PERFORMANCE COACHING

A very exciting portion of my work is performance coaching.  I have always been a student of my art, as well as a performer, and have consistently learned from the best in the business.  I have been inspired and taught by great conductors, coaches, incredible directors and most importantly, by my fellow colleagues.  I offer performance coaching for:

Adria epitomizes what “completes” an artist: commitment, perseverance, integrity to the composer, and most of all personalization with the character. It is not enough to sing notes...but more important is your commitment to the understanding and interpretation of the WORDS!

For many years you will wonder “what you have to offer”, feeling inadequate to express the intention of the words and music! But there will come a time when you know….and at such a time you will be able to add to your name, the word, Artist.

Adria will tell you from her personal experiences that all the above will not make a career. A career is built on the respect of your colleagues, your reputation for being prepared, your attitude to conductor, director and fellow singers and your willingness to “grow” in each experience.

You have, in Adria Firestone, a master leading you and may your path be that of enlightenment and enrichment as she guides you.
