Wessa has been training children in vocals & piano since 2013 and has successfully sent several of her students to universities around the world with impressive musical qualifications.

“I believe the art of music to be one of the most important skills to hone in a child. I have seen what it can do to a young person’s confidence and self-assurance once they have been singing for a while and it fills me with pride to be someone who can be responsible for that development.

Liam Baillie - Violin Teacher_website_square

Liam Baillie – Violin, Guitar

Liam believes that when it comes to music, it’s less about learning the right way to do things and more about exploring how we can, and want to, interact with music making.

As an early education teacher, he sees it as his role to foster a love of the life-long journey that comes with music making, choosing to focus on joy, mental-wellbeing, exploration, listening, and holistic practice habits as well as instrumental technique.

Liam has been playing violin since he was nine years old, and whilst he enjoys all music his speciality is in traditional folk music from Scotland and Appalachia. In 2025 he completed a Bachelor in Music, specialising in Composition and Music Technology. He performs regularly in Melbourne and abroad, and has a deep love for using traditional music as a gateway for cultural exploration and person-to-person connection.

Testimonials

“My 7 year old son absolutely loves his music lessons! He is so excited for his class he totally buzzes the whole way through. He is engaged with music that he likes and which suits his style. It’s not prescribed learning, it’s all about what works best for the student. Fostering his passion and exploring the instrument, whilst learning, will keep his passion alive as he grows. ”

Mel Williams

“As a person who has learnt both piano and violin (up to AMEB Grade 8), I have had a lot of experience with many different music teachers over many years. Now as a parent, with my son learning trumpet from Tanya, she is the best instrumental teacher that I have ever come across. Her enthusiasm and passion for music shines through when she teaches. From the start, she quickly developed a great rapport with my son, and her experience and ability to work with young children is very evident. She also teaches a variety of musical styles and encourages improvisation. My son says that she is humorous and fun and always looks forward to having his trumpet lessons. She is also an awesome trumpet player! I highly recommend Tanya and Musical Minds to anyone looking for quality and excellence.”
