Vocal Coaching Sessions

In these personalized vocal coaching sessions, we’ll work together to enhance your unique sound, technique, and performance skills. We start with an initial assessment to understand your vocal background, style, and specific goals. Each session includes a tailored warm-up routine to improve range and flexibility, followed by focused exercises on breath control, pitch accuracy, and tone production. We’ll explore songs that resonate with your vocal style and work on interpreting and delivering each piece with expression and stage presence.

Throughout your coaching journey, you’ll receive constructive feedback and targeted practice strategies to support ongoing progress. Our open Q&A format lets you bring up any questions you have—whether about technique, performance, or the music industry. Vocal coaching is your chance to develop confidence and artistry, empowering you to reach your full potential as a singer!

What students are saying

  • As a somewhat younger self taught musician. As a performer I've experienced the music industry in all of its depths. I've spent years trying to find the right teacher. I knew 10 minutes into the first lesson that Kristen Maxfield is the only vocal coach I'll ever need.

  • Kristen ensures that your vocal lessons are completely tailored to your vocal ability and goals. She makes it an enjoyable process; very encouraging. Kristen is ready to "work" right at the scheduled time and gives you a full hour sharing her expertise and experience. I always leave feeling good about the progress I made with clear instructions (homework) on how to improve. An excellent vocal coach!
