Ann Martinez2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Baca Cello Studio is such a profesional and judgement free atmosphere to learn and improve your cello skills. Coming in as a late bloomer who didn’t take private lessons until my adult years, she was the best experience I’ve had for a private teacher Elizabeth K2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamra is an amazing cello instructor! My son has been with her for almost 4 years and has consistently made great progress, because of her experience and wide reaching teaching abilities. She has a variety of solutions that she tailors to her students with each new challenge they face. Not only that, but she is actively practicing in her field, which adds so much to her studio. Her love for the cello is very apparent. I appreciate her dedication to her craft! Aimee Birdsall2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter started lessons at Baca Cello Studio when she was 13, and the improvement we've seen has been incredible. Before coming here, she had a year of lessons with a violinist who said she could teach cello, but the difference since starting with Tamra has been like night and day — it's honestly like a 100% improvement. Tamra is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also patient, kind, and just wonderful with kids. She takes the time to work with my daughter on her school music as well as her assigned pieces, and always does so with such a positive attitude. She's consistently cheerful, encouraging, and creates such a welcoming environment. We're so grateful for her and feel lucky to have found Baca Cello Studio! Sharon Lee2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamra is a wonderful teacher and Cellist. She has made learning cello an enjoyable experience. I have always appreciated the patience she has always shown to me during my lesson with her as I am a slow learner. It has always been a joy to hear Tamra play her beautiful cello. She expresses such deep emotion as she plays. Beautiful. Brittney Rowberry2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son takes lessons from Tamra and he has loved it! He picked up the cello as just a fun extra thing but now does it as one of his main interest. She is wonderful to work with and we really enjoying being part of her studio. Helen Beagley2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son took lessons from Tamra and she was so organized and skilled. He would comment often how much he enjoyed his lessons and would leave feeling like he could tackle the next challenge without issues because of the encouraging way she managed their time. Highly recommend Tamra to any one serious about cello study! She is top tier!! Winson Pan2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s rare to find a teacher who not only instructs but truly inspires - and that’s exactly what my daughter’s cello teacher Tamra has done over the past 7 years. She has the unwavering patience, deep expertise and genuine care for my daughter’s growth. We are so grateful for the years Tamra has been having on my daughter’s cello journey. Johanna Loveridge2025-03-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice place to learn and play music. Lovely teacher, very friendly and truly loves to teach, children and adults! We love the Baca Cello Studio. Anna Dinsmoor2025-02-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamra is an incredible teacher. She worked with my daughter for 3 years (from when we moved to Utah until she graduated from high school) and helped her make great and consistent progress. Tamra is kind and cheerful and seeks to build an individual relationship with each student she works with. Most importantly, she is a top-notch musician and finds ways to help students recognize their own growth and not get discouraged when the going inevitably gets hard. Tamra was a perfect fit for us. If you are looking for a music teacher you can completely trust with your budding or experienced cellist (or anywhere inbetween), Tamra is one of the absolute best. I wish I had more cellist kids to send to her. Alexander Wilcox2025-02-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamra is an amazing music teacher, as well as a wonderful friend. I began learning with her when I was just 11 years old and have been with her studio for 7 years. I have learned much about my instrument and can confidently say I could play professionally if I wished.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 12 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
