Welcome to a compassionate take on music performance.
Science-backed strategies to overcome performance blocks and play with confidence.
I’m Amanda, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Ever wonder why you can practice and feel prepared, just to have the performance not go to plan? Me, too. Wish you could feel proud of the way you represented yourself in an audition? Same. Find yourself struggling with performance anxiety, imposter syndrome, or just plain practicing? Yep, I’ve sat in the practice room stuck too.
Then I learned how brains work - now I want to help you.
I’m a music teacher - turned - therapist - turned - founder of Tuning In. It’s an organization combining my passion for music with my knowledge of brain science, behavior, and emotional regulation to provide you with proven strategies for mental health and mindset no matter where you are in your music career. Whether you’re an individual musician or represent an institution, let’s work together to make music schools, audition rooms, and performance spaces places we can all feel confident, prepared, and safe to create.
