Ms. Mia (Online)

Welcome! Mia has been making up stories ever since she could talk, and writing songs ever since she could sing. She adores music, storytelling, and working with kids, so teaching has been a wonderful way to combine those interests.

Mia's experience in music is extensive and eclectic. Growing up, she sang in honor choirs, took piano lessons, and taught herself guitar and ukulele. Between her personal and freelance work, she's written over 200 songs, and also has a certificate in Lyric Writing from Berklee School of Music Online.

She has experience working with kids of all ages, through working as a babysitter, substitute preschool teacher, and a camp counselor for a pre-college program at Stanford University, where she doubled as a TA for a filmmaking class and also led multiple songwriting workshops.

She believes in the power of music and songwriting; for her, it has been a powerful and fun form of self-expression. Countless studies have indicated that writing about our experiences, thoughts, and feelings can lead to improvements in mental health. It's also just a lot of fun, and can help you gain confidence and grow as a musician, writer, thinker, and human!

Mia is always open to new ideas for classes depending on student interests; she also loves connecting with students one-on-one.
