Washington Ave. in Lansing's REO Town. The mission, she says, is to provide group and individual classes - in guitar, violin, voice, general music and more - at an affordable cost."

"Teeming with talent jazz violinist scats, composes and plays... hoarding a talent overload" —Lansing State Journal
The Tia Imani Hanna Project is composed of three members, Carolyn Koebel, percussionist; Elden Kelly, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist; and Tia Imani Hanna, violinist, vocalist and composer. We have a shared interest in improvisation and in creating music that lives in the moment, in shaping a sacred space with music, and in sharing those evolving moments with an audience. We are asking for your support in developing our debut CD, The Spaces Between Us. This Kickstarter campaign will help us to complete this CD project. Find out more about the CD Project and become a backer!
Tia Imani Hanna on violin and vocals performing at TEDxLansing 2011 with Sven Anderson on piano on May 20, 2011. Sample other recent performances on Tia Imani Hanna's YouTube Channel.
The jazz singer/violinist exudes unpretentious sophistication. Her friendly stage persona and well-chosen playlist are perfect for intimate club settings or large performance venues. She fuses the precision of her classical training with the improvisational character of jazz. The result: a mellow yet complex style that is enthralling.
Hanna takes a romantic standard and applies her own deft touch. She bops through complex jazz favorites and original compositions with ease, confidence and style. The richness of her violin and smooth vocals lures fans who seek listenable yet compelling music. When she breaks into scat you have entertainment that grabs attention. "Hanna will put down the violin now and then to sing a tune; and sometimes she'll sing without putting down the violin..." —Capital Times

Tia Imani Hanna’s The Book of Tia Chapter One was such an album for me that introduced me to the violin in a different way than I've heard it before."
