Tanisha is so amazing! I took vocal Skype lessons with her when I was living in Arizona. She was always professional, kind-hearted, honest, fun and I saw MAJOR improvements in my voice. For such great results her lessons are also extremely affordable. I recently moved to Los Angeles, so I will be going back to Tanisha for lessons starting next week! I'm so excited for my face to face lessons. read more

Mrs. Tanisha is a pleasure to interact with. She made my son and I feel welcome. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to tailor her teaching style to meet the needs of different learners and different levels. Mrs. Tanisha focuses on building a strong foundation with the students to ensure they are capable of not only doing the skill but understanding the why so that they know how and when to use that skill in the future. Most of all my son looks forward to practicing and going to rehearsals every week! read more

We are homeschoolers who were looking for covid-safe piano, voice, and violin lessons. My kids had had very serious, at times harsh, teachers from a conservatory in the last couple of years. Taking lessons stressed them (and me) out. Eventually, they quit. We had heard so many great reviews of Whitehall from our homeschooling community that we decided to give them a try when we saw they offered virtual lessons. Our experience with the school has been amazing! The teachers are enthusiastic and encouraging, and lessons are low-stress. Now my kids practice bc they WANT to vs. bc the sword of Demacles is hanging over their heads. Music is now a source of pleasure and joy. 10 out 10 stars! read more

Tanisha is one of the best vocal coaches if not the best in LA and trust I've used all the top ones. ;)

This is truely an excellent program that I hope lasts many years to come! read more

White Hall Arts Academy - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

Tanisha is everything I could wish for in a music teacher for my kid - patient, kind but still structured and gets results! My son adores her and is making great progress towards his music goals :) read more

One of the coolest things I noticed when I first got there was that there was an old man learning to play piano. I knew immediately that was a good sign, and as I watched Tanisha work with him, I knew that she would be a great teacher for me as well. I liked everything about White Hall. I liked the location, the environment and the instruction. I did a lot of research on finding the perfect teacher for someone my age, who could read music, but never mastered piano. It's win-win with this Academy. read more

Tanisha is a completely amazing teacher. She caters to every student's needs individually and pays close attention not only to their ability but to their personalities. I've learned more from her than just how to be a better vocalist and how to play piano, but about the music industry and recording. read more

The lessons move at my own pace but yet I'm pushed enough to progress. I love the lessons and way the awesome teacher teaches.

I've had a hard time finding a vocal instructor for adults. It was always my dream to sing beautifully, but it seems like schools were just for kids or the classes they took were too technical and I felt like I was making no progress. When I found Tanisha, we clicked right away, she is cheerful, energetic, and encouraging. After the first couple lessons I could feel progress on my singing, she is great and giving pointers that really make a difference. I drive all the way from phoenix to LA every other week to have an in person lesson. So worth it! read more

Tanisha, my vocal coach is amazing to say the least, she has been very patient with me, especially with me having zero singing experience whatsoever. I have never felt inadequate with her, and the way she teaches me understand where I am vocally and what I need to work on. Her vocal exercises are very impressive and I find when I continue then until my next lesson I do much better in staying on the right note. Since I started my lessons I have developed and have gained more confidence. Tanisha's training me have gotten me better than when I first started. I still have a long way to go and that's exactly why I am sticking with her. Definitely recommend Tanisha at White Hall Academy. read more

Awesomely patient teachers, who are kind but keep my wily boys on task! Anybody searching for piano lessons should stop their searching and sign up now! read more

Tanisha and WHAA, we can't thank you enough for what you're given Che. He came to you with an idea of loving music and the piano, but your teaching, encouragement and patience have inspired him to go beyond... Now he not only plays piano, reads music, but composes classical pieces, plays jazz, R&B, pop, ragtime, gospel, singing, picking up conducting and more. What next??? Also, thank you for being hard on him when and where he needed it. Tanisha, you bring out the best in him. THANK YOU!!!!! read more

For those who really want to give it their all, this program will guide you towards reaching your potential. Takes the fears and ego out of it and teach you how to sing. Tanisha is my teacher and is really supportive, compassionate, funny and kind! I am motivated to sing songs I never would have sung before. I learned so much about songwriting. Tanisha is incredibly knowledgeable and generous with her time and knowledge! read more

A great first impression is lasting, i was pleased to know that i can practice and train my voice with a Professional person who knows what she is doing, i will look no further, i have trained with a few voice coaches and i must say Tanisha by far has captured my interest as a person that will get me to that place where i am comfortable with my voice. read more

