TESTIMONIALS
Tara holds a special place in my heart, as she has been my guitar instructor since I was just 6 years old. Now, at nearly 13 years of age, she is still my guitar teacher, and I could never forget just how much Tara means to me. Her unforgettable patience and dedication to her students, have not only made her an exceptional teacher but an amazing mentor. Without her, I cannot begin to imagine where my guitar skills, and my ability and play and understand music would be today. She has brought to me a deep love for music, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Tara is more than a guitar teacher. Through her kind and calm demeanor, she quickly became a confidante to our kids and earned their trust and respect. She is patient and warm and meets each child where they are - even on a day-to-day basis. She knows when to push, when to give space and how to encourage the kids to be their best. She has taught our three children across 3 continents, and although now abroad, she’s still the only guitar teacher they want, and our weekly lessons continue thanks to her flexibility, patience and online platform.

She is very talented and patient with great ideas to encourage students to keep playing! My 9yro is really excelling in his skills! No more complaining about practicing or going to lessons!

Tara is amazing! My brother has taken guitar lessons with her for years (both in person and online) and his progress has been incredible. I recently started taking ukulele lessons with Tara online and am so happy I did. Tara really takes the time to listen to your personal music goals and then tailor lessons to those. She has so much knowledge and a really wonderful teaching style. And she's just a great human being in general :) If you are at all considering taking lessons with her, DO IT.

"Tara is a talented, warm, patient, and wonderful teacher. She took my son at 8 years old with no musical skills at all and now a couple of years later he can play and sing Blackbird, Lean on Me, and many other beautiful classics...on guitar! I know she is helping him be one of the cool guys on campus. She also made the transition to remote learning seamless. We are so grateful to her."

Tara is a talented musician and an inspiring, patient, warm and encouraging teacher. My two boys (now 12 and 15) have not only learned to read music and play the songs they love but have also developed a real appreciation for music and the confidence to write (and sing!) their own songs. She is amazing!!

“Somehow Tara has managed to engage my son on the guitar and teach him a totally new instrument over Zoom. I don’t know what type of hypnosis she performs on my son once a week but it’s working. He’s developed a real love and a genuine talent for making music!”

Well.... I believe no words can summarize my deep gratitude to Tara. My kid met Tara when she was in 1st grade. She did not have much appreciation or a desire to learn to play an instrument, but it was something I made her do. Tara, with her beautiful interesting personality was able to connect to her and install the love of music and creation. I cannot express in words the long journey my kid has done with Tara in which she learned the magic of being a creative expressive guitar player and music creator. Tara found a way to her heart, and I'm so grateful and thankful. She is a one of a kind teacher. Thank you!

Tara isn't the first guitar teacher that my two teenage boys have had but in our opinion she is the best of the lot. She is not only a talented musician and music teacher, but she has patience in abundance and is warm and kind. She really cares about her students. Tara clicked with my boys instantly. She came highly recommended by a friend and I have gone on to recommend her to several friends over the years and continue to recommend her without hesitation.

I have been working with Tara for just about a month now and my guitar skills have improved more than I could have ever imagined. Tara has been an incredible teacher and is knowledgeable in anything guitar + more. She is the best guitar teacher out there.

Tara is one of the best teachers I've known. She is a talented musician and a very gifted teacher- a wonderful combination. She is very good as seeing each student for the unique being that we all are, and she tailors the class to the needs of the student. Her class feels like a safe, fun and special time to create and learn guitar and musicianship. It is truly one of the best experiences one can have as a student, and I just wish every child could experience having a teacher like Tara.
