About Kristen R.
Hi! My name is Kristen Reinsch and I am originally from Monterey, CA but am now a Utah native . I am a singer and teacher who loves music more than chocolate and can be found singing in nearly any scenerio! I started my music career in theater at the early age of 8 and haven't stopped singing since. I grew up singing and playing instruments with my family and I encourage my students to do the same. Having been both an instrumentalist and vocalist, I feel it is important to not only know how to sing, but to be able to read music and understand what you are singing. After graduating with a music degree from BYU-I, I feel I have the tools to teach these skills and more.
Through my years as a musician, I have come to appreciate many different kinds of music ranging anywhere from Broadway to opera to Jazz, etc. I feel this gives me the ability to cater to my student's individual goals as musicians. One of my goals as a teacher is to help you to learn to sing what you love while giving you the correct foundation to build on. Music is supposed to be fun!
I believe self confidence is extremely important as a vocalist. "Stage fright" is one of the most common things that holds us back from reaching our full potential. Singing with confidence makes you feel great, and sound even better. Sometimes it is all that's missing from a potentially amazing singer. I have helped many students overcome this road block and emerge filled with confidence and self assurance.
*** Lesson Details ***
Did you know that people can hear a smile in your voice? Smiling while singing actually produces a different sound that is pleasant to the ear. I want this experience to be fun for my students. I do, however, believe self discipline is a very important aspect of music. I will encourage students to practice regularly and come prepared to learn. I will usually request that young students bring a recording device so they can take home our lessons and practice. This also allows you to hear how you sound during lessons and reproduce(or improve) that at home.
During my lessons, we will cover topics ranging from technical skills, basic singing principles, ear training, sight-reading, to theoretical knowledge. We will also discuss voice maintenance. That said, I feel it's important to get out of the lessons what you want, so I don't have a set curriculum. I tailor each lesson to the student.
All in all, I am a patient, fun-loving teacher who will work hard to bring out the very best in all my students. I will neither push too hard nor be too lenient as we strive to reach the goals we have set together.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano and music books provided
*** Travel Equipment ***
I will provide some music for the student. I would prefer that the student have access to a piano and bring a tape recorder and notebook to each lesson.
*** Specialties ***
Although I was classically trained and studied opera in college, my younger singing experience largely involved musical theatre. I have always been told I am a natural on stage. I strive to instill that confidence into my students because confidence really is half the battle. I especially love to help students prepare for auditions!

I have been doing lessons with Kristen for a few weeks now and it’s amazing! I noticed progress after the first week. She is such a great singing teacher.


Kristen is like the nicest person in the entire universe. She is very knowledgeable and I love every lesson I have with her and learn so much every time. I highly recommend her, you will not regret it. Worth every penny.

We have had a great experience with Kristen. She provided singing lessons for my 8-year-old who has special needs. My child has behaviors and is very active. She worked well with him and always had a positive demeanor. Thank you Kristen for making lessons something we look forward to each week.

My son says, "Kristen is awesome because she shared the duck song with me." She is super patient.

Amazing first lesson! Kristen is kind and extremely knowledgeable!

Kristen is AMAZING! She's not just a voice teacher, she's like a vocal specialist. She has the ability to hear what her students need and then help them fine tune their voice. She helped both of my daughters unlock parts of their voice they didn't know they had. Another gift she has is the ability to teach stage presence and confidence that many teachers don't have. My daughter Emma says Kristen helped her develop her own unique voice and that she's very positive and encouraging. That made all the difference for Emma.

Very sweet and kind. Generous with time. Great teaching technique.

this is my daughters third lesson and she absolutely loves Kristen and her lessons. she comes home excited and can't wait till the next one.
thank you Kristen for making it a great experience for my Daughter.

Kristen was a great vocal coach. She was easy to work with and gave me several suggestions for improving my voice. I recommend her to anyone who is trying to improve their singing ability.

Kristen is just awesome!! She is concerned with all my singing needs and helps me get to the areas my voice performs the best for me and others.
She is flexible and always goes the extra mile to help me perform at my best.
Love Her, Ray Rhea

It was my 1st singing lesson and she was very nice and she made it fun .

