I'm Farrah/ Coach Farrah. I don't know about you, but I started showing signs of my singing ability or musicality when I was about 2. Most of my years as a child and teen were all about voice lessons, singing competitions, and recitals. I was given the responsibility to teach a Latin song when I was 10 years old and had done it yearly as a form of gratitude to our local church. I taught little kids and girls to sing as angels for Easter. On average, I did it for 15 years, more or less. I was hired formally as a vocal coach in 2013, but I did both studio and home service. Most of my vocal coaching involves much practice, motivation for the students, persistence, and discipline. I can be a good friend to the student and even be their mentor in their singing career, but I learned that it's always best to stick to what is best for the student so therefore, expect me to be persistent, repetitive, and punctual. Attended school for pop singing for years, and workshops and had been a multiple champion soloist and vocalist (band), musical play leading role, and a TV contestant. I had gone through many pressures and learned to love and accept the nature of a performer. I say a professional with a "practice-based" approach to emphasize, encourage, and support 101% of practice, practice, practice. If this sounds great to you, then welcome to the incredible world of singing where you can learn and discover at the same time.
