“Adda immediately and gently diagnosed me as singing material that was too high for my mature voice. We began work… in the dramatic mezzo and contralto repertoire. I found Adda’s knowledge and experience in opera to be extensive. She helped me enormously with my singing technique, especially breathing and posture, Italian and French diction, and phrasal shaping. Adda was also very helpful with my musical theater repertoire… and able to diagnosis the source of problems that had haunted my performances for years… Adda was also invaluable as a source of advice as to how to achieve maximum dramatic impact without straining the voice…Adda Shur would be an asset to any music faculty. She is knowledgeable, caring, and extremely enthusiastic. It is obvious that she loves teaching.”