Tanisha Hall will show you how to AUTHENTICALLY CONNECT with your audience in a deep down, emotional manner, and to bond with them very quickly. Regardless of your style, musical genre, or current level of experience, Tanisha and her staff are very qualified and caring, and they will provide the direction and guidance you need to accomplish HUGE musical goals (as long as you put in the work.) On Saturdays, this place looks almost just like Motown's "Hit Factory" did in Detroit back in the 1960's, with all kinds of talented future superstars in private sessions throughout the facility. If you want to become really great, and to master your artistic craft, this is the absolute best choice for you to do so. read more

I LOVE Tanisha & WHAA! Some time ago I'd lost some of my vocal range due to an illness, and had struggled for years to do something that was as natural to me as breathing. I had gone to many vocal coaches before, but none of them where able to tell me why I lost my range and how to fix the problem. Well I met Tanisha and she changed my life. She was able to explain to me what happened and since I have been going to her, I have gained an octave back. I am a true follower of Tanisha & WHAA! read more

My daughter has been going to WAA for years. The way her talent has been cultivated by Tanisha is simply priceless. read more

White Hall Arts Academy - Voice lessons. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

White Hall is a true gem in the Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw community!! Since day one, we've been treated like family and have been welcomed with open arms. My son is learning to read music and has been given the freedom to explore varied musical interests by taking lessons using different instruments. Through White Hall Arts Academy, he discovered his favorite and probably most important instrument of all - his voice!! read more

This is a great introduction to music for kids. My daughter is very shy and it really helped bring her out of her shell. She really enjoyed singing and playing with miss tanisha! She really takes good care of her kids. Highly recommend! read more

I called this woman three days ago to inquire about piano lessons for my 4 years old daughter. She first told me she didn't think she could help us because my child is so young and "may not pay attention" to the required private lesson. I asked her if she offered assessments and she told me yes, I could make an appointment for one free lesson. I then asked when could we come by and she said she would call me back in a hour. I asked who am I speaking with and she said "Tanisha". Well, I guess the sand hasn't ran out of Tanisha's hourglass yet. I find this behavior to highly unprofessional and though I called her because she has a Black owned business, I will check this place off my list. read more

White Hall is an amazing institution and my niece loves taking piano lessons here. Willow has been attending sessions for almost one year and has no plans of stopping. read more

Best vocal coaching! Tanisha is so personable & really pushes you to help reach your goals! My voice has improved so much because of her! No matter where I go or move to I'm sticking with her! Thanks, Tanisha! read more

Tanisha is great and she answers you, book you within an hour. The place is kept clean and quiet. The space has easy access to bathrooms, kitchen sink area, and waiting room! We has our audition there and we are going back for our callback and more. We went to LA from Bay Area. We were worried a bit at the beginning but it all cleared in the first meeting. Tanish was there on time and helped us with the space right away. It's a great space with affordable rates. Thanks Tanisha- Art lives in this economy thanks to you! read more

Tanisha is not only a teacher but a mentor; she has helped me grow so much as an artist and as an individual! She invests so much time into each one of her students, and has encouraged me to keep going no matter what. She is an amazing woman, coach and I'm sure there isn't anyone better out there for music lessons. It's about the musical education as well as the education of the whole person! She's the best! read more

Tanisha is an amazing voice teacher. One of the best vocal coaches I have ever had, and really cares about you and your career. She knows the biz, and she knows what you need. I highly recommend taking lessons from her, you will see results and have fun while doing it. Worth it! read more

I absolutely love Tanisha! I have been going to her for almost 10 years. She has helped me get out of my shell and sing! I couldn't thank her enough and not only is she a great coach and teacher... But she becomes your friend and really makes sure you don't leave without perfecting what you came in for! She's help me get a lot of college scholarships, and win competitions that I didn't think I could! Thanks Tanisha :) read more

WHAA is one of the best Arts Academy's in the Los Angeles Area!! Tanisha Hall is a gem. My daughter, has taken vocal lessons with Tanisha since the age of 11 over the past 4 years and her range and tonality improved tremendously. She is very personable, friendly, and knows how to bring the best out in the artist! In addition, Tanisha is extremely knowledge of Entertainment World. The school has exposed my daughter to performing to live audiences, recording tracks in studios and working on her artistry and YouTube branding. This is truly a great school for any inspiring Artist! read more

