About Adrienne
Adrienne is a CCM vocal instructor and performing and recording musician who excels in bringing a technical approach to contemporary vocal instruction. She has been teaching voice since 2009 and is accredited as a teacher of Mix Singing through the International Voice Teachers of Mix (IVTOM).
IVTOM brings together voice teachers, voice scientists, and medical professionals to mutually further the complete understanding of the vocal instrument. Adrienne is also IVTOM’s Manager of Technology.
Adrienne believes in building a large vocal skills toolbox. Once singers can learn to use their voices without thinking about technique, they can use it to express themselves artistically and honestly.
As a teacher of mix singing, Adrienne uses a wide range of techniques to help vocalists reduce tension, sing efficiently, achieve as much power as they desire, sing smoothly across their entire range without “gear-shifting” across bridges, develop pleasing tone, sing appropriately for the genre, and gain consistency from song to song and day to day.
Adrienne also loves creating an encouraging, supportive, safe space for students of all ages to laugh, try new things, and enjoy their success.
Adrienne’s clients include other voice teachers, lead singers in local bands, touring rock musicians, adults returning to singing after a long break, and teens who write songs or perform in their school musicals.
