Description: Get started on your journey to vocal success by learning one of the most important basic vocal concepts, the major scale! In this video we cover the basics of Solfege (what is it? why should you know it?) and apply it through singing the major scale and its associated "bungee"—a series of increasingly large vocal jumps derived from the home note of the scale.

Singing

Adam has been teaching private lessons since 2011, and is currently available to teach lessons at home or at your location of choice. Adam has taught over 100+ students, and many have gone on to read sheet music while playing guitar, make complex musical arrangements, and sing with healthy technique and beautiful tone.

Adam received his Bachelor's of Music at Azusa Pacific University in 2017. Adam's teaching style encourages students to ask important questions, understand ideas at a conceptual level, and never to settle for "good enough" in place of "best." Lessons are always structured with your specific goals in mind, and can include a blend of a variety of topics to suit your needs.

I've taught many voice students of all ages at a private music academy. My voice students will learn important fundamentals including breath control, soft palette control, vocal anatomy, and solfege. In our lessons we will work together to accomplish your vocal goals as well as produce well-rounded musical skills.

Great teacher! We will keep working with him.

Excellent professor. Very patient with my son and my son is enjoying his classes with him very much. We are going to be working with him for a long time. 

Excellent teacher. Definitely recommend him. 

My son had been learning music from Adam for last 3 years starting at the age of 7. Any words can't do justice to describe how this experience has shaped my son's sense of music. My son plays multiple music instruments now and I believe few things with guitar and piano he is doing very well. Adam is not only a teacher but also an inspiration for my son and daughter. It has lead rest of my family including myself and my wife also to pursue at least one music instrument. Thanks a lot Adam for bringing music to our family!

Adam is an amazing teacher!! my son has learning disabilities which include ADHD and Adam is suoer patient with him and exolains things well in a way my son can grasp and retain. Our lives are chaotic sometimes and busy so it has been a tremendous help to us that Adam gets it. I highly recommend Adam as an instructor who will teach and guide and be compassionate.

Adam is patient and very kind. He explains everything in simple easy to understand terms.  He makes you feel comfortable even when you make a mistake. In addition to his great teaching  skills, he’s a talented musician.  I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor.

I couldn't agree more with the glowing reviews that have already been given. Adam is not only a talented musician, but he is a talented instructor. My 9yo son likes to talk (a lot!), but Adam is so good at keeping him on track. The other thing I really appreciate is that Adam is introducing my son to high-level concepts that he wouldn't get in school. Adam's subject expertise is obvious in the way he breaks it down and keeps my son interested. We've had two other vocal coaches in the past who I thought were good... until we started with Adam. He's outstanding.

Adam is truly an amazing guitar teacher! Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he has developed a great structure and plan for his lessons, while at the same time being flexible enough to meet the needs of each individual student. His way of explaining concepts is very clear and he's a very patient and understanding instructor. My 13-year old daughter is already learning a ton from him! Highly recommended!

Very Patient...super informative...humble kind Spirit

Adam has been a great teacher so far. He is really engaging with my 10 yr old. The material is dense but he breaks it down into easy to understand bites. We really enjoy these lessons.

Really love how Adam is building off of/linking back to the foundation and basic theory knowledge he's given me as we now apply it to different songs. Challenging, but a very comfortable and natural progression.

Having a lot of fun working with Adam on a specific song...great to be able to apply a lot of what he's had me working on!

Without fail Adam works with where I am...allows me to find my comfort zone immediately which results in me getting the most out of our 30 minutes together.

Best singing teacher anyone could hope for. Music is a complex and often confusing subject but Adam takes the right steps to make everything from scales, chords, notes, warm-ups, and music theory easily digestible. Highly recommend taking any of his classes!

Every musician should learn about the major scale! It's one of the most important concepts for us to learn, as we base all of our discussion about more advanced musical concepts on a solid understanding of the major scale. In this video we will cover how to build a major scale with whole steps and half steps, what a tetrachord is (and why you should care), and the order of sharps and flats (and how to get to a scale quickly with a few simple sentences).

Wondering how to get more notes for less work in your right hand? In this video I explain how slurs (also known as hammer-ons and pull-offs) work on the guitar! They are a valuable skill for all guitarists to know in order to economize our playing and to produce a distinct, smooth melodic sound on our instrument.
