The Tuned In Academy was awarded Best Music Instruction, Best of South Sound 2019! It is affirming to us to be voted best in the category of instruction since that is central to our mission, to train students of all ages to create music with excellence and to see its greatest value not in the music itself, but in how it can serve others. Teaching and training students of all ages to make beautiful music is what we are here to do, and we are so thankful to our staff of teachers and admin that all play such a key role in making that possible. And thank you to our students and TIA family that voted!
We love homeschool families at TIA. In fact, we are the only academy of music that I know of that has three faculty that have been homeschooled for their entire lives! What is cooler than that? Your child can be mentored by one of three highly capable, qualified, friendly, and fun student or associate faculty that knows what it is like to be a homeschooler!
Del Fandrich loves and appreciates music education, especially for young people. He has been serving The Tuned In Academy for quite some time now, and supporting our mission through his service.
Micaiah is a skilled and active singer/songwriter working all around the Northwest. Homeschooled for most of her life by her incredible mother, she was able to devote most of her additional time to chasing her dreams and gathering as much musical knowledge as she could. She formed a few bands in high school, performed at Disney Hall through the West Valley Youth Orchestra, won a competition that awarded her studio time with a major musician, and even had a few paying gigs before she was even 16. Micaiah is our newest associate faculty member and is enrolling private students now for violin, guitar, piano, and ukulele.
Developing different tools and sounds can be an incredible asset and a lot of fun to develop. And remember, they never take away from who you are. In fact, I would argue, they make you a better musician, one that doesn’t just have one sound, but one that uses a variety of sounds.
The NFMC Festivals Program is designed to give Junior (age 18 and younger) and Adult member musicians of all abilities the opportunity to present and receive a yearly evaluation in a non-competitive environment. Participation in NFMC Festivals promotes music study, stimulates interest in the musical literature of both the USA and the world, and encourages each participant to reach a high standard of musical achievement. The NFMC Festivals Cup Award Plan and Honor Certificates offer additional incentives to encourage continued participation in NFMC Festivals.

We care about the music, deeply. And technique matters, but primarily as a means to better music. More importantly however, we care about our students. We want all of our students to find joy, wonder, and fun in music, not drudgery and misery.
