Singing

My mission is to help my students discover their own authentic voice and to empower them to use it confidently as a means of expressing themselves.

The voice is a means of communication. It is essential that we, as singers and artists, have the necessary tools to produce the sounds that a particular style of music requires. Only then can we sing and convey the meaning of the music as well as the text with complete freedom and ease.

My singing pedagogy focuses on functional training that allows for healthy, flexible and free vocal production. My background is in classical voice however I teach all styles of music including contemporary, musical theatre, pop, rock, jazz etc. I have taken all three levels of Somatic Voicework ™The LoVetri Method (2021) and I incorporate its principles into my teaching.

I started taking lessons with Adam through a recommendation from a friend who spoke so highly of him as a teacher. I was looking to take singing lessons to support some theatre goals I had set for myself as a writer, director, and performer. From the very beginning, I appreciated how comfortable Adam made me feel. I tend to get quite nervous when singing, and he has shared so many helpful techniques around breathing, opening up my throat, and warming up properly that I almost immediately felt more capable and confident.

The recitals and open mics are also a wonderful part of the experience, offering opportunities to perform live and put into practice the skills you’re working on in lessons. I highly recommend choosing Adam if this is something you’ve been wanting to explore for a while. You’ll feel safe and supported, while also enjoying the experience of working with someone so knowledgeable and experienced.
