Testimonials

Over my 20+ year career as a Professional Vocal Teacher and Coach, I have had the honour of training thousands of voices. I am grateful to all my students who have trusted me with their voice. You all inspire me and I am thrilled to be a part of your vocal journey.

David

Drummer, Songwriter

Tammy does more than teach vocal skills... she teaches the joy of singing, an understanding of how the voice works, and the confidence each of us needs for our voices to be heard. She is what great teachers are made of - a great passion for music with a tremendous empathy and commitment to her students.

Barb

Retired Music Teacher

I experienced paralysis of my right vocal fold after a surgical intervention. I sought help from Tammy for vocal rehabilitation. She provided exceptional training on cognitive, emotional, and physical levels. Tammy's vocal exercises, understanding of the voice, and effective explanations contributed to my full recovery, which took less than six months.

Tammy is a brilliant vocal coach. Her understanding of how the voice works is comprehensive and clear, and her techniques for releasing the voice work very well. She is encouraging, knowledgeable, and effective. She helped me sing after a lifetime of wondering how!

I have always sung, and I have had many good teachers over the years, but after one lesson with Tammy, my range and power and the understanding of my voice as an instrument reached an exciting new level--Tammy is a force of nature.

Tammy is a fantastic coach and teacher! I first reached out to her when I was preparing to record studio vocals for the first time. She helped me tremendously with my confidence and has given me so many great tools that have changed my singing for the better. I have reached out to her numerous times since, and will continue to reach out to her whenever I need a tune up or when I want some help with a song I’m writing/working on. Can’t recommend her enough!

Tammy's teaching skills are incredible! She has worked with my daughter for many years and has helped her enhance her vocal skills and range. She has incredible insight into more than just what vocal notes to hit. She helps her students understand what the song is about, and the end result is a vocal rendition that is sung with heartfelt meaning and power.

Darren

Pianist, Entrepreneur

With Tammy, the traditional methods and vague terminologies are left behind. Instead, she demystifies the process by teaching an in-depth technical approach, building on itself in concrete and understandable ways, while also increasing the student’s vocal knowledge ultimately leading them to continue to train themselves.

Tammy is magic. Her approach to vocal technique is truly effective, easy to understand, and fun to explore. She is every singer's greatest advocate.

In just one session, Tammy gave me back my confidence and inspiration to sing again. She gave me the tools and exercises I needed to improve, and tailored the session according to my needs. Her knowledge of vocal technique and physiology was truly insightful.

Our daughter has been with Tammy for two years. We cannot believe the improvements in her singing. It has also given her much more confidence...on stage...and overall. Most importantly, she looks forward to every lesson.

Ryan

Singer, Songwriter, Musician

In the time 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.

Tammy is an amazing vocal coach. She is patient and tailors her approach based on your individual needs, all while keeping the core principles of her method.

Tammy’s workshop was energizing. She successfully gives an overview into the workings of the vocal instrument and how one should be using it in order to maximize results. I was impressed with her proficiency and professionalism.

Nicole

Musical Theatre Performer

Singing with Tammy is such a wonderful experience. She has a thorough understanding of the physiology of the voice and pairs it with expertise on how to utilize your voice to its best ability. Tammy breaks everything down into very clear and practical exercises that improve even the most trained voice.

Andrea

Retired, Band Member

I was hesitant to sign up for online vocal lessons because I thought it would be a lesser experience, however, I enjoyed my first lesson so much that I continued on weekly. Tammy is a wonderful teacher, technically educated with a warm and encouraging style, and you feel as if you are in the same room. I gained the confidence to sing in front of others and the tools needed to continue learning new songs on my own.

David B

Singer, Songwriter, Musician

When I first started training with Tammy, I was out of control- problems with pitch, sustaining, range, breathing, annunciation, and clarity. With Tammy's expert coaching, friendly demeanor, compassion, and wonderful teaching I started seeing improvements in a very short time. Now, I have the confidence, range, and technique necessary to sing in virtually any venue or setting. 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.

Shana

Sales Executive

I have always dreamed of having singing lessons. Since my training with Tammy, I have gained insight into how I can use my voice to its full potential, and I look forward to this continued experience and application. The techniques taught by Tammy continue to instill the confidence that I need, to one day take me to where I want to go with my voice… the sky’s the limit!

Martha

Lead Singer, Hair Stylist

I had not sung a note, other than in the shower, for 20 years. With Tammy’s knowledgeable guidance, and with the tools she has taught me, I feel confident to perform in front of others. I believe Tammy is a gifted communicator. She has a unique ability to bring her point across, using visual and physical cues, to help me sing with ease. She has a way of bringing out the best in me.

Rachel

Psychologist

I have had the pleasure of working with Tammy both in a group and in private lessons. I NEVER thought I would feel comfortable exploring my singing voice, but Tammy was encouraging, and enthusiastic and truly believed that we all have a singing voice that is waiting to be released. I am more comfortable singing now, and I learned singing techniques and practices with Tammy that I use every day.

Megan

Vocal Department Teacher

As a guest artist, Tammy conducted master classes with our Vocal Program students. I was extremely impressed by her knowledge of the voice and performance techniques. She was able to relate very well to students’ prior knowledge and give each of them useful tools to take away and add to their individual practice. I noticed a real difference in my students’ solo performances after they participated in the workshop and they frequently referenced what they learned throughout the course.

Marco

Singer, Guitarist

Like many other people out there I have had a passion for singing for a very long time. I have always felt that there was some natural talent in me but I could tell that I needed some help if I wanted to move forward. Tammy's teaching method and dedication have allowed me to understand and trust my vocal abilities to a point I would have never imagined possible. Before I would simply try to reproduce another singer's voice and style because I didn't know any better and by the end of a song I would often be tired and sore. Now I know who I am as a singer and with the tools she has given me, I can easily tackle songs that used to intimidate me. The greatest thing about my experience has definitely been how at ease Tammy has always made me feel during our lessons and her contagiously enthusiastic nature.

William

Choir Director

Tammy's workshop was very illuminating for everyone who took part. Her enthusiasm and professionalism were first-rate. The choir continues to use the methods that were taught at the workshop. This was truly a valuable experience for our group.

Joan

Singer, Mom

My daughter and I have had the pleasure of working with Tammy and I'm quite amazed at how rejuvenated we both feel after each session! The techniques and methodology that Tammy uses are quite unique and effective - I've never been able to bridge the gap between my head voice and my chest voice before. Thank you, Tammy, for your detailed instruction and positive motivation!

Michael

Former Editor

We have greatly appreciated Tammy's obvious talent and dedication for several years here at Canadian Musician magazine. The consistent expertise she offers our readers is intensely valuable.

Cristien

Actor, Writer, Musician

I brought Tammy a song that I had always wanted to sing, but I never felt that I could hit the notes. By the 3rd session, I was nailing it every time! Blew me away. She always made me feel incredibly confident and comfortable in my voice in ways no other instructor ever had.

Dr. Robert

Doctor of Science

Everyone should do something creative in life, and for me, I chose to add something that presents a huge challenge and doesn’t come naturally to me – singing. Upon my first vocal lesson with Tammy, I really had no consistent singing voice and little confidence in my ability – Tammy has quickly changed all that, and more. Tammy has a unique combination of dedication to improvement, knowledge of technique, the ability to quickly identify and tackle limitations, and above all a wonderful, lively, and fun personality. Tammy is a true professional, comfortable working with both the seasoned professional and the beginner.
