I’ve worked with many voice teachers over the years but nobody has fostered both my vocal ability, and understanding of it, as have Ashley and George. I’ve had the privilege of working with both of them and each brings incredible insight.
Recently, I’ve started working primarily with George who specializes in male voices and his depth of knowledge is insane. He’s studied at Juilliard and with other famous teachers, but more important than his laurels is that has had a long and successful career as a paid performer—something most voice teachers I’ve worked with only know about in theory.
Whether it’s been pop or rock they’ve each helped me to learn ways to use my voice and to create music of my own without wrecking my voice (they’re big in vocal health thankfully).
Before them I never really mixed my voice and had some teachers saying I was a bass, others a tenor. After studying with them and learning to mix my voice (something that feels like a literal magic transformation) I’ve learned my true vocal type.
When you work with Ashley you get a diligent and patient analysis of your needs, then a calculated approach to meeting them. George is similar, he knows exactly how to get you to where you want to go, though he’s no nononsense thru and thru (aside from his anecdotes during intervals of vocal rest—which believe me are worth the cost of the lesson on their own, they’re wild and charming and show that he has lived a life full of intrigue, variety and dedicated study).
I can’t recommend these two enough—as people and as masters of their craft.

I was fortunate to be taught first by Ashley Adams and later, for a longer period of time, by George Fridlender. Both are superb musicians and teachers. Both are world class singers. Both are wonderful human beings. Ashley started by opening my throat and enhancing my confidence about my voice. George completed those tasks, and he taught me a disciplined approach to preparation. Moreover, after less than a year George left me with a modest repertoire of pieces appropriate for my range, including works ranging from Verdi to Handel to Mozart. I first asked Ashley about lessons as I worried about my aging voice. Now my voice is much stronger than its younger rendition. Because of these two I’ll sing (loudly and strongly) as long as I have breath.

As homeschool moms we go above and beyond to expose our children to the best education - math programs -gymnastics -art- all of it.
All 6 of my children 6-21 have been studying voice with Ashley and George for months and I cannot recommend them enough! They are the real deal. The kids all practice throughout the day. Every day! And can’t wait until their lessons which tells me everything.
Funny thing is Gino and I are also taking vocal lessons! Something I never saw coming! To all the mamas: treat yourself to a lesson! You will not be disappointed.

Ashley took many of my voice students when they went in search of a voice instructor to prepare for musical auditions. The difference she made with them in less than a year was unbelievable! I was very impressed as I sat through a recital and watched as student after student performed beautifully and confidently. She connected with these teenagers instantly! That’s such a rare and wonderful quality. Thank you, Ashley, for bringing them so far. Highly recommended!
