What People Are Saying
David Berkman
“I could not sing a note until I began lessons with Annie, and after about 18 months I have become quite a useful backing vocalist. Annie and the IVA method combine to get you improving at a rapid rate and it is a really positive and encouraging experience as well.”
Satsuki Minoda
“I love the freedom and control during the lesson and Annie's ability to constantly try and improve you. I've been able to discover parts of my range that I've never touched because of a lack of confidence and have started being comfortable with singing in my bridge.”
Dany and Eric
"It was so special to have Annie sing at our Australian wedding in Darwin. She sang her original song “There’s Only Love” which held a special moment for us as a couple." Thanks again Annie
Leon Lee
Annie has been such a support in my vocal journey. She is an inspiration and showed me how to negotiate my bridges (passage) and worked on my sustains. I have really enjoyed learning so much about my voice and now I enjoy my music career success in south east Asia.
Lewis Yang
As Celine’s parent, I have been extremely impressed with Annie's professionalism, expertise, and dedication as a vocal teacher. Under her guidance, Celine has made remarkable progress in both her technical abilities and her musical expression. She has a unique ability to explain complex vocal techniques in a clear and accessible way, which has helped Celine develop greater control, confidence, and artistry in her singing. I would wholeheartedly recommend Annie Higgins to any parent seeking a highly skilled and inspiring vocal teacher for their child.

#never thought sadness could be expressed in a ‘funk’ song but that’s just how I happened to write about it… #independantartists #solomusic #funk #acoustic #adelaide
I am super shy filming myself ☺️but this time..it was an awakening 💦

That escalated quickly.. 😘 she brings it to her first rehearsal ☄️ with an original song #gigready #singer #undiscoveredtalent #freshmusic #band
Hi my name is Annie Higgins and I’m recording this song as a rehearsal strategy - I play my original songs and Aussie covers live around Adelaide as a way to support our great south land talents. ⭐️✨❤️This is a Great song called Sweet like Sugar by an Aussie band called Uncle Jed. I love how it’s helped me practice how to play and sing at the same time. I’m working on a bunch of songs atm and would love your follow, comments and presence at my next gig! 😘🌙 #aussiesong #australianmusic #lovemusic #pop #acidjazz
A wonderful 40th birthday by the pool. Little bit of Landslide to kick things off. #partyvocals #singingforsupper #gig #40thbirthdaysinger #bookmeforyournextevent
You get to sing for so many different people! A joy to support those who work to keep peace in our nation and those that surround us. #singing #gigsfordefence #livegig #songs #anniehiggins
Great live gig @lovethegov A song about grief but ‘funk’ style. It’s about keeping it real when you’ve lost someone - people sayin’ things happen for a reason… it’s important to ‘just be’ in the emotions and not explain things away. ‘Can’t move past it’ means it’s ok to be where you are and not ‘move on’ but rather learn to live with it. Hope this helps you if you have someone you love go before you. 🌺 my baby girl is always with me 🌸 #honestsongs #adelaide #heartachesong #lovesongs❤️ #mystorymylife
Really loved this live gig @thewheaty 🌺A song about listening to your inner wisdom ✨pls share! Enjoying even.. the wise woman ‘voice’ inside. If you like, pls follow my music for news on live shows #wisewoman #freshmusic #mymusic #lovewisdom #singer #sing
Live @thewheaty A fun song about moving on …I def appreciate your follow or share if you prefer! We are prepping for upcoming gigs..
#jazzvibe for old skool girl talk … give him the flick - Pot of Gold ✨album on Spotify ⭐️ #singing #gig #musician #originalmusic #newalbum

So sad to hear that Virgil Reality has passed away. x He was a new and true friend and we had so much more music to play. Let the music go on where you are now Virg. Peace 🕊️
Awesome to see that I can bring my kids and they loved it just as much as always xx Great show #thirstymerc

Save this post to remind you to listen to the whole track ‘Pot of Gold’ on Spotify.
This turned out to be a ‘James Bond’ style song.
Do you feel the 007 Bond vibe?
Let me know in the comments!
I wrote ‘Pot of Gold’ to reflect how it really feels like to be a woman who bravely carves out her own path - The Fem Fatale bond #listen #jamesbond #jamesbond007
Adelaide you have welcomed me like no other state. 😍 Mwa! Follow me @anniehigginsmusic for more tunes and show dates #show #tunes #ringtone

This was my first experience of creating a music video. A long way from school pick up but equally important to sign about the unconditional love that comes from Bernie and the kids.
I’d love to hear what you think of this song (I don’t mind so much about what you think of how I look) that was just fun dressing up 😂😂😎
#freshmusic #brandnewsong
Girl power gigs!
Love this amazing woman who drums like a dream. Grateful

Covid throwback.. we sang for Heartkids via zoom
Wise woman is my fav single with new video out shortly … 🙌

I was so lucky having Luke Gerber at my side writing and recording the album. Just an inside look into a ‘kind’ producer who is skilled in making you feel at ease.
Follow on YouTube for official film clip Annie Higgins ‘There’s Only Love’ link in bio 😍

If you think you can or think you can’t, you are right.
I’m going to keep on trying to share the music. Let me know what you’d like to hear in the comments 🔥 #keepbelieving #singforsupper
Life is what u make it, recording while the kids are at school is my way of making it happen.

It’s like… you can keep up the status quo, or have a real conversation and grow

I’m taking a mini break … and not doing much (which is actually challenging!)
Let me know in the comments if this song gets you in the chill / holiday zone …it will make my day!
#chillzone #livemusician #takeabreak #holiday
Writing and recording this song was like mirroring all the beautiful conversations over the years.
So many women, mothers, friends, sisters and friends all speak through these lyrics.
It may go to mantra if I hear the doubts creep in.
#wise #woman #wisdom #brave
I met a ‘now’ friend who I didn’t like on first impression but that’s because they didn’t sugar coat themselves and now I see how earthy they really are!
I leaned to always give people time to reveal who they are once you prove yourself trust worthy.

Being a busy mum, working full time I find it really challenging to keep on singing, but that’s what all the amazing band members I’ve worked with and currently being mentored by allow me to do.
