I have studied singing for years. I studied before and during University where I obtained my degree in Music Theatre. However, I have found that the most dramatic improvement in my vocal technique has come from my work with Tammy over the past two years. She truly is an amazing teacher and a wonderful woman to have on your side. Her encouraging and patient nature is such a necessity in a business such as the performing arts. Through consistent work I have been able to gain skills that at one time seemed out of reach. I have confidence in my vocal abilities now, which has greatly impacted my success in the audition room. Not only do I continue to grow in my work with Tammy, but I have gained knowledge and skills that I can easily apply myself to solve problems I encounter when working on pieces. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone who wants to enjoy singing in any style more so than they presently do… it becomes easy and fun as opposed to what I previously felt, which was that I was limited and stuck. Thank you Tammy!

Where would I be without Tammy? When I first started training with Tammy, I was out of control- problems with pitch, sustain, range, breathing, annunciation and clarity. With Tammy's expert coaching, friendly demeanor, compassion and wonderful teaching I started seeing improvements in very short time. Now, two years later, I have the confidence, range and technique necessary to sing in virtually any venue or setting. Because of Tammy, I can now sing for hours across my entire range without fatigue. I can concentrate on connecting with my audience, instead of worrying about what noise is about to come out of my mouth. Singing is no longer a chore, it's a joy. This is, without a doubt, the best money and time I've ever spent. If you're a singer - professional, amateur, or hobbyist - Tammy can help you find your voice.

All my life I’ve coasted through education and life in general doing the minimal amount of work and preparation while relying on my talents. That is, until Tammy showed me the amazing results that can be achieved through the daily discipline and routine of her technique. In the year that I’ve been studying with Tammy I’ve amazed everybody who's been following my career as well as myself with the power, range, and control she has helped me achieve. And while in the past I would be content to settle for what I’ve achieved to this point I’m excited and determined to see the results of sustaining this training into the future. What I’ve learned from Tammy extends past my vocal abilities into every aspect of my life and has been one of the most positive educational experiences of my life. I would and do recommend Tammy to anybody looking to become a better singer. Tammy is a vibrant and fun teacher who is full of positive energy. My only wish were that I found her earlier.

If you paid me to criticise Tammy, I think the best I could come up with is that she knows too many show tunes. But that's not even criticism to some folks :-) So this next bit, I'll give ya for free: Tammy is incredibly supportive -- I met her at Graffiti's when she was there watching another student's band. A few months later, she was front row center watching my band at the Cameron House. She hosts monthly open mic nights in her studio for students who wouldn't otherwise have many chances to perform, and a big annual gig for everyone to sing at a cool downtown venue. She bought a stack of my CDs and has helped me sell others. At lesson time she is funny, positive and great at what she does. Her technique makes a ton of sense and her approach will put you at ease. I've gotten a lot of compliments this year about how my singing is better than it was on the last record. So I recommend her to people all the time -- like right now to you.

I had begun teaching myself what was known to me as Speech Level Singing by buying a book written by a well known vocal coach to the stars named Seth Riggs. But to me there was still something missing. Really, I wished I could find a teacher who could assure me I wasn’t over-singing the exercises; a teacher to show me the proper technique to use in my performances and not just when singing with the practice CD. Then I was introduced to Tammy. I had no idea what type of vocal coaching she did at that time, but was told by a friend of a friend that she was a pretty cool person. When we did finally touch base and I learned of her vocal technique and background, I was ecstatic. I’ve been taking lessons with her ever since. She has never once tried to change me into something I’m not and has only helped me strengthen what I’ve been building as a singer. She is so supportive of everything I do that she is more like a friend than just a teacher or coach. There is definitely a connection, and that just enhances the experience. I’d trust Tammy’s opinion over many others any day because she is always honest and definitely trustworthy. I often refer her to as many people as I can because she totally deserves the accolades. That friend of a friend was right too…She is a pretty cool person!

As a guitar player without the vocal chops to match, I had tried voice lessons in the past but gave up after lack of progress. I had no idea what my singing voice was supposed to sound like. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Tammy and decided to try again. After only a couple of lessons I got it - I knew what my voice was supposed to sound like and what we were working towards. After one year my range, intonation, and tonal quality have improved well beyond any expectations I had when I started working with Tammy. I'm still learning and improving every week and Tammy has invigorated my passion for music and performing.
