Where would I be without Tammy? When I first started training with Tammy, I was out of control- problems with pitch, sustain, range, breathing, annunciation and clarity. With Tammy's expert coaching, friendly demeanor, compassion and wonderful teaching I started seeing improvements in very short time. Now, two years later, I have the confidence, range and technique necessary to sing in virtually any venue or setting. Because of Tammy, I can now sing for hours across my entire range without fatigue. I can concentrate on connecting with my audience, instead of worrying about what noise is about to come out of my mouth. Singing is no longer a chore, it's a joy. This is, without a doubt, the best money and time I've ever spent. If you're a singer - professional, amateur, or hobbyist - Tammy can help you find your voice.

Tammy is magic. Her approach to vocal technique is truly effective; the framework she provides is easy to understand and fun to explore. She explains the foundation of her concepts in a way that anyone can follow. More than that, though, Tammy has an innate understanding of the human condition. As a student of both her private and group lessons, I felt her unconditional support and encouragement every step of the way. I was able to move past fear and into performance, claiming my right to self-expression through song. She is every singer's greatest advocate.

I was hesitant to sign up for online vocal lessons because I thought it would be a lesser experience, however I enjoyed my first lesson so much that I continued weekly for approximately 6 months. Tammy is a wonderful teacher, technically educated with a warm and encouraging style, and you feel as if you are in the same room. I gained the confidence to sing in front of others and the tools needed to continue learning new songs on my own.

I’ve been playing piano and around music since a boy, and for me the voice is one of the most beautiful and elusive instruments to learn. With Tammy, the traditional methods and vague terminologies are left behind. Instead she demystifies the process by teaching an in depth technical approach, building on itself in concrete and understandable ways, while also increasing the student’s vocal knowledge ultimately leading them to continue to train themselves.

Tammy is so much more than just an amazing vocal coach! She is compassionate & caring and truly gives her all to ensure your experience with her is exceptional ! I am so fortunate to have found Tammy many years ago & I continue to strengthen my voice as well as my soul every time we sing together.

Tammy is an amazing vocal coach. She is patient and tailors her approach based on your individual needs all while keeping the core principals of her method. Since COVID 19, Tammy has moved her lessons into the virtual realm and I feel like we haven’t missed a beat, in fact I may like the virtual ones even better since I can do the lesson in the comfort of my own home and there’s no need to drive. Each session I learn something new and since I have started I have increased my range from a G to now being able to hit a high tenor C and even higher. I highly recommend using Tammy’s services!

I had not sung a note, other than in the shower, for 20 years. With Tammy’s knowledgeable guidance, and with the tools she has taught me, I feel confident to perform in front of others. I believe Tammy is a gifted communicator. She has a unique ability to bring her point across, using visual and physical cues, to help me sing with ease. She provides a comfortable, supportive atmosphere in which to learn and experiment with fun music and challenging exercises. I look forward to each one of my lessons. She has a way of bringing out the best in me.

Our daughter has been with Tammy for two years.  We cannot believe the improvements in her singing.  It also given her much more confidence...on stage...and overall.  Most importantly, she looks forwards to the lessons and truly loves going.

Tammy is an exceptional singing teacher. Though her methods are wonderful for beginner and intermediate levels of singing, as a fully professional singing coach myself, she helped me connect to my voice with a deeper understanding and acuteness after her one hour Simply Sing Workshop than I have experienced in quite some time. Clearly she loves what she does and when you have that kind of love for your craft – it will resonate strongly in the voices of people she teaches.

I've loved being a student of Tammy's for the last two years. She's great at catering her lessons to your personal goals. After going through vocal RCM lessons for many years, I always wanted a teacher that valued the more creative, artistic, and spiritual side of music and found Tammy's teaching style worked very well for me.

