“Tanya is such an amazing teacher who gives me the space, confidence, tools and simply the joy to find my voice and sing in ways I never imagined I could. Tanya is a bundle of energy and she really loves working with you, always finding individual tools made for you, and she creates a safe space to explore and expand and just be comfortable in singing. I sincerely - highly recommend Tanya!!!!! I’m so grateful to have found her and with it my voice.” Stephanie Schreiter - Google Review
“I have been taking lessons with Tanya for over a year and can confirm other reviews that she is a fantastic teacher. Tanya takes a holistic approach to technique, arrangements and stagecraft so that whether a complete beginner (like me) or a seasoned performer looking to raise their game she will tell you what you need to hear, and how to grow from there. She has a great, dedicated facility in Greenwich and is highly recommended!” Gilbert Hill - Google review
“Tanya is an incredible teacher. Having not sung beyond the shower and wanting to sing to my partner at our wedding, Tanya helped me find my voice! Endless patience, perseverance, support and kindness made it such a fun and enjoyable experience to be taken out of my comfort zone.” Alan Booth - Google Review
“I first started lessons with Tanya just over a year ago after a few years away from singing due to lost confidence. I can honestly say that Tanya has really helped me to love singing again. She is endlessly patient, encouraging and incredibly knowledgable in singing technique, making everything accessible and adapting terminology to suit if I didn’t understand. She understands the individual needs of every student, and I would highly recommend her to beginners and skilled singers for a really positive and fun experience.” Millie Church - Google Review
“Tanya is highly professional and committed to what she does. She is very empathetic, and her in-depth knowledge of the theory of singing helped me to understand better the processes of it. The time flew by, and the lessons gave me the confidence to go out and sing. She was endlessly positive and appropriately challenging”. John Galloway - Google Review
“I had absolutely no singing experience when I started my lessons with Tanya, can’t thank her enough for the knowledge and confidence she has given me! She is such a fun and skilled teacher, 10/10 :)” Niki Randall - Google Review
“I wanted to learn to sing for years, but was terrified of letting anyone hear my voice. Tanya explains technique using imagery that makes sense to me as a physical performer. Her teaching feels much less daunting than previous times I've attempted to learn, and she has so many tools to help with every progression. During lockdowns her Zoom lessons kept me positive and I made huge progress from my bedroom. Now I have classes in person it's even better, but it's always good to know that if I can't make it, we can switch back to online learning. Tanya is extremely encouraging and really cares about your progress. I absolutely love our classes!” Katie Harwick - Google Review
“As a professional cabaret singer, lockdown meant that I had stopped singing for almost a year, losing both my muscular control and confidence. Despite the limitations of Zoom, Tanya was able to coax my voice back into shape, and indeed improve it in a variety of ways. Her coaching is highly accessible, stimulating and astute. I am back to performing again and instinctively able to adopt mechanisms she has encouraged and feel that my voice has improved as a consequence.” Charlie Bicknell - Google Review
“Tanya is a really engaging teacher who knows how to help you get the best out of your voice (even if you think you’re a rubbish singer, as I did when I first tried a lesson) and to find creative ways to make songs come alive. Lessons are always well paced and productive (even over Zoom during the pandemic), and never thought I’d enjoy singing so much or have the confidence to experiment as I do now. Highly recommend :-)” Sarah Coggrave - Google Review
“I’ve been having lessons with Tanya for about 6 weeks and have seen drastic improvements to my voice already! The lessons are so enjoyable and I always come away having learned so much. They leave me with a feeling of great satisfaction and a real desire to learn more :-D I’m very much looking forward to the many more lessons I will definitely be having with Tanya!” Alex Daley - Google Review
“I started singing lessons with Tanya about a year ago. She is very good explaining the technical side of singing. I was a complete beginner and very self conscious when singing, Tanya is encouraging, extremely patient and creates a relaxed atmosphere where I don't mind making mistakes. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn to sing.” Tamzen Moulding - Google Review
“We asked Tanya to help our daughter learn to sing when we realised she had an interest - despite being a little shy. I asked my daughter what to write in this review and she said "Tanya is AMAZING! She brings out the best in her pupils and went out of her way to help get me an audition." We totally agree - Tanya is a fantastic teacher. Her lessons are really well structured and designed to help develop singing technique, repertoire and confidence. She is also extremely caring and supportive. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found such a good teacher.” David Webster - Google Review
“When I started with Tanya, I could not sing (at all). She has worked with me, guiding me to the point, that now I can sing and carry a good tune! More importantly, she is teaching me the basics and building a foundation that is allowing me to unlock my own unique singing style.
Just an amazing coach, a positive, inspiring and wonderful person. Every week I truly look forward to working with her to learning something new and increase my awareness about my 'vocal voice.'" Guy Duncan - Google Review
“Tanya is both really encouraging and really professional. I loved the way that she delved into the science behind singing which helped me feel that it was possible to improve. I could actually hear a massive improvement in my voice after only one lesson. If you are looking to ‘find your voice’ I would strongly recommend Tanya as a teacher.” Alanna Rodriguez - Google Review 2022
