She’s not only helped him grow technically but has consistently inspired his love for music. Through various challenges, Tamra has remained patient, encouraging, and adaptable, always finding ways to keep him motivated. We’re so grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, skilled cello teacher. Pt Cundick2025-04-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Suzuki Violin student, teacher, and parent, I feel I have a pretty good handle on what makes a good music teacher. Tamra is top notch. My daughter wanted to switch from violin to cello after 3 years, but we were living in small-town Idaho where our options for teachers were slim. Tamra started lessons with my daughter, mostly online, with occasional in-person lessons whenever we were in Utah visiting family. She was able to help my daughter transition so well, and really connected with her in a way that kept her enjoying music through the tough changes she had to make. She really handled my daughter's ADHD meltdowns well, and communicated well with me every step of the way. I'm so grateful we had Tamra. She is well-educated and practiced in music and pedagogy. Top notch! Adam Overacker2025-04-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamra is a superb cellist and a really wonderful teacher. Any student would be lucky to be a part of her studio. Vivian Mathias2025-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are going on 8 years having Tamra as our teacher. I cannot stress enough how much she really cares about her students. She makes sure they understand the skills they are learning whether you're 6 or 60 years old. She's very punctual and reliable, consistent, and she is always rooting for you to succeed. She does an outstanding job explaining materials at a level you will understand. She is also very professional and qualified in her craft. She has all the credentials you look for in a cello teacher and she is certified in the Suzuki Method as well. The overall experience makes all the investment worth it! I highly recommend Tamra! 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.
