Our Testimonials

I enjoy my lesson with Adam, they are fun and we make progress quickly. I look forward to each week and l am able to work on music I choose. I have received compliments on the improvement to my voice. For me the best thing is working on my technique and using the various parts of my voice instrument. Adam not only teaches me how to get the most out of my singing, he also taught me how to get the best out of me.

Adam takes the time to analyse, correct and enhance my technique. Teaching is second nature to him with endless patience, good humour and skill. Adam has an enthusiasm for singing that is contagious - after a lesson my energy levels are high and the sense that I need to practice even higher!

I came to Adam in a quest to find my upper register. Since this time I've hit notes that were previously in the realms of fantasy for me. He's helped me extend my normal range & encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone. I still have much to work on (and the bad habits of many years to unlearn) but I'm confident that with Adam's help I can get there. Adam has a great way of explaining not just WHAT he wants you to do but WHY. I look forward to continuing working with and improving my voice.

I have been fortunate enough to learn singing with Adam for just over a year. During this time, I have found him to be encouraging and patient but at the same time developed my voice through a variety of techniques and exercises. Adam is an extremely dedicated and intuitive teacher, who can pinpoint singers' weaknesses and teach the correct singing technique. Singing, I have discovered, is not just about the melody. It is a form of expression which ultimately can be shared and enjoyed with others. Adam has also helped me in this life lesson; through the enjoyment of singing, I am able to appreciate my voice more and reduce fear in my life. This is something I did not expect to discover when I first fronted up for the lessons. Adam teaches a variety of students and genres. This is evidenced by student concerts, which are a feature of his school. Students are of different ages, genders, levels and perform songs from musicals, opera, rock, pop and big band amongst others. It is a special privilege to perform in front of a live, friendly audience. I have thoroughly enjoyed my tuition with Adam and hope to continue to improve my singing with him. I recommend Adam to all who are looking for a special teacher to help them discover their voice.

- Belinda Lui

I have been attending singing lessons with Adam Wood since April 2011. Adam was able to zoom in on my vocal problems and has helped me to realize, address and make changes to my singing. So not only am I making better sounds but my range is also improving. The emphasis has been on keeping the tension out and feeling the correct passage of the breath by using various exercises in breathing and sound to demonstrate correct production of the voice. Adam is a knowledgeable, enthusiastic, passionate and conscientious teacher who always gives of his best and I have appreciated his help in furthering my singing journey.

Since starting voice lessons with Adam I have noticed a great amount of improvement in my performance ability. I have developed my own sound and learnt how to properly control my instrument. The best part about the lessons is that they are totally relaxed, one on one and I have the freedom to choose what I want to sing, something that I rarely had a say over with my previous singing teachers. I have been taking singing lessons for over ten years and I can certainly say that in the one year that I've been learning with Adam, I have learnt more than I have from any other voice teacher I've had before. There are more opportunities to perform and showcase my work and I believe that I have become a more versatile singer through the techniques that I have learned from Adam.

- Alana Rosso

Adam has consistently shown to be a patient, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and caring singing teacher. He has helped me develop my voice from the ground up. Many of his concepts I have been able to apply to areas of my life other than singing. Adam has a great ability to tailor his teaching style to the individual, and I would highly recommend his lessons to singers at all stages of learning.

- Emma.

My lessons with Adam are always great fun, very relaxed, yet he teaches me so much. When I first started with Adam I thought that trying to sing loud and pushing my voice was a good thing. Over the past two years Adam has taught me how to look after my voice and someone special in his life taught him these really important words "Never sing beyond beautiful. Thanks Adam for such great advice!

- Maddison Sullivan - 10 years

I have been singing in one form or another for the last 12 years. Before coming to Adam, I had tried everything to increase my range, technique and approach to singing - books, videos and online lessons; you name it and I have tried it. Finally, I approached Adam. The difference is now amazing, I now know how my "vocal instrument" works and Adam has guided me through a complete re-build of my voice. I am now able to correct my own mistakes and take on songs that were just a dream before. Adam is a fantastic vocal coach: kind, patient, caters to many singing styles and above all he helped me find my own voice and I now have the skills to continually improve my voice. My only regret is that I didn't approach Adam 12 years ago!
