KH has studied vocal technique for more than 20 years (achieving a Grade 8 in Classical Vocal technique from Trinity Guildhall in 2016) and has nearly a decade of coaching experience. KH has a deep passion for voice lessons, wanting to demystify the often inaccessible art that is Operatic singing and provide aspiring singers with a strong knowledge of their vocal abilities and a foundation of technique that ensures vocal longevity and health.
Student Testimony (C, Student since 2023) :
Having Katia as a vocal coach has been so amazing! She brings a true vibrance to our sessions and makes it so easy to enjoy singing for someone else. I find myself looking forward to our next session even before the current one is over because it is clear how much she enjoys what she does. I came for help with my singing but lucky me, I'm also gaining confidence and the audacity to try new things (even if my comfort zone hates me for it). Really lovely person and I would definitely recommend!!
