Adrienne is a performing and recording musician and CCM vocal instructor who values understanding how the voice works physically, acoustically, and anatomically. She is accredited as a teacher of Mix Singing through the International Voice Teachers of Mix (IVTOM).

Adrienne believes in building a large vocal skills 'toolbox,' and that 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 specific 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's clients include 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.
