The Tuned In Academy

Private Lessons in Violin or Cello

Conservatory quality private violin, viola, and cello lessons at Tuned In are designed to give you the best overall instruction you need, and to prepare you for what it is that you want to be musically. If you just want to have a lot of fun and play the music you want to play, and learn how do it better, we can help you do that. We will discuss and teach you however about how to look at the music a little more carefully because we believe that music is never just music. Music has meaning, and as musicians, we should all seek to appreciate that better. But if you want to learn how to be prepared for the rigorous auditions of the military bands, scholarship committees, or conservatories—we can do that too. The purpose behind private lessons at TIA is for you to have regular one-on-one personalized instruction, just for you, according to your needs. Private lessons are just $95 monthly for a half hour (weekly) lesson with Daniel.

Private Lessons in Violin with Micaiah (virtual only)

Micaiah Sawyer is a young, talented, actively involved local singer/songwriter that also plays piano, guitar, and violin.

Micaiah has studied guitar, violin, and piano for about 15 years and is currently working all over the PNW as a skilled singer/songwriter. 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 studied music at South Puget Sound Community College, joined an orchestra, and jammed with jazz students, all while beginning her work as a solo artist. Micaiah is fun, energetic, and highly capable as an educator, always practicing and working on learning new techniques and concepts as a musician and committed teacher. As all our team members, she is completely committed to The mission and values that the academy holds, and its purpose is her purpose.
