Interestingly, when she first started she didn’t have good pitch, but it was obvious that she was working on it and had a very good musical education. I told people around me that if she stuck with it, she was going to be an incredible performer. I’m glad I was right, and people who don’t get how good she really is are musically ignorant.

She does still occasionally have pitch issues, but it's so much better than it was and she's finally gotten the hang of supported breathing (this was her major issue with pitch, so it's not exactly a surprise that fixing one mostly fixed the other). It's been a privilege watching her grow into her talent.

This was one case of being a wunderkind working against her. Singing is one of the only musical talents that are better taught later in life; ie your twenties. My singing teacher (a PHD who taught at a major university but gave lessons on the side) used to refuse girls who hadn't started their period and boys whose voices hadn't broken, because of how delicate the vocal chords are and anatomy in general still growing. You wouldn't play on a half-finished violin, right? She and every other voice coach I talked to preferred people start formal singing lessons at 18.

Then around the time Glee came out so many kids wanted singing lessons that my teacher did start taking them on as students, under the idea that at least she could keep them from ruining their voices like what happened under less careful coaching. I remember her telling me she only allowed half hour lessons and spent 15 minutes of it teaching kids how to read music. She only allowed very gentle practice and mostly worked on proper breathing.

Anyway, to bring this back to Taylor, she's probably best described as a mezzo soprano, which means she's smack in the middle of her best singing years right now.