When Tammy Frederick came in as a guest artist to conduct master classes with students in the ARTS Mackenzie Vocal Program, I was extremely impressed by her knowledge of the voice and acting techniques.  She was able to relate very well to students’ prior knowledge and give each of them useful tools to take away and add to their individual practice.  The students ranged from experienced jazz, musical theatre, and opera singers to choral singers who were trying out musical theatre for the first time.  Tammy encouraged a positive collaborative atmosphere and was able to make each of them feel that they had something to offer.  In the master classes, she focused on healthy practices for developing mixed voice and singing expressively by applying acting techniques such as making personal connections to the text.  I noticed a real difference in my students’ solo performances after they participated in the workshop and they frequently referenced what they learned throughout the course.

Tammy does more than teach vocal skills... she teaches the joy of singing, an understanding of how vocal harmony works, and the confidence each of us needs for our voices to be heard. She is what great teachers are made of - a great passion for music with a tremendous empathy and commitment to her students!

Tammy is an awesome vocal coach and I cant praise her enough! She’s professional, approachable and knowledgeable. You won’t regret taking her lessons!

I have studied singing for years. I studied before and during University where I obtained my degree in Music Theatre. However, I have found that the most dramatic improvement in my vocal technique has come from my work with Tammy over the past two years. She truly is an amazing teacher and a wonderful woman to have on your side. Her encouraging and patient nature is such a necessity in a business such as the performing arts. Through consistent work I have been able to gain skills that at one time seemed out of reach. I have confidence in my vocal abilities now, which has greatly impacted my success in the audition room. Not only do I continue to grow in my work with Tammy, but I have gained knowledge and skills that I can easily apply myself to solve problems I encounter when working on pieces. I highly recommend Tammy to anyone who wants to enjoy singing in any style more so than they presently do… it becomes easy and fun as opposed to what I previously felt, which was that I was limited and stuck. Thank you Tammy!

Everyone should do something creative in life. For me I chose to add something that presents a huge challenge and doesn’t come naturally to me – music. Upon my first vocal lesson with Tammy, I really had no consistent singing voice and little confidence in my ability – Tammy has quickly changed all that, and more. Tammy has a unique combination of dedication to improvement, knowledge of technique, the ability to quickly identify and tackle limitations and above all a wonderful, lively and fun personality. This all adds up to huge improvement in the voice in surroundings that are encouraging and lots of fun. Tammy is a true professional, comfortable working with both the seasoned professional and the beginner. I very highly recommend Tammy to anyone looking for creativity through voice or looking to improve their already developed vocal talent.

We have greatly appreciated Tammy's obvious talent and dedication for several years here at Canadian Musician magazine. The consistent expertise she offers our readers is intensely valuable.

In just one session, Tammy gave me back my confidence and inspiration to sing again after a year long hiatus. After communicating my goals and challenges in singing, she gave me the tools and exercises I needed to improve and tailored the session according to my needs. Her knowledge of vocal technique and physiology was truly insightful, and her positive can-do attitude made things fun.

My daughter started with Tammy in January. With the flexibility of the online classes, my daughter is able to find guidance more conveniently than ever. Tammy is a great teacher with a lot of methods and valuable tips. My daughter now sings with a higher pitch, and she can also express emotion in her voice. We are really glad to have found Tammy!

About a year ago I was ready to sing again. I left singing altogether for some time as I was so frustrated with the many limitations of my previous training. Fortunately, I met Tammy Frederick. Tammy is extremely professional and has an extensive knowledge of the voice. With Tammy’s coaching and technique, I am now able to tackle any genre of music successfully! My vocal range has expanded and Tammy has helped bridge the gap between my higher and lower registers with various vocal exercises that always relate directly to specific “problem areas” in the repertoire. I’ve finally experienced my true voice. Not what someone else thinks it should be or how it should sound. Singing has become natural, easy and fun again! Thanks Tammy!

Whenever I'm visiting Toronto, I have to squeeze in a few lessons with Tammy. I've had only around 10 lessons, but I leave each and every one with new revelations about my voice and specific techniques I can use when I'm away in Hong Kong. Not only does she give me take-away exercises that help develop my bridge, breathing and dynamics, she also teaches me how exactly to apply them to songs (of any language!). Tammy's thorough knowledge of the voice gives me the confidence that I can attain the vocal freedom needed to express my songs just the way they were meant to be. Thank you so much!

