A Conversation with a Choir Member turned Vocal Coach and Viral YouTube Sensation Tara Simon

The Choir Room Podcast

Why aren't more Gospel choirs singing four-part harmony? Is it because many do not see the need for baritone voices? Is it due to a lack of training? If you've ever pondered these questions, this episode is for you! The team discusses why four-part harmony seems less common. Join the hosts as they explore the topic in this week's CRQ.
Our guest contributor, Tara Simon, is a renowned vocal coach, a YouTube sensation with over 1 million subscribers, and the proud owner of Tara Simon Studios. In this episode Tara and Greg mix it up for old times' sakes, and then unravel the significance of your voice in singing and worship, and the potential power it carries in transforming lives. In an inspiring narrative, Tara retraces her journey from a young child singing in her car seat, to becoming a successful vocal coach owning a thriving business. She shares unique insights about the nuances of singing, including the universal technique for singing through your accent in English songs and the importance of vowel disposition.
In this episode, Tara shares an uplifting story about one of her students who braved his discouragements and found his singing voice. We discuss the lie that one's voice doesn't matter and the courage required to make a joyful noise, no matter how imperfect it may be.
We also delve into the immense power of music in worship, its capacity to shape our memories, and its profound impact on our perception of God, ourselves, and the church. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to the joy of singing, the beauty of harmonies, and the transformative power of music.
