Do you want to be confident in how you present yourself, be assured that you are communicating well, that you are using your talents to the fullest? Do you want to be appreciated and liked? Do you want to learn to love yourself better and present yourself always in a positive manner? Adria Firestone is a person who knows how to do that and how to comunicate that knowledge to you. Enthusiasm is not taught, it is caught, and from Adria you will catch it in a joyful way!
It has been my pleasure to catch that joy of living from Adria and share it through music. It has been my joy to serve as an accompanist for Adria for over twenty years! I have heard her share her vocal talent as well as inspire others with her skills as an educator and motivational speaker. You will love Adria and may never be the same again!

Your class was wonderful, as was the recital. I think the most exciting thing is that the kids are talking so much about why they sing and what is important about singing for folks. They were really jazzed by your performance and by your discussion in the master class.
Susan Dunn, Voice Faculty, Duke University, North Carolina
One class with Adria Firestone is worth an entire semester with another professor! You don’t teach the way other professors do. You want to your students to find answers within themselves as opposed to only finding answers in books. You throw your heart out into the universe when you teach, and inspire students to do better and to really work.
You communicate so intimately that it’s impossible not to listen to you when you speak — I didn’t care what else was going on when I was in your classes.
Greg McDonald, Alumnus, New Jersey City University
I must tell you that you were a total success. Our students were inspired and enlightened by your wealth of knowledge. It is not often that we have the pleasure of having someone of your talent and ability on campus to speak with our performance majors. I, personally, saw the difference in my own voice studio as my students began to practice more and became more intense with their vocal studies. This is why we would like to extend you another invitation to be with us for several days of teaching singing and acting.
Michael Rorex, Professor of Voice, Northwestern University
Your suggestions have already enabled me to feel more connected to the music I am singing. I feel free to be myself within the music. I wish I had more time to be able to work with you, and to hear the wonderful ideas you are able to share.
Andrew R Spady, Nebraska Wesleyan University
You are truly heaven sent. I feel a difference in my entire approach. I was conscious of my breathing and my core. Even though I didn’t feel that well I worked through it and got some of the best live sound I think I’ve ever gotten from myself thank you, thank you, thank you.
Cole Williams, New Jersey City University
