    By 1930 the family moved to Washington County. Following graduation from Washington College Academy in 1944, Jewell worked on the family farm for two years while teaching at Washington College Academy and studying voice from Rhea Hunter.

    After finishing his degree in Choral studies at East Tennessee State University, Mr. Tilson was "talked into" teaching band by former Elizabethton High School band director, Mel Kelly. Mr. Tilson began his teaching career at Elizabethton Junior High School and then taught at Washington College Academy, Elizabethton High School, Chattanooga City High School, Dobyns-Bennett High School and John Sevier Middle School.

    Mr. Tilson's bands were noted for outstanding concert and marching performances, receiving numerous superior ratings in competition. His bands from Chattanooga and Kingsport won first place four times at the Contest of Champions held at Middle Tennessee State University. The Dobyns-Bennett High School Band became one of the first high school bands in the state of Tennessee to travel internationally.

    Well into his later years, Mr. Tilson was well respected by music educators and former students alike. He very much enjoyed the students who visited his home, especially hearing from the ones who were still involved in music. In 2006, he was inducted into the Tennessee Bandmasters Hall of Fame.
