In spring of 2010, we were living in Fort Smith, AR where I offered to teach a history of music class for a local homeschool co-op at the request of some of the families. It was a lot of fun, and it got me thinking about the need for music education among homeschoolers. After completing my graduate work in 2011, I took a short break from research and writing. Then I set out on something I had needed to do for years, write out a personal philosophy of music. This later became The Tuned In Musician. This led to a personal certainty that we had to find a way to serve the community more, and better, through teaching music and making it available to everyone.
