Kate Baker and her work mean so much to me. Working with Kate has freed me as a singer. It has freed me out of thinking in technical terms and has taught me a whole new conversation with my voice. For years I’ve been a confused singer, between all the different techniques, classical, head, chest, belting… what not! Through my work with Kate I’ve learned to “think voice,” using her own terminology.
Kate listens and feels. She doesn’t just throw exercises at you and tell you to practice them daily to become the perfect singer. That’s why each lesson is completely different and specifically tailored to the singer’s special needs on that day, that hour. She is about the “here and now.” Kate is a devoted teacher who never looks at the clock when she teaches. It’s just you and your voice that matter. She gives the instrument the respect it deserves. Her vast knowledge about the voice and personal experience dealing with different issues and setbacks are a tool she uses generously and wisely.
For me, as a singer-songwriter who demands a lot out of my voice in my writing, versatility, control etc., Kate has been a guiding light and has helped me become more of the singer I want to be. She has helped me fulfill some of my most crucial goals and I know she will keep doing so as we work together; she has allowed me to perform more of the things I hear so clearly in my head, without fear and more importantly, without thinking — but with feeling.

Kate Baker is the epitome of what stellar vocal coaches are made of. She has a way with her students that no one I have ever met does. She tailors her teachings and techniques to the singer’s strengths and weaknesses and works with them to achieve the utmost of their ability.

I have been working with Kate since I was 13 and looking back now at 24, she has not only been an incredible vocal coach but a mentor and friend. I was on season 3 of American Idol in 2003 and she worked with me every day with song choice, technique, stage presence etc… aiding my success in becoming a top 50 contestant and being an alternate for the top 32 out of 100,000 hopefuls on the show.

A few years ago I ran into some issues with my voice with nodules and a vocal disorder that I was born with but was worsened by vocal abuse. The doctors told me I needed surgery or my voice would never be the same again. I called Kate again for help, as she is a voice therapist. She worked with me, released tensions and manipulated my voice in ways in which doctors’ heads would spin if they only knew what I was able to do after she healed me. I call her the “miracle worker.”

In all of my triumphs and tribulations that I have faced in the music industry, I owe it all to Kate Baker for making me the best singer I can possibly be!

Kate has gotten rid of my nodes in 2 months. I finally feel I am in great hands. My voice is now growing and developing. I no longer have vocal problems!

I've been studying with Kate for almost three years now. I cannot even begin to describe the monumental difference Kate has made in my sound, delivery and musicality. Kate's approach to voice therapy and coaching is entirely unique to any other experience I've had with prior instructors. She brilliantly tailors her lessons to what the voice needs at that moment under its specific, present conditions (i.e no sleep, too much coffee etc). She never fights against a voice but gently coaxes it through its natural sound and beauty. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to study under such a knowledgeable, enthusiastic and caring teacher.

Kate Baker saved my life. She is the only voice teacher I trust. I have been studying music since the ripe age of three. I've had many vocal coaches and master instructors but Ms. Baker set me straight. If there is a problem, she will fix it. She is the only master vocal coach who exists. She sharpened my ear and my vocals. I work because of her and I love her dearly! Thanks Kate… I owe it all to you!

Kate Baker is a fantastic teacher because she has a holistic approach that aims at not only correcting vocal issues but also helps with life issues that affect the voice, the physical being and the corresponding musical expression that can be changed as a result. In the six years I have been studying with Kate, she has on more than one occasion saved my voice from a number of injuries, including broken capillaries on the vocal chords (caused by belting too much when I did not know how to). She prevented me from getting