Kristen is an amazing, knowledgeable vocal teacher!! Her energy is bright, very encouraging and supportive. She is easy to connect with and very respectful!! The explanations and direction that Kristen gives are clear and easy to understand. I would certainly recommend Kristen to anybody looking to better understand and use their voice as well as gain confidence in themselves... I know she helped me enormously with each of those aspects!! Thank you Kristen!!

Kristen is an amazing singing instructor. she has worked with my son to help develop not only his vocal ranges but also help with his ability to read music. She has the distinct ability to choose good music to fit his range while still requiring him to stretch to more difficult music increasing his talent. I have defiantly seen him grow since working with her vast expertise in music and vocal knowledge.

Kristen is a marvelous voice teacher. She has helped me to open up and perform like I never have before. I really love her down to earth basic approach. She is wonderful for sure !!!

Kristen is so wonderful to work with. She sees my needs and we work on my singing capacity. Kristen is always happy to adjust on days and times when needed. I love working with her and she is a really great person.

We had a great introduction and lesson for our first time. Kristen was very sweet and friendly. She created an atmosphere that induced learning and her instructions were right on for my singing style. I was really impressed I feel we will work well together to accomplish my goals!!

First off she has a beautiful voice. She doesn't waste your time in any way, she gets right to it when it's time. She helps you know what you need to do in order to become the type of singer you want to be. She's not only a good singer, but also a great listener and problem solver.

Kristen is amazing! She has a beautiful voice and she is a great teacher! She is willing to work with you at your own pace and has excellent exercises for you to practice at home. She has great suggestions for different songs to sing that will help you reach your full potential. I would HIGHLY recommend Kristen for your singing teacher!
amazing with confidence
Kristen Has a amazing way of making anyone feel at home and at peace. My daughter loves singing lessons and I truly believe that my daughter has gained confidence as well. This was the best gift I could have given my daughter.
Kristen we appreciate and recommend her
Excellent voice lesson teacher
Kristen was an excellent voice teacher for two of my daughters. She helped boost their confidence and willingness to share their singing talents by increasing their knowledge and abilities. She instructed them on how to harmonize and encouraged them to stretch themselves with different music. Kristen provided a fun and easy atmosphere for voice lessons. I would highly recommend her!
Clear instruction and flexible teaching style
Kristen was wonderful, she worked around my schedule and was an incredible instructor. I don't have much of a background in music and have a terrible ear. After trying to follow along with the notes on the piano and finding it difficult she recognized that I could hear the sound and imitate better when coming from another person's voice and she then would play the piano note, sing the note herself, and have me repeat it until I got more familiar with it all. Just an a+ teacher!!! I would definitely recommend her for any level of student and would be happy to take classes from her again!
Amazing and fun!
Kristen is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is always in touch with her students and teaches well! I love singing lessons and wish I could do them every single night!
Love her!
Kristen always showed great patience during our lessons. She is super encouraging and makes the lessons fun as well as effective and informative. She has a fabulous voice! I would recommend her to anyone!
Amazing
Kristen really has helped me to grow as a vocalist. Since starting taking lessons with her, I have increased in confidence and have been able to build skills that have helped me immensely. I would be completely lost without Kristen's extensive knowledge of auditioning and musical theater. Since beginning our lessons, my love for music has only grown.
Kristen is a fantastic teacher.
My daughter has been taking singing lessons with Kristen for a few years. Kristen has tailored her lessons so that the teaching continues to be fun. She is a reliable, accommodating, and talented musician and teacher.
Such a great experience for all ages!
Kristen is not only a great person, but also a great teacher! I have learned so much about my voice and I have only been taking lessons from her for about a year. She is also very open and puts you out of your comfort zone (In a good way). Her teaching style is very reliable and consistent which is great (especially) for those who have busy schedules.
My instructor was great. She taught me a lot in three lessons. I should have one lesson left, but the front office seems to think that one hour equals two lessons. Oh well.
Feedback
My daughter really loves her instructor and looks forward to all of her lessons. My daughter told me, "my lessons always go so fast."
