Kristin Henry
Senior Vocal Coach, Community Development Manager
Kristin Henry is a classically trained singer and voice educator with degrees in Vocal Performance and Music Education from West Chester University, supplemented by Masters-level studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, and has been teaching voice at Performance High since 2010.
Having transitioned from classical soprano to a veteran R&B performer, she has spent 25 years fronting the Boulder band Girls On Top! while collaborating with numerous regional theater and musical groups.
Her experience moving between vocal registers convinced her that a technical foundation is vital for every musical style. Kristin utilizes a unique "Cognitive-Behavioral Vocal Coaching" method, combining rapid technical diagnosis with a mindful, spirit-centered approach.
Kristin's Teaching Philosophy
“My mission is to help you discover and reliably use your ideal voice.
I invite you to become a ‘Compassionate Observer’ of your own singing. Reliability can be elusive because your body and mind change daily; success lies in noting these shifts and adjusting without self-criticism.
We will examine your breathing, resonance, and performance mindset. Think of my studio as a yoga mat for your voice—a safe space to troubleshoot, practice, and expand your limits under expert care. Any stumble or crack is simply a step toward growth.
I encourage you to be brave and reach for those challenging notes. With intelligence and humor, we will navigate every hurdle together to reveal your most authentic, powerful sound.”
What her clients say...
"I have been a recording artist for my entire adult life, with multiple gold and platinum albums. After taking a few years off, I discovered that my voice had changed with the passing years and lack of exercise. I have now been working with Kristin Henry for over a year and my recovery of my chops has been phenomenal."
Rick Roberts, Firefall and The Flying Burrito Brothers
"Kristin is more than a teacher; as a professional musician herself she is a mentor and has developed a personal interest in his well-being. We’ve taken a lot of classes and camps as a homeschooling family and feel fortunate to have stumbled upon the best there is in the area, in my opinion."
Lori D., mother of young client
"She takes a whole person approach to coaching and is helping his social and emotional development as well as significantly helping his voice talent. We couldn’t ask for a better coach as our son looks to improve his talents and decide whether to possibly pursue singing as a career."
Julian L., father of young client
"Her lessons have really been a joy and quickly have become one of the most eagerly anticipated activities of my week. I have left each time feeling more inspired and positive than when I arrived. She is making this sooo much fun while maintaining focus and keeping it productive."
Mark S.
"Since my son started working with her, he’s landed a lead part in a local play and she has provided ongoing support for that sometimes confusing experience. It’s been very helpful for me as a parent to have another ally in raising and guiding him, someone I can talk with about his progress, and I feel she has his best interest at heart, always. It is clear that we have found a lifelong mentor for our son in Kristin."
Lori B., mother of young client
"My vocal skill and confidence has increased SUBSTANTIALLY. Kristin has worked with me to identify repeatable techniques and cues to access parts of my voice I’ve always struggled to reach. She is both expertly discerning and encouraging - she has a talent and delight in discovering what works for each of her students and sees & treats each client as an individual."
Aliza S.
"Kristin Henry is the most amazing voice teacher I’ve ever had. With her teaching, I’ve been able to actually find my mix and nail songs that I’ve never been able to before. She’s a great teacher, but she’s also a great person in general."
Kaitlyn D.
"I have worked with a few different vocal instructors in the past, and Kristin is by far the best. Coming from a classical/musical theatre background, I didn’t know where to begin with commercial styles. Kristin has been able to help me adapt to the differences without compromising my classical technique. In two years I’ve seen way more improvement in my voice than I thought possible."
