I recommended Tara Simon Studios in the beginning when Ben Dell was there and he and my daughter got along well with acting lessons. When we switched over to Piano, they started not to get along very well and he asked her one time if she was dyslectic?!!!Who asks that to a child? She was still in middle school and she no longer wanted to learn the piano AT ALL. when the summer came she said she no longer wishes to return to BEN ...EVER. When she told me about the rude question he had asked her, I agreed and didn’t care for her to go back either. I don’t think he’s there anymore but this has been well on my mind as a mother because I should have confronted Ben but knowing me, I felt it was better left alone. After a year, she met a great piano teacher for less money but NOT at TARA’S Studio Who charged $175 a month and she barely learned anything. Thanks to Brenda Ganaway (her current teacher)My daughter now creates her own songs, reads music sheets and we enjoy going to her piano recitals. She also volunteers for Senior homes to play piano along with her piano teacher’s other students. Please train your staff to work carefully with kids and don’t have parents like me regret every investment in your business.
2nd reply Tara Simon I should have informed you for the sake of other children but when my daughter told me, we were on summer break or some break and we just chose not to go back. I sent you my info via Facebook.
3rd Reply Looking back at my payment history, Tara Simon Studios drafted $140 a month for a 30 minute session per week and it was $175 if there were 5 weeks in a month. As far as pricing, my daughter’s current teacher charges $15 for 30min sessions in her home which we preferred and $12 at the Ron Anderson recreation center for a 30 min session and you buy 8 sessions upfront. It’s about the good vibes and connection that a child has with their teacher. At the end of the day, We as parents look at the QUALITY of the RELATIONSHIP with the teacher that keeps the child interested in their musical journey. So if my daughter’s current teacher was to charge more than Tara Simon Studios, we will continue to support her business because every dime invested is WORTH it. I’m sure your studio is a better place without Ben. Thanks for the wishes.

It's a relaxing environment and I have much more confidence in my singing now from day one.

With all due respect Tara I am a customer therefore MY experience is MY experience. I am able to leave reviews based on MY experience. NOTICE that I did not go into detail as far as pay is concerned. You can think what you want by putting what you THINK is your customers personal info on the internet is unsat. I never disrespected you or your company in fact as I told you before in a previous email I would like to continue but I wouldn't be able to due to finding out MORE detailed information in the TARA SIMON STUDIOS POLICY document . I spoke to Tammy today a day after the funds were taken so that's ironic of you to put that out there so late. You don't remember me asking about the previous amount ? Obviously things were not 100% understood but before I could say anything you charged my card a different amount without my consent for THAT particular amount. I thank you so much for trying to help but I was still in the process of deciding on if it's what I wanted to do because of the month to month plan. I thought you were charging me for the ONE lesson. You didnt give me time to clarify anything you stated", Oh it's okay that the previous charge didn't go through I just tried a different amount and it went through". I was still in the process of asking questions because obviously things WERE NOT CLEAR. In the TSS policy theres only 2 skips per year. How do you expect me to make up those lessons with me telling you my about my work obligations. That's a ton of lessons I would be missing. I WOULD NEVER EVER USE THE NAVY AS A WAY TO GET A REFUND! Idk where you got that from but let me just clarify and let you know I asked if the registration fee can be refunded because I truely felt things were unsat and I could of used those funds for vocal lessons elsewhere which I'll be starting this upcoming Tuesday so that ended up going well. I just wanted to start practicing my vocals so I am able to sing at veterans ceremonies at this place I love volunteering at as it has always been something I wanted to do and me working on it today really touched my heart because that's one step closer to me getting better. I just didn't feel like a valued customer because you knew that I had less than a day to get things clarified but you had a bad attitude through out the process. Thank God Nikki ended up taking me even though you told me she was not able to anymore. She was truely amazing and patient throughout our vocal lesson! Hope you have a blessed day Tara.
