Why work for Music 1st?

So many reasons, but most importantly because if you care about people and you care deeply about music done right and taught right, Music 1st is the school for you. You should teach for us if you want to be able to focus on teaching, developing meaningful relationships, and the rest of your life, without having to be concerned about advertising, booking students, invoicing, etc. We handle all that. You just teach music well and be a great mentor! Finally, you should teach for us because we know what works and we’ve done it before. Sean-David McGoran (our founder) started The Tuned In Academy in his living room in Lacey about 10 years ago—and they are now a fully established non-profit academy of music with over twenty faculty serving nearly 450 students a week!
