Email: suzettaglenn@hotmail.com
I am a Charter Member and Past President of EMTA. I’ve maintained a private studio for 25 years, including the years I taught at two universities. I’m located in the south Everett / Mill Creek area.
Voice: I accept child, adolescent, and adult students. Lessons for all students include standard vocal techniques (appropriate to age and ability) to safely build and strengthen the voice and, ultimately, to be the tools allowing students to sing with confidence in many vocal styles. I have successfully prepared students for auditions and performances in opera, music theatre, oratorio, choir solos, college auditions, scholarship competitions, school talent shows, weddings, and for the joy of accomplishing personal singing goals.
Piano: Because I believe that piano lessons provide the foundation for all musical explorations, I teach beginning through intermediate level students of all ages. Additionally, I offer coaching sessions for piano collaborators who work with vocal soloists.

Voice Faculty, Ouachita Baptist University, Arkansas, 2006 – 2016 (Retired).

My name is Tanya Otto and I earned my Master’s degree in music and teach the piano and music theory at my private and comfortable studio. I speak both English and Russian. I believe that every person is born with musical ability. Moreover, my 40+ years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels and styles assures that learning even challenging music can still be fun and rewarding. My teaching is based on the Russian method and I’m happy to work with the Royal Conservatory Program which standardizes 10 level courses of study and measures musical success. Above Piano Lessons Studio is located in Clearview WA, close to Bothell and Woodinville. You can get more information at my website.
