Tatiana teaches old time and bluegrass fiddle to students of all ages and levels. Her teaching draws upon her performing experience as well as her academic background, combining history with musical technique and stylistic commentary.

“Tatiana is one of the most effective teachers I’ve encountered in traditional music. She’s able to provide a framework across a range of skill levels by introducing the basics of a tune, then augmenting that with hands-on discussion of bowing and possible variations, grounding it all in source recordings as well as historical and cultural context. The instinctive joy she finds in the fiddle is contagious.” Missy Roser - student.  

She has taught at music camps such as the Swannanoa Old Time Gathering, Augusta Heritage Center and the Rockygrass Academy.
