Tara Simon Studios, Smyrna

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition

We offer one-on-one private lessons in piano, voice, Film/TV acting, Voice acting, guitar, songwriting, and studio recording. We are the highest rated performing arts studio in Atlanta and are the one studio that offers students 3 showcase performance opportunities per year to apply what they are learning in their sessions on stage.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

Watching students grow into successful performers is what drives our inspiration as coaches at TSS. We are all working pros in the industry who have a heart for helping others become pros as well.

What do you love most about your job?

The light bulb moment. When you've been working with a student on something they were struggling with and all of the sudden in a lesson, they "get it". Their face lights up and they're so proud of the new thing they can do. It doesn't get any better for me.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

The most amazing moment for us as as studio was taking a student from the ground level and 4 years later, watching them debut on Broadway. That proof of progress and dedication is what we are all about at TSS.
