Who?
Whether you are a complete beginner who wants to learn the basics of how to sing correctly or an experienced singer looking for a vocal coach who can take you to the next level. I can design a vocal lesson that will work for your individual needs as a singer. Singing should be challenging but fun and my techniques are effective and easy to understand.
What?
During the weekly lessons we will cover all the essentials: breathing, support, placement, relaxation, projection, how to increase your vocal range, resonance, diction, how to warm up, general care and strengthening of your voice. As well as the perfection of interpretation, vocal style, phrasing, belting, tone, performance skills. And we must never forget the importance of music theory and sight singing all while building a music repertoire.
Music is my life and I love to share my love for music with all my students. Along with the weekly tasks to follow I also plan every week and lesson to be fun, interesting and challenging so that you too can love music the way I do.
When?
We will choose a lesson time and stick to that every week, at the same day and time. I ask that you pay for your lessons with cash or check at the time of the lesson.
How Long?
Lessons are either 30 minutes or 1 hr long weekly.
How Much?
Private lessons are $30 for each half hour.
What if?
If a lesson is canceled without 24 hours’ notice, the student will be charged for the missed lesson at the time of the following lesson. Emergencies will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. If an emergency does arise, please call me as soon as possible. Not showing up and not calling will not excuse a lesson.

"My daughter has only been taking voice lessons from Adriana for a short time but we can already hear a huge difference in her voice quality. Adriana is helping my daughter develop her mixed voice, perfect her chest voice, and strengthen her head voice. Adriana is upbeat, enthusiastic, and always professional. I would recommend her as a voice teacher without hesitation."
~ Marian and Sarah Hardwick"Adriana’s enthusiasm helps make lessons fun for my 11 year old. I often hear laughter and joy coming from the practice room. If my daughter could chat and hang out with Adriana the whole session, she would. Adriana also has high expectations and keeps my daughter focused. Adriana is in the moment listening and helping my daughter achieve her goals. With life happening and our schedule changing often, Adriana has been flexible and patient. In addition, Adriana exudes confidence and creativity which is a great example for my young girl to experience."
~ Michelle Hemela"As a parent of a theatre student at Bak MSOA I saw that our daughter Hannah needed outside vocal instruction to add to her theatre skills. Hannah enjoyed singing at home and picked up some basic knowledge while attending local theatre camp. As parents my husband Paul and I had some difficulty finding an instructor that was caring and encouraging to a young girl. We wanted someone who could intensify her passion for musical theatre! Neither of us have a background with music; so an instructor with superior communication skills and a willingness to answer our questions was of the utmost of importance. We wanted to have an understanding of the vocal journey our daughter was to take. Adriana Zabala has been everything that we desired in an instructor. She is always just a phone call away with an amazingly speedy response if unavailable. She has provided us as parents, with assurance and the ability to troubleshoot our daughter through moments of frustration as she practices at home. Hannah has a new found vocal strength, is learning to read music, and a heightened ability to project her voice to her audience! We give our highest recommendation of Adriana Zabala"
