An update that’s more than a status update. Click to read about what’s next for Tuned & Brave.

"The rest is still unwritten…” The conundrum of how to write this update has kept me from it. If you haven’t heard this from me, it’s because we haven’t sung together in a while. Let’s just skip to the headline: Tuned & Brave Vocal Studio is coming to a close (at least for now). Now some...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Turnbow’s! Thankful for another year of pushing singers to be the best version of themselves. I hope your holidays have been wonderful and spent with those you love.

Swipe to see Jet practicing (with Melody’s dad) to be the accompanist for future concerts. Watch out , he’s coming for your job.

Scheduling the rest of the semester, so heads up on the barrage of scheduling emails you’re all about to receive! Can you believe it’s almost the end of the year?!

Know what I’m not great at? Content creating. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Know what I’m great at? Teaching and empowering singers. My weekly/biweekly Fall schedule is officially FULL. 🥂
I’m trying to be better about communicating and quite honestly, tooting my own horn so *toot toot*, we’re booked up!

Thanks for all the love! Be patient if you’re on the wait list. I have cancels literally every week and sports/activities/seasons shift and openings happen all the time. And if you have a floating lesson, we will continue to communicate a few weeks at a time.

Maybe I’ll post again soon, maybe I won’t. But here’s a low quality picture of my new high quality keyboard for the studio. 😘

Working on the big scheduling puzzle now. If you’ve already filled out the form, you’ll be hearing from me soon!

08/02/2024

Happy Friday! If you’re a returning student, fill this out to request weekly/bi-weekly lessons this fall!

*Filling out the form does not guarantee a spot on the schedule.*

I will be teaching at full capacity this fall, but will also have a ‘cancellation contact list’, so that when openings in the schedule occur, those on the list can take the open spots. Hopefully, this will insure everyone gets the time they need in the studio.

Give me the details on what works and what doesn’t for your schedule this season. Regular weekly lessons will start the week of *August 12-16*. (This form is for returning studio members ONLY. Please do not forward this link to any new students. Point them to my New Student Form instead.)

Head’s up, sign up for Fall Semester lesson times coming early next week! Watch your email, texts, and here for the link. This is for returning students ONLY. New students can fill out an interest form here:

Interested in finding your voice? Fill out the info below. If under 18, please fill out with guardian.

A series of (mostly) fuzzy pics to sum up June! It’s a game of ‘Where’s Melody?’ in some of these, as I’m STILL the height of most campers. 😅

Musical Theater Camps are some of my favorite weeks of the summer. This year, I got to put on my choreographer hat for Little Mermaid Jr, and music direct Finding Nemo Kids. I made new friends, got to hang out with studio members on the daily, and just have fun making theater magic.

I’m back in the studio! Teaching limited hours Mon, Wed, Thu afternoons, so if you want to get some reps in before Fall semester starts, get a spot asap! I’ve been onboarding new students and Y’ALL, I’m so excited about this year.

Back to regularly scheduled programming.
Stay tuned….and brave. 💙🎙️🎶

2nd annual Sunset Concert was a roaring success. We ignored the sprinkles under the pavilion, still had a huge crowd, and every singer was brave beyond compare.

And I REMEMBERED TO GET A GROUP PICTURE. Well, ❤️ found 📸 .too.extra to remember to get a group picture. Thanks, William! Still not over some of these shots!
Including this one of , our industry singer for the evening. Showing us all how to show up. (He also somehow missed the group picture, but this one is much cooler!)

I laughed at the last pic when I first saw it, but then realized it’s perfect. I’m totally enraptured by each of you. I’m on the edge of my seat watching you grow. I can’t wait to see how you out-do yourself tomorrow. You’re magic. Don’t stop now.

Stay Tuned & Brave

A big belated CONGRATULATIONS to studio seniors .obrien and .e.luker for not only rocking their senior showcase, but surviving High School!
To say ‘I’m proud of you’ always feels insufficient, but it also sums it up.

I’m proud of you. I’m proud of how hard you worked to conquer your fears. I’m proud of you for finding your sound, even when it wasn’t what you expected. I’m proud of you for showing up, even if life got messy. And I’m oh, so proud of what amazing young adults you are.

That’s the best part of my job, ya know. Getting to know the nuts and bolts of your voices is fun and all, but I genuinely love spending time with my studio humans. Pretty sure my job is the best.

So, congrats. I’m proud. Come see me (that goes for all my alumni). I definitely miss you.

Love,
Your Tuned & Brave Voice Mom

P.S. yes, I’ll post more pics from the Sunset Concert. Eventually. 🤷🏼‍♀️
