LESSONS WITH ADRIANNE
Master the art of vocalization through song with lessons from an experienced professional.
Singing can be healthy, exciting, effortless-feeling, and cathartic all at the same time. Our one-on-one lessons link student goals with positive outcomes by developing an understanding of healthy vocal habits, production, and presentation of repertoire that fits and flatters the voice. Areas of study include classical, music theatre, folk, and rock/pop.
Adrianne’s voice students gain an understanding for proper use of breath, projection, ease, tone quality, diction, and confidence in solo singing. Adrianne’s piano students focus on proper technique, posture, phrasing, legato, sight-reading, and performance.
Adrianne’s teaching style is patient, encouraging, and enthusiastic.
TESTIMONIALS
Allen
My daughter has been working with Adrianne for years now and we couldn’t be happier. My daughter’s voice improved greatly and she is consistently landing solos and leads. I
highly recommend them!
Cameron
I’m so grateful to Adrianne. She tailors lessons to my goals as a singer. She has pushed me to new heights. I thought I was a baritone and she challenged my fears and I’m singing rock songs by Journey fearlessly now. I can’t believe my own growth. She will teach you so much about your voice.
Machell
My child has been a student for a few years now. They take both piano and voice. They’re doing very well and have learned so much while going at their own pace. But the most important thing is that they’re able to learn and have fun doing it. I’m so appreciative of that!