Tanisha is worth every minute of every lesson, every mile of the 40-minute drive, and every dime of her modest fee. My 13-year old daughter (excuse me, "about to be 14") has been taking singing lessons from Tanisha since early this year. After the first one-hour lesson, both my daughter and I walked away smiling from ear to ear. We were impressed and ecstatic, knowing that we were blessed to have literally stumbled upon someone of Tanisha's talents, personality, and passion for teaching. Tanisha is always cheerful and pleasant and has a great sense of humor. She is honest with her criticism and encouraging at the same time. I have noticed a marked improvement in the strength of my daughter's voice and her singing confidence. Tanisha teaches my daughter how to use her voice healthfully so that she can have longevity as a singer. She teaches my daughter how to overcome voice issues, like hoarseness from having a cold, to deliver a good performance in spite of the problem. She teaches my daughter what happens when her voice doesn't come out right so my daughter knows how to recognize and correct it herself. We went from Tanisha asking my daughter "What happened that time?" when she hit a wrong note and my daughter shrugging her shoulders with a blank stare to my daughter answering with confidence, "I sang from my throat and didn't support." Tanisha has challenged my daughter completely out of her comfort zone with great progress, and she teaches my daughter that it is ok to hit a bad note so she can learn how to fix it. She gives my daughter voice strengthening exercises to practice at home. Tanisha is more than my daughter's vocal teacher. She teaches my daughter how to "perform" in front of a mirrored wall which is helping my daughter feel more confident singing in front of an audience. Tanisha relates to my daughter with endless funny analogies my daughter loves. My daughter looks forward to every lesson, and she respects and looks up to Tanisha as a mentor as well as vocal teacher who, by the way, has an amazing voice herself and is gifted on the piano.that From the experience and progress that my daughter has gained with Tanisha, she is 100 times more confident with her singing than she was at the beginning of the year. Tanisha is awesome - more than we bargained for. You would be blessed to have her as a vocal teacher. We plan to start my daughter on piano lessons soon, and I'm toying with the idea of taking songwriting lessons from her. read more

This is such an amazing place for kids to learn music! I was lucky enough to discover Tanisha a few years back and have watched White Hall evolve into such an amazing place for the community. My kids have thrived in the group music classes, offered at a cost that ensures those of us with lower incomes don't miss out on great arts education for our kids! Even the private lessons are so reasonable and it's truly amazing how quickly my children have advanced. I love this place and am very grateful that we have been able to be a part of it! read more

Love it here ! Every instructor is very helpful and makes you feel right at home. They help you over come several obstacles such as stage fright, difficult breathing techniques and more. read more

Amazing music and dance academy! My daughter has been attending Whitehall Arts Academy for over 5 years. She has taken voice and instrument lessons. Everyone is very professional and pleasant!

The pricing is excellent! read more

White Hall Arts Academy, is the best kept secret in the neighborhood, if you want to properly learn how to sing, dance, act or play an instrument , this is the place for you.

Once you go there you will stay there for it is old school love and caring, with new school techniques and style. I am there for the long haul. It's unbelievable, of the things I've learn to do with my voice that I didn't know how to before taking a class. Ms. Tanisha is on point, serious, and a delight to learn from. Plus she is a treasure of a young lady to know. take my word, call in now for your appointment. read more

Tanisha is seriously the kindest, sweetest, most warm-hearted person I have ever met. She really pushed me out of my shell and encouraged me to grow comfortable as a singer. She's knowledgeable and talented in teaching music and gave me the tools I needed to continue to work on my art. Going to her lessons has been life-altering in the most positive way. Each time I left her lesson, I felt better about myself as a singer and felt like I continue to reach a higher potential. White Hall is THE place to go for voice lessons. So thankful and happy I found this place and met Tanisha!! read more

I've been going here for almost a year now for voice lessons and it's been so amazing. (This is about to be a thorough post!) Tanisha is an energetic, knowledgeable, encouraging coach that has re-motivated me to sing. I'm a transguy that was afraid to lose my singing voice if I were to start hormone therapy and now that I've been singing with her for this long- it's been very encouraging. I recommend her whether you're a beginner or a former regular singer wanting to get back at it like me. Lots of positivity. Support black women owned business. She's trans and queer friendly. She can coach you in songs in Spanish too! Can I say anything more? Also there is Wi-Fi! Get your ass over here!There's a 4 class payment discount and street parking is very easy so that's a bonus!! OK also for working adults, her schedule is flexible she offers weekend classes and evening classes which works great for me. OK I'm done now. read more

I enjoy the fact that my daughter can learn to play piano in our own community. Ms. Taniesha and Ms. Anya are great music teachers.
