Tara Bennett - Colchester, Essex, CO2 7SB

Tara began her singing career aged nine, as a founder member of the City of Birmingham Symphony Youth Chorus. Aged 14 she started training with the National Youth Music Theatre of Great Britain. These endeavours led to a number of performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Belfast Lyric Theatre & Belfast Waterfront Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, the Royal Festival Hall and Birmingham’s Symphony Hall; in addition to performances in Paris, Vienna and Ghent.

Tara graduated from the London School of Musical Theatre in 2006. Whilst at college she studied voice technique and musical performance with Rosemary Ashe. Upon graduation she performed at the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden in Transatlantic Talents production of “A Woman’s Prerogative- the music of Harold Arlen” and the “Anthology of Conor Mitchell” at the Actor’s Church, Covent Garden, before joining Nottingham Playhouse’s Number One National Tour of “Tracy Beaker Gets Real” understudying and playing Tracy Beaker. She is represented by Regan Rimmer Management and has just completed recording on her five track EP with Reckless LTD.

Tara began her singing training at a young age studying for the noted ABRSM exams before a change of vocal coach led to an exploration of differing genres of music; and her love of Musical Theatre, Pop and Rock was born. Her lessons are focused upon confidence building and honing students existing abilities, using the Estill methods to improve vocal technique.

Tara teaches a variety of students including beginners, young adults, working professionals and those who just love to sing. Her lessons are structured around the individual’s own requirements and then together, working towards a set goal- whatever that may be!

 Testimonials

"I get more out of my lessons with Tara than simply improving my voice. Her natural vibrancy, positivity and enthusiasm rub off. She has a professional yet easy-going teaching style and her techniques gently push the boundaries. I found that my vocal stamina and ability improved almost immediately and I have a better understanding of the ways to improve my singing voice than I've ever had before. Tara's ideas are fresh, her style is engaging, her training is effective and it's always a lot of fun." Emma Attwood

Thank you so much for everythhing.  Thank you for teaching me and thank you for your support.  But i really want to thank you for giving me the confidence to believe in my own abilities.  You have helped me so much, I can't thank you enough.  You're such a great person, you're so kind and always have a smile ready when I see you.  I honestly am so grateful to you.  Without having lessons with you, I don't think I would have gone to uni to study performing arts.  Thanks again!

"I've been having singing lessons for about 3 years, going from teacher to teacher not really getting any better than when i started. It was only when i started my singing lessons with Tara last year that my confidence and my ability started to improve. I started reaching notes i thought were impossible for me to do. I like the way the lessons are taught because there fun but you learn so much at the same time!! I've learnt audtion tips, breathing techniques, loads of different warm ups- you can actually feel your diaphram working really hard! All i can really say is Tara you're the best person and teacher i've ever met in my life!!! It was because of you that i got through the first round of the xfactor!! You've made me sound 10times better than when i first started and you always believed i could do it!!!!"
