C.

I have a problem with anxiety and was very worried about starting singing lessons. I had nothing to worry about. Tania had me hooked from lesson one.

D.

Good pace to lessons and always leave feeling like I've learnt what we've set out for the lesson and normally, even more!

S.

Tania was friendly, prompt, and really flexible. The singing lesson was a surprise gift and it went brilliantly! The lesson combined vocal exercises and singing some songs. I will definitely be booking again.

D.

I've only had two lessons and already learned more than what I've learned from any one else about singing.
