I am now on my second year of graduate studies at Shenandoah University for Music Performance with a concentration in voice. Before going to graduate school I took a year off and taught privately at a music school. Within a few weeks my students improved a few of them even performed in a recital. One student also performed in a local children's production of Legally Blonde. Students who study with me will learn the basics and proper technique to sing, will sing appropriate repertoire and I will prepare the student if he or she would like to make a career in singing.

Experienced teacher of 10 years. All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Let's get started!

My name is Tamara Herrera. I am a singer that graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Bachelor's Degree in Contemporary Writing and Production. I love teaching students what I have learned from amazing and talented people. I have gone through many music experiences like performing for Lionel Richie, opening Latin Grammy Award Winner: Alexander Acha's show, and performing at many other concerts/recitals of different styles and genres. I will not only teach you to sing, but also to interpret the songs and have a much better presence on stage. What is the point of being a good singer if you are too shy to sing in public? I will help you deal with that :).
I look forward to being a part of your music journey and pass on many great techniques!!

I have always loved to sing and my previous choir and musical theatre experience has greatly helped in my teaching singing career.