I am thrilled to have found Tammy and so amazed with where my voice went with her. Her approach and technique is so fresh, innovative, simple and effective, and Tammy herself teaches with such heart and passion. Working with her guarantees a dynamic and seamless performance, and takes your voice to places you never thought it could go.

I have always dreamed of having voice lessons with not only someone who I could truly click with on a personal level, but also with a person who has an extensive understanding of voice technique that can be applied in a practical way. Since my training with Tammy, I have gained insight into how I can use my voice to its full potential, and I look forward to this continued experience and application. The techniques taught by Tammy continue to instill the confidence that I need, to one day take me to where I want to go with my voice… the sky’s the limit!! Thanks Tammy for your professionalism, passion and dedication to voice and song!

I was a private student of Tammy's a few years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons, techniques and homework! It was an absolute pleasure. I remember sort of being on a high after my first lesson, it was so good. Being a songwriter, she encouraged me to play her my songs and get coaching on how to sing my songs properly. Don't hesitate to learn from a professional!

I highly recommend Tammy for any group or individual planning such an event. The workshop focused on areas of concern for choir members including breathing techniques, vowel modification, and suggestions for broadening vocal range. The event was very illuminating for everyone who took part. Ms. Frederick’s enthusiasm and professionalism was first rate. Participants were given hands on opportunities to learn and develop innovative ways of improving their singing. The choir continues to use the methods that were taught at the workshop. I fully endorse Tammy Frederick’s vocal workshop as one of the most valuable endeavours one can enjoy in this industry. You and/or your group will thoroughly benefit from the experience.

I have lived in Newmarket/Aurora for over 20 years now. I have had much vocal training from Seth Riggs method in Los Angeles in the past and have sung professionally as well, but I lost my ability to sing in full voice capacity due to different circumstances throughout the past few years. When I began my vocal lessons with Tammy Frederick I was sceptical it would ever work and thought I may never sing again, but, thanks to Tammy's coaching & patient instruction one lesson at a time slowly she helped me find my voice.  She has the ability to seek out weakness and strengthen it for healing & restoration...the rest is the homework she gives me and dedication. I can't thank Tammy enough for the gift of helping me find my way back to Sing once again!

I have always sung, and I have had many good teachers over the years, but after one lesson with Tammy, my range and power and the understanding of my voice as an instrument reached an exciting new level--Tammy is a force of nature and a single encounter with her will change your life in a joyful way!

Tammy's teaching skills are incredible! She has worked with my daughter for many years and has helped her enhance her vocal skills and range. She has incredible insight into more than just what vocal notes to hit. She helps her students "understand what the song is about", tries to get them to relate it to their own personal story, and the end result is a vocal rendition that your child sings with heartfelt meaning and power. Just amazing!

If you want to improve your singing, come and work with Tammy. I am a beginner, but after just four lessons my voice is already much stronger. Now when I sing, I can tell right away when I'm doing something wrong and I know exactly how to fix it. The lessons are so practical-she gets right to work and doesn't waste your time. She picks up exactly what isn't right, gives very specific instruction, and is wonderfully encouraging. We record each lesson, which is great. First, I sit down and listen to the recording and can immediately hear what I'm doing wrong. Then I sing along with the lesson a few times during the week. I'm making progress much faster than I imagined. I'm so glad I found her! More, please!

As a guitar player without the vocal chops to match, I had tried voice lessons in the past but gave up after lack of progress. I had no idea what my singing voice was supposed to sound like. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Tammy and decided to try again. After only a couple of lessons I got it - I knew what my voice was supposed to sound like and what we were working towards. After one year my range, intonation, and tonal quality have improved well beyond any expectations I had when I started working with Tammy. I'm still learning and improving every week and Tammy has invigorated my passion for music and performing.

I wanted to thank you so much for your amazing attention and dedication in teaching my daughter!  It is truly beautiful to see her confidence growing and to see her perform in this year’s showcase was truly special!  You are doing some great work!

What a refreshing experience! Here I was on the eve of my 70th birthday, having sung in church choirs all my life and about to learn in one evening more than I ever thought possible! And I loved it! Tammy has an endearing, accepting and encouraging manner which makes learning fun and satisfying. What a treasure! Thanks so much, Tammy.

