Hear it From the Students
"Working with Adrienne is a true joy. She has an intricate knowledge of the voice and a remarkable ability to hear problem areas and make suggestions that are immediately helpful. Not only does she provide instruction on vocal technique, but also on performance and "delivering" music to an audience. She has a knack for drawing the best out of her students and has made a huge difference in our confidence as musicians and performers. We can't think of anyone we'd rather use as a voice coach. She is truly one of a kind."
- Steve and Susan Baumgartner, The Porch Pickers, Pine, CO

"Adrienne has a way of communicating... ways to improve, and I feel I have a real connection with her. Until you attend a workshop or class with Adrienne, you can't possibly know the level and depth of her knowledge. If you are interested in developing your style and your performance abilities, you have got to work with Adrienne."

"I had been looking for a vocal coach for quite a while and wasn't having much success finding someone in my local area (Northern England). My guitar coach recommended that I speak with Adrienne and I thought, I haven't seen this lady in the yellow pages, is she fairly local? "'Er, not exactly" says my guitar coach, Adrienne is in the USA. "When it was explained to me that Adrienne does a lot of work with students over Skype I was a bit skeptical, not particularly with Skype which I have used before, but with the idea of being coached from someone 4000 miles away who I would never meet in person. But hey, I thought, what have I got to lose, so off I went. "My worries were put to rest as soon as I first worked with Adrienne. My initial nerves were quickly calmed by Adrienne's patient and enthusiastic approach and my concerns about Skype being a bit impersonal were completely unfounded. As there is no time lag with Skype I could fully engage with Adrienne as if we were in the same room and of course using Skype for video conferences is completely free, excellent. "Working with Adrienne over the last few months has been a revelation really. I had been a guitar player who aspired to sing but my material was limited due to the limitations of my vocal range. Once Adrienne knew what I was looking for, in terms of extending my range, she very quickly got to grips with my vocal issues and within a few lessons had me going places I had never been any where near with my singing voice. If you could hear the difference in my voice a few months ago and now, you would understand why I called Adrienne "a miracle worker" after our last lesson. "As a result of working with Adrienne my confidence is much greater and the range of songs I cover has increased hugely. The warm up exercises provided by Adrienne ensure that I am no longer straining when I reach for those higher notes and I am much more prepared both physically and mentally when I perform." - Al Perry, guitarist and vocalist, Leeds, UK

"Adrienne Osborn has been coaching me for merely a few weeks now, but I have already experienced incredible results – She has helped me to get over my anxiety issues when singing live with methods that make me feel comfortable when I'm on the stage. It has worked wonders for me. Also, my singing is more in tune than it has ever been, which I'm very grateful for. There's no doubt in my mind that Adrienne has offered me know-how that I can't get from just any local singing teacher!" - Daniel Rothmann, vocalist and electronic musician, Aarhus, Denmark |

"Adrienne, I can tell you that your exercises are great! Yesterday I tried and recorded something and I sang better than usual, even though I have not been practicing technical exercises for weeks... :-) I think this is the direction - visualization that helps in forgetting about myself and my paranoias!" - Ico (Federico) di Francisco, vocalist and guitarist, Siena, Italy |

"Adrienne has an uncanny ability to zero-in on the exact exercises that I need..."
"I recently started voice lessons with Adrienne after a 4 year singing break, and within a few short weeks I am regaining my connectivity, range and vibrato! Adrienne has an uncanny ability to zero-in on the exact exercises that I need to transform my voice and further my progress. Each lesson is digitally recorded and emailed to me, along with the specific lesson notes, the same day - which is great for my practicing. Her Voice and Performance Forum is a great resource including many libraries of written practice skills to download. Adrienne's coaching program of classes and workshops, which I'm participating in, truly rounds out the picture. Her focused creativity and support as a teacher and talent as a performer is inspirational. I know that wherever I want to go with my voice - it's all here! I'm learning, really improving and it's a blast!"
- Zoe Rabinowitz, vocalist, Boulder, CO
"Kelsea has developed a confidence and poise that I believe is directly attributable to the positive influence Adrienne has had on her."
"Since starting lessons with Adrienne my daughter's singing has improved immensely, and she's having a great time. [Adrienne] definitely has a way with teenagers and I highly recommend her for anyone considering lessons."
- Mariellen Dionne, mother of young vocalist Kelsea Dionne, Boulder, CO
"I started working with Adrienne to gain insight on how to take my music career to the next step. Since working with her she has opened many doors for me, putting me into contact with someone within the industry to show me first hand how bands are booked, how events are promoted and how to network with the right people. Every lesson she comes prepared ready to assist with whatever agenda I wish to cover, ranging from topics from song writing to vocal coaching to career planning to just about anything. I would highly recommend Adrienne to anyone as she is very passionate and highly professional."
- Julia Schroeder, vocalist and guitarist, Boulder, CO
"Sing a song for Adrienne and she'll show you smart and successful ways to work to make it better. She's professional and personable--so your lessons are packed with information and fun."
- Susan Smith, vocalist and guitarist, Ft. Collins, CO
