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 $115 monthly for a half hour (weekly) lesson with Daniel.

“Don’t ever think that music lessons or the study of music is only for those who want to pursue classical music or jazz music, or only those who want to pursue music study in college and career. There’s so many people for whom music is deeply meaningful, it’s a source of fun, Joy, community, and that music impacts them in a major way and even if they don’t do music as their primary thing as an adult, it’s still an important and meaningful part of their life. And most of those people will also tell you that they wouldn’t be where they are today if it weren’t for music.
One of the young men I met in the Army, was I believe either a truck driver or a mechanic when I first met him. But he loved to play the drums, and he was very capable. He learned and played all the way through high school, and he worked hard and was able to eventually transition to become an Army bandsman and play drums in the Army Band. He eventually transitioned out of the Army and entered civilian life and went a non-musical career path, but, he plays in the Blue Thunder Drum line every year and lays down killer grooves, and he loves it and has a ton of fun. All because music!”