Like many other people out there I have had a passion for singing for a very long time. I have always felt that there was some natural talent in me but I could tell that I needed some help if I wanted to move forward. And then I met Tammy Frederick. Tammy's teaching method and dedication have allowed me to understand and trust my vocal abilities to a point I would have never imagined possible. Before I would simply try to reproduce another singer's voice and style because I didn't know any better and by the end of a song I would often be tired and sore trying to reach some of those high notes. Now I know who I am as a singer and with the tools she has given me I can easily tackle songs that use to intimidate me because of the vocal range and quality they required. The greatest thing about my experience has definitely been how at ease Tammy has always made me feel during our lessons with her incredible ability to make any correction sound like a compliment and her contagiously enthusiastic nature. Thanks Tammy!!

If you paid me to criticize Tammy, I think the best I could come up with is that she knows too many show tunes. But that's not even criticism to some folks :-) So this next bit, I'll give ya for free: Tammy is incredibly supportive -- I met her at Graffiti's when she was there watching another student's band. A few months later, she was front row center watching my band at the Cameron House. At lesson time she is funny, positive and great at what she does. Her technique makes a ton of sense and her approach will put you at ease. I've gotten a lot of compliments this year about how my singing is better than it was on the last record. So I recommend her to people all the time -- like right now to you.

Tammy Frederick is a brilliant vocal coach.  Her understanding of the way the voice works is comprehensive and clear and her techniques for getting the voice out work very well.  I found her to be encouraging, knowledgeable and effective and she helped me to sing after a lifetime of wondering how!

As a singer myself, I knew what to look for when seeking out a singing teacher for my daughter. After taking one of Tammy's introductory Simply Sing workshops, I knew I had found the right fit. Tammy is professional, knowledgeable, talented and a pleasure to work with. I have seen my daughter's skills and confidence grow considerably since she has been with Tammy, and she was recently accepted into an elite program based on the strength of her audition.

I've been working my way through #Vocal Hacks.  I understand the process of distilling a huge amount of knowledge, wisdom, guidance and caring into a very small amount of text and Tammy has done just that, soooo much packed into every paragraph and every sentence! I could read it pretty quickly.  But I'll be learning from it for years.  It will be an ongoing reference for me. Congratulations on this book, Tammy. You've created something that's absolutely outstanding.  You're going to help a lot of people to become better singers, or to become singers, period. Bravo!!!!

I have been taking singing lessons with Tammy for about 9 months and absolutely love the lessons and results. Having each lesson recorded is great, I find it much easier and I am more apt to practice. The lessons, as well as her concerts, have really helped build my confidence and voice. The whole concert process was a fabulous experience I will never forget! Tammy is an excellent teacher, always positive and encouraging but also making sure you are doing it right. I am extremely thankful that I found her.

Before I started my voice lessons with Tammy I had trained in a traditional method. I had to quit because I felt like I wasn’t singing with my true voice anymore and I no longer liked what I heard. But since training with Tammy I feel like I’ve come into my voice and I understand that each person needs to use what they have instead of trying to make their voice something it isn’t. It’s nice to have somewhere to feel perfectly at ease and if you sound terrible one day it’s ok because you’re just on the road to becoming the best singer you could possibly be.

Tammy is an OUTSTANDING teacher! She goes above and beyond to help you learn on your journey! Lessons are 1one on one and she takes amazing care and pays attention to every detail in order to help you improve! FULLY Recommend!

We both enjoyed the seminar – in a short amount of time Tammy was able to communicate instruction and insight into how the voice/vocal cords work. She effectively answered questions that we and audience asked of her.

I am very grateful I stumbled upon Tammy's workshop. I was eager to hear Tammy speak because there was something very appealing about her and her students had great reviews to share about her. The professionalism, sincerity, and passion Tammy resonated in her workshop impressed me. It was to the point, full of new and interesting information and her kind yet confident personality hooked me in - ready to learn more... and now I do!

