String Music and Piano
Daniel teaches private lessons in violin, beginning cello, and piano
Daniel Boschee, Violin Faculty Daniel completed his undergraduate work at The University of Nebraska—Lincoln in Violin Performance and his Master of Music Degree in Performance from The Sacramento State School of Music. Daniel has been playing the violin for over 16 years, has served as the Concertmaster in the Sacramento State Symphony Orchestra for two years, and has performed at the prestigious Orfeo Music Festival.
Daniel is incredibly passionate about music and in his desire to teach it, having learned music himself in his youth in a non-profit organization not unlike TIA. Daniel has established himself as one of the most sought after violinists and violin teachers in the area and he loves to serve the people of Olympia and the surrounding area in an organization where music matters and makes a difference. Daniel was also the Sacramento State Saturday Club’s String Area winner for 2021 and is an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
As all of our faculty, Daniel has established himself as a charming, fun, highly capable and compassionate music educator that is loved by his students, families, and us!
Violin
Daniel has an extensive background and passion for American orchestral and string music and loves sharing his heart for music with his students at TIA. Daniel has only been here about a year, but has already established himself at TIA and in the community as one of the finest violinists in the NW! You can also hear Daniel playing around Olympia with the Olympia Symphony and the Olympia Chamber Orchestra. Daniel’s violin students are always growing musically and have been doing exceedingly well in adjudication, and can be seen and heard playing regularly at TIA events like music making at the mall, bringing music to seniors at local retirement centers, and, in our presentations (recitals).
Cello
When Daniel was at Sacramento State he spent a significant portion of his time teaching in the String Project, which included not just teaching violin, but cello as well. Essentially a big violin, Daniel knows and loves the cello as well as violin, and loves to bring out its unique darker and richer sounds as well as working with students to learn to make the cello sing!
Piano
Daniel, like nearly all of our faculty, is a highly capable pianist and passionate piano teacher as well as all of his other instruments. You can often hear him working on something currently inspiring him, or on some beautiful accompaniment for one of his strings students. If you are wanting to learn piano or hone your skills, Daniel is one of our highly capable, fun, and caring piano teachers.
Daniel, like most of our faculty, is booked solid, but currently has TWO openings at 1:30 and 4PM on Wednesdays.
“We love Tuned In. Daniel B provides our son with affordable age appropriate piano lessons and Q loves them!!! He enjoys his weekly time with Daniel and we see weekly improvement. While we only have experience with Daniel’s teaching we have met most of the other staff and they are all very friendly. Highly suggest Tuned In Academy.”-Hannah B.
Violin Visions: A Mother’s Wish for her Son’s Music Lessons Surpasses Reality
At 5 years old, my son was a stick figure of a boy with round eyes and a desire to seize the world in his fist. In his karate lessons, he practiced his katas and basics with dexterity: front jack, side jack, turn. His oversized gi fell over his shoulder as if he had borrowed his clothes from a husky 10-year-old kid…
“I want to play violin,” he said.
“Sorry, honey, but I can’t afford karate and violin at the same time,” I said. “You will have to choose.”
“I choose violin,” he said after thinking about it for a whole weekend.
I didn’t tell him how excited I was. Instead, I said, “Are you sure? That’s a big commitment.”
He was sure. We scanned the classified ads for violins.
My sons didn’t become professional musicians, but they did become disciplined men with good work ethic, capable of making their own decisions about what is important to them. They both practice music on the side. The geologist has a recording studio at home in Denver. The biologist plays gigs in bars in San Francisco.
I’m grateful for the years that the violin was in our lives, holding my hopes for my beloved children, giving me a structure on which to base their education, a guiding light in times when I was lost and didn’t know how to raise my kids. I didn’t become the mother of a famous violinist, but the proud mamá of two wonderful men.- Lisbeth Coiman
