Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar Classical Guitar Acoustic Guitar
For beginners at the start of the lessons, I usually get the know each student. Why would they like to learn? and What would they like to learn on guitar?; in order to make some reachable goals! Some will prefer to learn how to just physically play the guitar, and others may want a little more in depth understanding about the theory behind it and how to read music. When it comes to children, I believe the best way to keep them engaged and wanting to learn more is by making these lessons as fun as possible, while keeping nice and easy. Read More

The moment when a students finally understands a difficult concept, succeeds at a performance, masters a new technique, or has an amazing breakthrough is why I teach. I love to see the joy in the students faces and see how proud they are when they accomplish the tasks at hand. I like to reward and acknowledge successes because a student who feels successful has a higher chance of being successful. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Electric Guitar
I would teach my students the basic notes of guitar reading. Once I have fully got my students into guitar reading notes I would then teach them the principals of chord structure and reading chord structure. I would also have them make a plan of what type of song each student would be into and how each and every one of them are going to apply it when playing it. Read More
Instruments: Piano Music Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Faber Essential Elements. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce solo repertoire appropriate for their first recital performance. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level. Selecting the best piano teaching method can be a daunting task. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Viola Saxophone
My experience with teaching began in high school, when I taught piano and choir at the pre-k level with a local community group. It was there that I fell in love with helping students learn. Since then, I have privately coached voice and piano, and helped students prepare for auditions or solos. Nothing is more amazing than watching someone achieve their goals and loving every step of the process! Read More
Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Harp
Hello! My name is Tia J. and I am a professional music educator. I first discovered my passion for music when I started playing the harp at 7 years old and fell in love with teaching in 2006 when I first started teaching private music lessons. My priorities as a teacher revolve around tailoring instruction to help students achieve their individual goals, whether they are personal goals and/or closely tied to educational/ career goals.

Instruments: Violin
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Yes! My family inspired me! More precisely, my two brothers inspired me! It made me beam with excitement to listen to them play their saxophone and trumpet in middle school and when they came home from practice I felt honored to reach up for their mouthpiece and take a try! My parents upon suggestion from my brother brought home a violin one day and badda bing badda boom—I began.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I chose my instrument simply because I was entirely enamored with the creative force speaking through my older brothers when they played their saxophone and their trumpet. I was 3 and a half when I began playing so I chose the violin due to limited access to an instrument that I could actually begin at such a young age due to my physical size! It was for me either the piano or violin and I chose the violin! I later fell in love with the cello however never began it! Some of my good friends play this beautiful instrument so I am able to enjoy it vicariously through them!
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Playing in the Concertebouw Concert Hall in Amsterdam was a highlight as well as with The Cleveland Orchestra! Growing up in a family of music lovers and then moving away to Cleveland and eventually Boston, I was really excited to study with Doald Weilerstein at the New England Conservatory where my first investigations of the inner depths of music and what it meant to be a person began to erupt loudly and sensually. I developed a passion for yoga and Eastern religions and investigated simply out of passion brilliant writers of psychology, philosophy and political philosophy! I love playing chamber music and had a really wonderful time crafting my own quartet time out as well and participating in chamber music adventures like the Masterclass with the Takacs Quartet at Carnegie Hall as well as explorations for and beyond chamber music into life itself at places like Marlboro and Yellow Barn both creatively gifted nooks dedicated to the art of chamber music in the Western Classical Tradition located in tiny towns of Vermont.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have spent most of my lifetime soloing that I have not had time to teach privately but one student here and there and yet have been a guest artist for many masterclasses and have given as much as possible to people through lecture programs and Various educational outreach venues! I have had a lot of fun doing this and sharing the gift of music in this special way! I know that for me, masterclasses are a wonderful way into a world of an artist that one does not know and in order to learn how they developed as an artist and their particular teaching methods, sometimes a masterclass gives what a private lesson cannot ... well always.. in that it is a basic sketch of the artist and their exstensive musical background and utilization of their brain in a frame of a moment.