I am in my third year of voice lessons with Tammy Frederick at Simply Sing Studio. Tammy is patient and encouraging in her instruction. Tammy helped me with auditon preparation for ARTS High School in which I gained successful admission. Weekly classes keep me strong in my program. Tammy has helped me to extend my range. Thankyou Tammy!

Tammy is a kind, caring and knowledgeable vocal instructor. She really does know how to help beginner singers get to the next level.  In a few short lessons, we noticed a HUGE difference in our daughter's singing ability and confidence.  I highly recommend Tammy's vocal lessons for any child, whether they are a beginner or extremely talented.  She will work with your child at whatever level they are at and help them develop the knowledge and skills that they need in order to improve their singing voice and persona. Thanks Tammy.

I wanted to find a teacher who could show me the proper technique to use in my practicing and performances. Fortunately, I was introduced to Tammy. I had no idea what type of vocal coaching she did at that time, but was told by a friend of a friend that she was a pretty cool person. When we did finally touch base and I learned of her vocal technique and background, I was ecstatic. I’ve been taking lessons with her ever since. She has never once tried to change me into something I’m not and has only helped me strengthen what I’ve been building as a singer. She is so supportive of everything I do that she is more like a friend than just a teacher or coach. There is definitely a connection, and that just enhances the experience. I’d trust Tammy’s opinion over many others any day because she is always honest and definitely trustworthy. I refer her to as many people as I can because she totally deserves the accolades. That friend of a friend was right too…She is a pretty cool person!

Having completed a workshop with Tammy I can say that she has perfected a method that helps you to focus in on the 4 steps that you use to sing. Tammy is instructive, knowledgeable, warm and professional in every way. No matter what you think you sound like, Tammy will help you Simply Sing better!

Our son has been with Tammy for 2 full years already and we are so pleased at how much he has developed in that time. In a fun interactive way Tammy  has helped harness his raw talent into a skill he has already used to secure roles in many theatrical productions. We look forward to seeing how the future years will help him grow as a singer even further.

Singing with Tammy is such a wonderful experience. She has a thorough understanding of the biology of the vocals and pairs it with an expertise on how to utilize your voice its best ability. Tammy breaks everything down into very clear and practical exercises that improve even the most trained voice.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tammy the past 4 years of my life and she has been nothing but positive, encouraging and one of the most optimistic people I have ever met. Best of all, she has helped me expand my vocal range and develop self confidence as a performer!

Tammy’s enthusiastic, yet gentle, teaching style encourages, and champions every voice. I benefited greatly from her in-class instruction. Her workbook, ‘Simply Sing’ is a wonderful resource.

I sincerely hope you will come back when we have a full choir. We have been talking about you and what we learned so much that the members who were away are envious. Thank you for all your help.

All my life I’ve coasted through education and life in general doing the minimal amount of work and preparation while relying on my talents. That is, until Tammy showed me the amazing results that can be achieved through the daily discipline and routine of her technique. In the year that I’ve been studying with Tammy I’ve amazed everybody who's been following my career as well as myself with the power, range, and control she has helped me achieve. And while in the past I would be content to settle for what I’ve achieved to this point I’m excited and determined to see the results of sustaining this training into the future. What I’ve learned from Tammy extends past my vocal abilities into every aspect of my life and has been one of the most positive educational experiences of my life. I would and do recommend Tammy to anybody looking to become a better singer. Tammy is a vibrant and fun teacher who is full of positive energy. My only wish is that I found her earlier.

Tammy, I thoroughly enjoyed the classes, even the difficult ‘lip rolls’.  Many years ago I started private lessons with a school and I found that your classes by far out-weighed the benefits I gained.  You are warm, friendly and encouraging and made someone like myself who has had no real musical experience in the past, feel at home.  Thank you very much for helping me ‘get my voice’ back to a singing level.

In helping my daughter improve her singing ability, Tammy Frederick chose songs that were suited to my daughter’s range and taste, making for a very enjoyable experience. You won’t find a vocal coach who is more organized and dedicated to her students than Tammy!

Over the three years I have been working with Tammy, it has been nothing but positivity and support! She has helped me work on my vocals so much, I have learned how to properly utilize my voice, expand my vocal range and be a great performer!

