Testimonials

"It’s difficult to put into words just how great Dr. Tonya Holland is. She has a work ethic like nobody else, constantly running around from rehearsals to lessons to classes and yet always more than prepared. Tonya is a magnificent scholar, teacher, and friend and I would highly recommend her as a teacher."

-Kate Gibson
Vienna, VA

"Our eight-year-old daughter loves Ms. Tonya. This was her third year taking piano, but her first year learning with Ms. Tonya. Since working with Ms. Tonya, she has made leaps and bounds in regards to music reading and is playing much harder music. Grade school has been very hard for our daughter. We appreciate that Ms. Tonya understands these challenges, encourages, works with different learning difficulties, and teaches our daughter a love for music. Ms. Tonya is extremely knowledgeable and talented in her field and we would highly recommend her."

-Christine Say

"Tonya took the time needed to work with me and make sure that I felt comfortable in front of people. She worked hard, focusing on my strengths, and working on my weaknesses, but most of all, she made me feel like family. I have always had a hard time being in front of people, especially in such a vulnerable way, but Tonya helped me gain the confidence needed to be able to get in front of a crowd of people, and do what was needed of me. I would highly recommend her to anyone trying to hone their abilities, or even find out what they are even capable of."

"Tonya’s teaching methods have played a major role in my success as a musician. I began taking voice lessons with her when I was in high school and her techniques directly transferred over to the skills I learned when I was a music major at James Madison University. At that point, she became my piano teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable about her craft, and most importantly, knowledgeable about helping students overcome their own troubles in order to become successful piano players, despite my initial lack of ability. Without her teaching, I would not have had the confidence I had to eventually go on to accompany my own students in choral music classes."

-Corey M. Blake

"Taking voice lessons with Tonya has been a game changer for me. After just a short amount of time, my range has expanded significantly, I've got more breath control and volume, and I'm a way more confident singer. I feel like I'm just now learning to use this instrument that I've had my whole life."

-Ros O'Brien

"Dr. Holland is easy to work with. I’ve never wanted to come to any rehearsal without being prepared because she helps me take my singing to the next level."
