and teaching skills, and time in front of students. You likely won’t find this anywhere else in town, and, we can gaurantee you will notice the TIA difference in your experience!
