The Fine Tune Academy is the only Music School to have won every North County Battle of the Bands competition.

Fine Tune Students have the opportunity to perform at many venues across California. Our most recent event was the Encinitas Fall Festival. The Fall Festival is a great bi-annual opportunity for our students and their families to play for the community on a professional stage manned by the FIne Tune Sound crew.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Soak up all the education you can online, generate some questions and some personal goals. Use these questions to vet potential teachers and confirm that your goals align.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Look through your music collection.
What is your most played genre on Spotify? What do you keep playing over and over on TikTok? What Vinyl records would you never part with?
These songs and the artists that create them are going to be the first thing you talk to your teacher about.
We will use the Bands & Artists you are already passionate about as your first door into the world of music.
