Stephanie Barton-Farcas is AMAZING!

Stephanie Barton-Farcas is amazing! I've been working with her for three years now. She has taken me places in my career I never thought I'd achieve! I am repped by two agencies, I've done commercial and print work, I'm an audiobook producer for Audible and I've just been cast in a film. She is extremely professional. She also has a warm, comfy and honest spirit that motivates and inspires me to do what I love! I love what I do even more because of her. Stephanie's knowledge and experience is superb. You don't often find someone as talented as Stephanie that can teach so effortlessly. She always answers my questions, not only during our lessons. When I really need guidance she's there, fast! She works her tail off for each of her students and she's our biggest cheerleader! I'm grateful and lucky to have found Stephanie.

Eric is an excellent guitar instructor

Eric is an excellent guitar instructor. He gave me more material to study to improve my playing than any other instructor I've had. He consistently challenged me with new theory and practice methods to learn to become a better player.

trying to get a refund is like pulling teeth. I just want my money back from my very unresponsive teacher--so much work.

My teacher

My teacher, Galina, is the best. Every lesson feels fresh and she adapts to my weaknesses and strengths. She sees when I am picking up an aspect well and ramps it up, but still takes extra time when I struggle with something. I say it again, she is the best language teacher I have ever had.

Easy to use service

Easy to use service. I was able to find a voice teacher I liked and was fairly close to home. The payment system was easy to use as well.

Lessons cancel from mobile

It's not good that the mobile apps not be able to cancel the lessons, it was before.

I've been very please with using Take…

I've been very pleased with using Take Lessons for my voice lessons. The perfect local teacher was found for me, Charlotte Littlehales, and she is a great teacher.
I recommend Take Lessons to anyone wanting to get help for voice and learning to play an instrument.
