“I've been taking lessons from Tara for about three and a half years. The amount of progress I've seen during that time is incredible. I first came to her because my voice was fatiguing whenever I sang. I'd never had training and wasn't sure if the singing I was doing at home was damaging my voice. Right away, she identified the weaker area of my voice and started to give me exercises that strengthened weak muscles, improved resonance and tone, and helped add a consistency to my voice I'd never had before. I came to her thinking my voice maxed out at the top of the staff and within my first lesson she proved that I had a much larger range than I thought I did. Over time that range has expanded even further.

What I appreciate most, though, is that she constantly pushes me to keep growing. Whether it it is in the difficulty of the music I'm learning, the artistry of the performance, or the techniques I'm learning in my exercises, there is always a next level and Tara ensures that I keep challenging myself just enough to stay engaged without becoming too overwhelmed. This, more than anything, has improved my performance and grown my confidence immensely.

I'm so grateful to have learned everything I've learned from her, and I can't wait to see what the three and a half years (and beyond) of lessons will bring.” -Amy S.
