Review:

Head, Division of Fine Arts, Coordinator, Music Program, Southern Virginia University

Taerra is an outstanding musician, soprano, teacher and advocate of young musicians. During her tenure at Southern Virginia University, she was a very popular private vocal teacher. She was well trained in excellent teaching strategies. Her students were always well prepared for recitals, juries, and master classes. Her students love her. She has a fine knowledge of repertoire. While here, she taught Music Fundamentals and Vocal Literature as well. She had leading roles in several operas, The Old Maid and the Thief and Soeur Angelica, while here, to name two. She has been a yearly participant in Roanoke Opera as well. Taerra is a superb colleague, cooperative, dedicated to hard work, an excellent model for her students, and a woman of the highest character. I give her my highest recommendation. Dr. La Rae D.

      It is my pleasure to recommend Taerra. Taerra is a wonderful singer who has a range of experience as a performer and teacher. As her performance career expands, she continues to strengthen her skills and bring fresh ideas and experience to her teaching. Taerra possesses a beautiful lyric coloratura soprano voice and has a lovely stage presence. In addition, she is a wonderful person who truly cares about others and is beloved by her colleagues. She has so much to offer as a performer, teacher and mentor. I highly recommend Taerra. Amy Cofield Williamson wrote on Mon, 08 Aug 2016
