HI, I’M TINA TARA
SINGER. SONGWRITER. MUSIC TEACHER.
Hi! My name is Tina Tara, and I am a professional singer, songwriter, recording artist, and music teacher. As an artist myself, I’ve been writing and releasing original music for years, have learned everything from writing, composing to producing, mixing, mastering and releasing as well as marketing and performing music. My songs have hit the Billboard TOP40 , Music Week TOP10 and AC Independent charts on #2, amongst others. I bring real-world experience into every lesson I teach and can’t wait to share it with each student who is willing to learn.
I was classically trained in both piano and vocals which gives me an excellent foundation as both professional musician and music coach. I like to keep my classes light, with lots of positivity, encouragement and a sensitivity to what each student needs to move forward in the most efficient but also fun way.
I tailor each class to the individual student, helping them build skill and confidence while encouraging creativity and self-expression. Whether you’re here to strengthen your voice, write your first song, or start your journey on the piano, my goal is to support you in finding your passion and your own unique connection to music—and to your true, artistic voice
