About Tamis
What makes me different than other vocal coaches? Most other college level professional teachers are classical leaning and will have you do outdated boring scale exercises. If you want to learn how to sing the styles on your play list, classical training won't help you. I find many of today's singers want to learn textures and raspy sounds, and how to hit those powerful high notes with ease without sounding operatic. I get faster results in a more fun way! Curious?

I'm a Certified Voice Technician, Contemporary Vocal Coach, a Singer and a Songwriter. I probably have been where you. I didn't think I had "that type of voice" either. Now I know differently. So many possibilities! Did you know you're not "stuck with" the voice you have? Your voice is a choice. Current specials are listed on my website, ZingliZh.com
I teach a variety of modern and old school contemporary styles: Pop, Rock, Metal, RnB, Jazz, Folk, Americana, Country, Musical Theatre, and Songwriting. My goal is to help singers of all levels learn styles sung by commercial pro-singers in various genres, and sound authentic doing it. And my lessons are fun! Text (concealed information)
I love to teach! Nothing excites me more than helping others become more of who they are. I had taken lessons from voice teachers that bored me to tears doing classical scales that didn't seem to help. Sometimes the coach was harsh and critical and wanted me to sound classical, boring and pretty. I wanted to sing rock, folk, country, and learn styles that had power and textures. So I set out to become the teacher I always wanted to find, someone honest and fair and encouraging, and teaches the styles people actually listen to and sing along with. And I'm fun!
The more I know, the more I can help you! I continue to study with various specialists and take courses in specific genres by teachers from all over the world. My goal is to keep up with the latest information by continuing my education on a daily basis. I'm also currently co-writing a book.
But as far as my education history: I graduated with an AA degree in music/vocal in 1991 from Mendocino College, where I also tutored beginning piano and music theory students. In 1992, I began studying at Santa Rosa Junior College: songwriting, contemporary composition in Jazz, Rock and Pop, video production, multimedia and theatre arts. I spent 13 years being part of the teaching team for an adult education singing class at SRJC. I also taught songwriting at a middle school in Rohnert Park, and Musical Theatre in Santa Rosa.
In 2016, I completed an intensive training course on vocal anatomy at one of the largest music schools in Manhattan: New York Vocal Coaching. Also, I was the first US teacher to attend an Advanced Voice Teacher Training Retreat from The Vocal Process in the UK in 2019 and Boston's Berklee College of Music's On-line Certification program in songwriting.

The lesson depends entirely on the goals and needs of the student. I don't do anything "generic" or "boring." Be prepared to have fun and laugh, make weird animal noises while you are learning. HA!
My favorite thing is when students bring a song they think they'd never be able to sing. YES! Let's do this! And then they can. Cool!
You are welcome to bring any material that you’ve been already working on, or that you would like to start working on. You can sing it without music, or with recorded background music.
I mostly work with students 18 and older, many of my students are retired ages, and all ages in between. I like to teach styles that people listen to and sing along with, not classical stuff, but real radio play type music of all eras, not just modern, but old school, too.
I had one student who just wanted to not be embarrassed singing happy birthday at parties. And on the other end, I've had students who are making recordings and touring as professionals writing their own music.
When looking for a singing teacher, look for someone who is a voice technician, not just a vocal coach or great singer, as great singers may not understand what it's like to struggle or have had the education in how the voice actually works. You wouldn't take your car to be fixed by a race car driver! Go to a great mechanic!
Look for someone who can work with your voice in a way you understand and gets quick and long lasting results with clear instruction and understands the style of music you are wanting to sing.
A teacher should be someone who is nurturing but not patronizing, someone who is honest and will tell you the truth without discouraging you, someone who continues to learn, someone who feels joy in your success. And is FUN!
I LOVE when students who think they can't sing something, after just a few lessons, they nail it, and are so excited that the weird vocal things I am having them do is actually working.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your singing experience? What singing skills you would like to improve? Who are your favorite singers or why do you like them? Styles or genres of music you'd like to be able to sing well?

If you really want to sing, Tamis will teach you. The class is laid back and you will be comfortable with the other folks. I probably won't get a gig at Carnage Hall, but I am better than before the class, thanks to Tamis!
I had never taken voice lessons before and was extremely self-conscious about singing in front of ANYONE (even my husband), and our singing lessons with Tamis have been a great experience!! I've learned a lot, sound better, and have gotten more comfortable singing in front of people (still a work in progress).
I would love to take more lessons with Tamis as she is a very skilled teacher, in my opinion, and she presents the lessons in a very fun and engaging manner. She is totally sensitive and kind about people feeling unsure of singing out loud in front of others. It's been fascinating to learn just how much there is to singing on the physical level, and the wonderful experience that I've had with Tamis has been enough to encourage me that I definitely want to learn more. And next time, I will practice much more!!Tamis is a wonderful voice teacher! Her group classes are small, relaxed and a lot of fun, even for those intimidated by the thought of performing in front of others. Very few of us are likely to become professional vocalists (or even Karaoke Sensations), but simply learning some technique and getting comfortable in our skins while singing is still a big deal, right?
Tamis is very kind (and hysterically funny at times), and the atmosphere she creates is friendly, supportive and playful-- a safe place to learn and explore singing and, hopefully, to finally find our "real" voice.Tamis has helped nail some of my biggest challenges with my vocals. She is an amazing coach that explains everything thoroughly so I can make the corrections. She can quickly figure out where I am making mistakes which helps my confidence as a singer. My vocals no longer hurt after 10 minutes of singing. Thank you Tamis!
Tamis is especially good at inspiring people to express themselves more openly, and she applies this skill to her voice coaching like no one I know. I've studied music seriously and have had some excellent teachers over the years, but Tamis is my favorite voice coach because she shows me how to crush my preconceived notions and crash through creative roadblocks every time she helps me with a song. Tamis' voice-coaching mentor, Justin Stoney, is one of the most sought-after coaches in New York, and Tamis does a great job applying Justin's methods while staying true to her own inspirational personality. Love to sing and want to get better at it and have more fun? Call Tamis at Zinglizh!
Tamis conducts the class around individual needs - she checks in with you constantly to ensure she is on your track. She utilizes expert techniques to help you bring out the best in your song, so you are using your vocal instrument effectively. She is very fun and creates a relaxed environment that makes you feel comfortable performing.
Tamis is a truly gifted teacher and singer. She meets you where you're at and suggests exercises and techniques that help you expand and grow your abilities. I didn't know I had a wider vocal range than I thought until I took this class. She's also very flexible. If you're trying to sing just for fun, she'll take that into account. If you need coaching to sing for a performance, she'll take you further than you thought you could go.
One of my favorite things about her teaching method is that she takes the time to thoroughly explain how singing works on all levels--physically, mentally, and emotionally. She has a ton of patience and makes corrections in ways that are truly helpful. She's a great communicator.
I really enjoyed this class and it made me want to take more singing lessons and get back into piano. It was really inspiring. I work at a very demanding job, and I never missed one session--it was the highlight of my week!Tamis was helping my friend and I with harmonizing our voices as we played our ukes. She was patient and positive. In all honestly, she was the only music teacher I ever had that didn't yell at me. I felt comfortable so it was easier to learn. And we had so much fun!