The workshop provided by Tammy Frederick was very informative and motivating. Anyone who is interested in learning how to get the most out of their voice through proper technique and form will benefit. The workshop gave an overview of how the voice works and tools to apply to get the most out of your voice. Tammy's overall presentation was educational, professional and fun.

My daughter and I have had the pleasure of working with Tammy for a few months now and I'm quite amazed at how rejuvenated we both feel after each session! The techniques and methodology that Tammy uses are quite unique and effective - I've never been able to bridge the gap between my head voice and my chest voice before. Thank you, Tammy, for your detailed instruction and positive motivation!

I look forward to that half hour every week with Tammy!  I have so much fun and I am actually learning about my voice and my “self”.  It has been a year since my first lesson; I still have a lot to learn, but I am having a great time. Tammy builds my confidence and spirit. I want to sing everywhere I go, although my family doesn’t want me to. I believe in the dream that they will want to hear me sing. Thanks Tammy!

I've recently attended Tammy's most recent Simply Sing Workshop and already I felt the difference in my singing when I applied the 4 things she taught us. Tammy's love for the discipline and craft shines through her and most importantly, she can definitely teach!

Tammy is supportive, caring and extremely talented, guiding all her students to achieve their full potential!! I've received so many compliments from many people on how much I improved in a span of months!

Tammy’s workshop was energizing. She successfully gives an overview into the workings of the vocal instrument and how one should be using it in order to maximize results. I  was impressed with her proficiency and professionalism.

Since starting my vocal training with Tammy Frederick about 2 years ago, I am much more in touch with my voice.  Before Tammy I went through many bad vocal conditions, due to the fact that I was not taught how to breathe and exercise my voice properly.  Now, with Tammy’s excellent training, cheerful encouragement and amazing enthusiasm – I can sing effortlessly!  Thanks Tammy!

For my daughter, I think the vocal lessons working with Tammy have done far more than just improved her singing.  Although I have seen a marketed improvement in her singing abilities,  I have seen an even bigger improvement in her confidence and presence when on stage and in her Marquee productions.  Although a very shy child, she now has a more confident stage presence when singing in front of audiences. Thank you!

After my first lesson I was hooked. I left the lesson knowing my current vocal capabilities and understanding where I could go from there, which was a definite confidence booster. Tammy is an honest, caring and considerate teacher. Thank you Tammy!

Tammy’s workshop was full of useful information. From breath to vocal cord connection and even articulation; I was able to walk away with a wonderful sampling of knowledge. Tammy was engaging and enjoyable and her presentation was accessible and insightful.

Since my first lesson with Tammy I have seen great improvement.  From a wider vocal range to knowing how to warm up correctly, Tammy has helped me become a better singer. With Tammy’s encouragement, upbeat personality and wide range of knowledge, Tammy is the perfect teacher for me!

I have had the pleasure of working with Tammy both in a group and in private lessons. I NEVER thought I would feel comfortable exploring my singing voice, but Tammy was encouraging, enthusiastic and truly believed that we all have a singing voice that is waiting to be released. I am more comfortable singing now, and I learned singing techniques and practices with Tammy that I use every day (whether singing in the shower, car or with my students at school).

I highly recommend Tammy and Simply Sing Vocal Studio. Tammy's outstanding teaching style is complimented by her warmth of personality and her positive, encouraging nature. Through lessons with Tammy my daughter has developed invaluable skills and her confidence to perform has increased significantly.

My daughter signed up for one on one singing lessons with Tammy. What I love is that she allows the child to pick a song that they want to sing which engages them and makes it fun! Would highly recommend Tammy!

My experience with Tammy was incredible! She always made me feel incredibly confident and comfortable in my voice in ways no other instructor ever had. Thank you Tammy for helping me achieve something that just a year ago I thought was impossible.

Tammy is a great coach, my daughter loves her and her lessons! She's been a student for over 5 yrs!

Tammy is totally awesome! She helped me really expand my range and develop great technique while singing. She helped me improve my voice a lot.

You cannot find a better vocal teacher. Tammy is amazing, patient and compassionate. Truly a diamond.
