He proudly serves students of all ages, ranging from elementary-level students to adults. Adame’s teaching philosophy embraces the collaborative nature of private instruction while inspiring musicians, by implementing approachable teaching methods to teach vocal techniques that empower them to love their voices, both as musicians and as people. One of the teaching methods he proudly integrates is culturally responsive teaching by exemplifying his students’ culture, heritage, and backgrounds through the art of song. Adame is well-versed in teaching many singing styles, including classical, mariachi, and pop.

At Texas Woman’s University, he studied music composition under Dr. Paul David Thomas, where he premiered his Serenade No. 1 (2023) for orchestra, and performed several of his solo vocal works, later premiering the song cycle Requiem for the Heart (2023). Most recently, Adame has published a choral work for tenor-bass choir titled In the Night: Songs of the Evening (2025), being performed at the high school level and often taken to contest.
