“Kristen has a lot of technical knowledge, but also patience and empathy. I came to her after being frustrated with my singing journey, and honestly really dejected, and she's given me so much confidence! I really needed to feel safe with my teacher, and I definitely feel safe with Kristen. Most of the hard work still falls on the student (which is true for any teacher of any subject), but I've never felt judged for having a bad week.”

“Kristen’s teaching style has been a transformative experience in my past year. She has gone above and beyond to expand on my prior musical experience, which now has extended into a deeper appreciation for my own capabilities outside of music.”

“Kristen is an amazing teacher! She is so knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Our 10 year old son has taken voice and piano lesson with her for 2 years now. He is on the Autism spectrum and on days he is struggling, she has adapted the lesson quickly to meet his needs. One of my favorite things she does with him is connecting music to different emotions. I think this has helped so much with his ability to identify different emotions in peoples voices, even when speaking. It’s also helped him use different tones of voice to express emotions. She has also introduced him to yoga, which he loves and says helps his body feel calm and focused. I just love the connection she has made with him. He has grown so much through his experiences in music lessons with her. He adores Ms. Kristen and always looks forward to his lessons with her.”

“Kristen is one of the best singing teachers. She taught my daughter since she was 5 years old. We love her and miss her and wish she still lived in Mass. My daughter definitely enjoyed going to her voice lessons and would come back excited and would show me everything she learned. Kristen taught my daughter many different warm ups and what she could do and not do for her age. I had signed up my daughter because she loved singing and she would sing all the time but we knew she needed singing lessons. We are so happy to have found Kristen because we enjoy our daughter singing now and she sounds great thanks to Kristen. She also gave my daughter great confidence to sing with all her friends and knows that she sounds as good. Kristen also became a great friend to all of us and I would definitely recommend her to everyone. Especially any little girl that loves singing and enjoys singing every day, Kristen is a very kind and talented person that can really help you no matter what age you are. She can teach you anything from Disney songs to Opera etc. If I could give her a 10 star we definitely would.”

“I had her as a teacher back when she was located in Massachusetts, and she was very helpful! Incredibly patient and able to identify the problems that were holding me back super quickly along with a variety of ways to help me approach and solve them. She comes ready with a great collection of pieces and exercises that can be tailored to your vocal style and experience, along with great tips on how improve in your weak areas to become a much more talented singer.
I have zero reservations with recommending her wholeheartedly. She will definitely be the key in getting you to the next level of vocal performance that you are looking for. I am confident in the time since I've had her, that her experience, knowledge, and skills have improved dramatically due to her dedication and love of her craft so that she can be an even better instructor for any and all future prospective students.”

“I was only with Kristen for a short while, but felt like the 30 minute lessons I had with her, felt so much longer. I found her through a friend, and I have never had a singing coach in my 17 years of life, so I was nervous. I am very interested in opera and performing arias and to hear that she is an opera singer made me excited. When I had my first lesson with her, I could feel good vibes from her. She was herself and it was great because it made me more comfortable and I was excited to learn.
Kristen taught me many different warm ups and breathing exercising to help my vocals grow and do it in a healthy way. I still use these tools to better my voice today, and my voice has grown so much just by doing those tools everytime I sing. She taught me how to use different parts of my face and mouth, to better my vowels. When we would have time, she would also teach me some music theory which helped me understand how to count the beats of a song, so on my own I would know how. She also helped me get more comfortable in front of an people when I sing, which was hard for me for a long time. I learned how to act and portray a character with her help and guidance. There are just so many more tips and tricks she has that really help your voice. I thought I could never become the singer I am today with only a year or so of training, and I didn't have to go through pain like I thought I had to. Her tools were slowly but surely changing my habits when I sing, so I sing healthier and create a better sound. I thought when I was with Kristen she helped guide my training onto the right path. If you are interested in singing or opera like I am, I would go to Kristen. She for me was what I was looking for in a teacher. She is kind, funny and so talented that she can help you devolop your voice too.”
