“It was a great start for me to connect the dots and filling in the gaps between my early basic music training and what I have learned on the job. Looking forward to doing more and learning to make charts.”

After studying with Tamara, I can play my melodies on a keyboard, find the right chords to go with them, and put it all on sheet music to take to a producer. I used to tell people I was a lyricist. Now, I tell them I’m a songwriter.
