CHILDREN’S LESSONS AT SLaS- SUCCESS STORIES

While many students just want to take singing and piano lessons for fun and enrichment, (and that is perfectly fine with us!) others have aspirations for professional careers on Broadway or in the music business.  Many Sing like a Star students have gone on to great success in the music and film businesses.  Here is just one example:   Katrina Abrams, Tricia’s vocal student, in some winning performances on the TV show Starsearch:

Hi Tricia

I just wanted to share the good news that my video was featured on the home page at Carnegie Hall Musical Exchange! And I am SO honored – Leslie Stifelman, who is Musical Director and Conductor for “Chicago: The Musical” on Broadway, wrote me an awesome note about my performance: ” Jonah I’m just totally stunned by how great this is and we are all so proud of you. This is a fantastic, epic performance. 

You are navigating so many things well – just the registration alone is a mountain to climb.  Every register was perfect, in tune and with great color.  Your breath control (how bout the long note with nice vibrato and tone) your rhythm, your diction, your overall storytelling – you really captured the frenetic energy and essence of what the composer was looking for in describing someone on the cusp of turning 13. 

I’m tempted to send this to JRB to see what he thinks!” (That would be Jason Robert Brown). 

Thank you so much, Miss Tricia,  for helping me learn to sing!

ONE STUDENT’S STORY- FROM NON-SINGER TO BROADWAY WITH SING LIKE A STAR!

The following story is just one of the hundreds of success stories from Sing Like a Star students.  Jennifer was a dance major at Pebblebrook High School when she came to Tricia, and did not consider herself a singer.  She worked extremely hard and within one year, won several LEAD ROLES in Pebblebrook’s musical productions against stiff competition.  And now, she is ON BROADWAY!  Here is the story in Jennifer’s own words:                                                                                                          

My life has been a complete whirlwind of blessings this past year.  I began taking voice lessons with Tricia as a dance major at Pebblebrook High School, and I have no doubt that she is the mastermind behind my success from that point on.  Thanks to Tricia, never having sung in a show, I proceeded to win the roles of Amber Von Tussel in Hairspray, Jolene Oaks in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Irene Roth in Crazy For You, and Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors.  I knew that musical theater was the career that I had to have. And because of  Tricia, and her amazing vocal technique, I had the confidence in my voice to go for it, auditioning for the Broadway National and International Tour of Bring It On: The Musical.  I was cast as Nautica and have since been touring the United States. This summer we will be performing in Japan!
I am forever grateful for the faith that Tricia had in me as a beginner.  In an incredibly short time, she shaped me into the singer that I am and constantly pushed me to my fullest potential and beyond. I am so very thankful for everything she does!

AJC Article:  Stars of Tomorrow Finalists Wow the Crowd at Fox Theatre-  Sing Like a Star student Meagan Sharp Takes First Place!

ATLANTA — The incredible voices of Georgia’s Stars of Tomorrow competition echoed through the halls of the Fox Theatre Sunday evening, but one voice in particular carried above the rest. Meagan Sharp,a vocal student at Sing Like a Star Studios in Marietta, GA, dazzled the crowd with her outstanding performance and was crowned the winner of Variety’s second annual vocal competition.  “The level of talent was off the charts,” said Variety of Georgia Executive Director Chase Evangeline Andrews.  Meagan’s flawless renditions of Shirley Jones’ “If I Loved You” and Bach – Gounod’s “Ave Maria” stole the show.

“Thank you Miss Tricia- your training gave me amazing power and confidence!“- Meagan Sharp

“Tricia Grey is an incredible teacher. She has given me a strong, powerful voice with great high notes. She knows how to build voices, and she understands the science of vocal production. If you want a teacher who can “do it” as well as “teach it”, a professional who will get you there fast, call Tricia Grey. You’re just wasting your time and money anywhere else! Tricia is the reason I am a recording artist today.” – Chantal Roberts, recording artist

“Tricia is not only great with professional level singers-she knows how to get the best out of younger singers too. My daughter had a “typical child’s” voice when she started with Tricia at age 9 and now she is a powerhouse- singing professionally, doing gigs all around Atlanta, and writing her own songs. She has been offered a record deal in Nashville, thanks to the vocal and songwriting instruction she received from Tricia Grey. We will be with her for life!” – Sandy Jacobs, mother
