Find Your Writing Tutor

I needed to find a vocal instructor because I'm the lead singer of a rock band. My struggle was keeping my voice strong between shows because after a gig, my voice was always scratchy and hoarse. Adria taught me how to use my voice as an instrument. I immediately learned remedy warm-ups and how to sing healthier. I never really had a technique to my singing, but she built one for me and tailored it to my unique style and need. She didn't try to change my sound, like some vocal teachers I've met in the past. She taught me how to optimize my voice in many different ways and she taught me how to speak better (which was a total game changer). She knows her stuff, and this fact is backed up when she teaches and sings. It's hard to find teachers who can change your life, and I'm really honored to have found such a teacher in Adria.

Adria is very knowledgeable about music, singing, songwriting, etc. You can tell right away, because she gives the best feedback and like.... she's an amazing singer herself!

From my first lesson, she just knew what to do to help me- from breathing to phrasing to dynamics to posture to song choice to expression- she continues to bring out the best in me. She inspired me to perform music I write too, which was huge for me. I never had the courage to actually share my songs with anyone and she brought that out of me! I'm SO happy I found Adria, because of her I'm a million percent more confident in my vocal and songwriting ability!

I always dreamed of being able to sing and my mom got me some lessons for Christmas. I was so nervous to sing in front of anyone , because I never really did before. Well, Adria put me right at ease!! She encouraged me and made me feel comfortable. She is always so nice and helped me to stop doubting myself so much. I'm sooo happy I found Adria for my vocal coach because every week, she makes me feel special and good about myself! She even encouraged me to get involved in my church choir, which I was always afraid to try-out for. I did it though, and I got in!!! Adria will help you become a better singer, even if you never sang in front of anyone before like me. Oh, and her studio is really nice too!

Very professional
On time never late
She has a very beautiful voice
She is patient loving and informative in her lessons
I highly recommend her!

She is kind, patient, flexible, and most importantly she listens to what your desires are and adjusts her style to meet those needs. She is also very good at explaining the importance of traditional exercises and does an excellent job of presenting those in a way that is a very comfortable way to learn.

While studying at ARC I bumped into Maryam. Upon realizing that she was a music major the topic quickly escalated to focus of degree. At the time, composition was what Maryam was pursuing. After listening to some of her creations, I realized that I had never seen such talent at a junior college. Selecting Maryam from the rest of the pack will forever change yours and your child's lives. She is a fine musician and is very easy to talk to. All the while songwriting and composing is her specialty and she is the best that I know.

Singing Lessons

It took awhile to get my granddaughter to singing lessons but now that she has started them, she is having such a great experience. She hasn't let us listen to her voice at home but we are waiting for that day when she will. All I know is, she is learning a lot from her teacher and is anxious to go to her lessons every week. Her teacher is a very accomplished musician and has encouraged my granddaughter to be able to try and develop her love of music through her voice. I am so thrilled I found her teacher and we chose her by her schooling and credentials. I don't know where these voice lessons will lead my granddaughter, if anything we just want her to enjoy the journey and if it helps her with her self esteem, that will be a great accomplishment. I can't say enough great things about her teacher, she has been wonderful for my granddaughter. I read what her teachers background has been and what she is currently doing, it meant a lot to my granddaughter to know that about her. We are very impressed with her knowledge and how she is handling my granddaughters lessons. Thanks for the great teacher!

Kortnee is a fabulous teacher! She came into our home and taught my 9 and 11-year old daughters piano once a week. Both girls thrived and looked forward to their lessons. The progress they made in one year with Kortnee was impressive. We have moved out of state and the biggest regret is that we can't find another piano teacher like Kortnee. We miss her and her enthusiasm for teaching music. Best instructor ever!

Kortnee is amazing!!

I actually take both piano and flute from Kortnee. Her energy is contagious and she knows many styles of music. She is always ready to support what I want/need to do and can give me a tip within minutes that will help me forever. I can puzzle over a phrase or mood, and she will immediately "get it". She loves to see me have fun, and loves to help me over the rough spots.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Brilliant! Enthusiastic and insightful. I highly recommend Zachary.

Incredible teacher and singer

Zack is one of the best teacher/performers I know. He understands the voice inside and out, and combines clear practical teaching with a holistic, whole-body approach to performing. I would highly recommend him to anyone serious about becoming a better singer.

Very professional and patient

Ms Olsen has been giving my daughter piano lessons for a year. She comes to our home and is very professional, timely and patient. My daughter has made great progression with her piano, she looks forward to her lessons and practices without me having to remind her. It's so convenient that she comes to our house, and she communicate with me . I would highly recommend her.

Voice Has Never Been Better

In my now four years with her, Ms. Olsen has been an amazing, kind, and awesome teacher to have and work with. If it wasn't for her, my voice wouldn't sound as beautiful as it would have sounded without her teaching me. Going from classical songs to Italian songs to now modern/pop songs, my voice has gone through many different techniques to help my singing become better, which it has. Overall, I have learned a bunch from Ms. Olsen and I wouldn't want a different teacher either way. I am really happy my mother asked me if I wanted to take voice lesson. Thank you Ms. Olsen! :)

A shining star

Cymbaline Olsen is a shining star. Her talent and energy is boundless. Her ability to calmly listen, to sculpt, and to mold vocalists of all ages, ranges and abilities is second to none. Many acclaimed vocalists have minimal strengths in terms of "coaching-up" less competent vocalists. Cymbaline, however, is a natural teacher. She is a rare talent in that regard. Cymbaline's strength is teaching and performance. Her expertise in music theory, vocal phrasing and vocal scales is extraordinary. Cymbaline can teach you that Yes...you Can Sing....And Yes, you will!
I highly recommend Cymbaline for your Vocal Lessons.
