I took singing lessons from the age of about 10. The singing teacher was found through my school. Singing was initially suggested when I moved schools to a Montessori school and most of the other kids could read music and played musical instruments already. Singing was something I could pick up whilst I leart to read music and, I think, it has made my grasp and understanding of music much better. In terms of what to expect, when I first started we sang a lot of songs that I already knew, Disney songs and the like, but then I started to ask my teacher to sing other things, other songs I knew, we quickly moved into Jazz, which was something I enjoyed much more than songs from the Lion King. From there more complicated songs were introduced, I joined the school choir, I was in a Baroque chamber group and by the time I was 17 I was singing in Jazz clubs to make pennies. The for some reason I lost my confidence, and stopped…but ignoring that, it was the best thing I ever did, and also because I learnt to read music and read what the notes should sound like when I make them I can play other instruments relatively easily.

The place that I found and know about were the local church choir directors. They were often teachers and if not, knew someone who was that they could recommend.

i took vocal lessons for 12 years. the best place to look for coaches is really local school systems. most music department heads are coaches or have one on staff, like their choir director or at the very least, they may have the name and number of one locally to put you in contact with.
