Student Testimonials
"Chris is a fantastic teacher. When I first started with him, I made more progress in the first few weeks than I had made in months with previous voice teachers. He doesn't just tell you what to do and give you exercises, but he also uses himself as an example, and explains to you why you are doing the exercises and how they help you. He isn't a taskmaster, but he does push his students where they are weak, as a good teacher should. Chris is also just a fun person to be around and talk with about singing, or music, or just life in general." -S.S.
"I have worked with Chris for two years, during which I was able to drastically increase my range, strengthen my technique, and improve my breath support. Chris is encouraging yet challenging, allowing me to enhance my abilities in a supportive and constructive environment." -M.H.
"I have taken voice lessons from several teachers prior to Chris and the best part about that is using all of their lessons to synthesize them into a cohesive technique. Not only did Chris teach me new things, he also helped me learn how to use what I had been previously taught in a new way. It was really great having someone who understood what I was having troubles with." -A.F.
"I had my best year in voice so far studying under Chris MacRae. He was able to help me expand my range, I made every audition I tried out for and nailed my end-of-semester jury. Mr. MacRae's knowledge of voice mechanics were invaluable, and I also appreciated his positive, nurturing approach to me as a voice student." -R.R.C.
"Dr. MacRae is a very instructive and helpful coach. He has helped me improve my skills in multiple different ways. I love getting to hear him sing, and hearing how he wants me to incorporate my own self in my sound... He genuinely cares about each and every one of his students. In all Dr. MacRae is a very masterful teacher." - Course Evaluations

"I have grown so much and have passed so many of the things that were hindering my success. There's a clear understanding and most definitely seen improvement with Dr. MacRae as my teacher. he is experienced and is not just a good teacher, but he is the type of teacher that holds you accountable for yourself and does not lack in coaching me to better my voice and practicing skills. Dr. MacRae has reminded me why I love music and why I chose this path for my life. There is no question if he is the best coach for me; all you need to do is listen to me perform and you will see the growing potential he has helped me develop." - Course Evaluations
"Dr. MacRae is one of the most fantastic professors I've ever had the privilege to study under. He is uplifting, kind, and patient with ALL of his students, not just the ones who display exemplary talent. It's clear to everyone involved with his studio that he is committed to both our own and his own excellence. Dr. MacRae is focused on the betterment of each and every student, and consistently achieves this individual progress. He not only reaches the goals of selective excellence, but he does so in a way that is kind and supportive - not in a rude or angry fashion - and this gives his students a level of joy and comfort within their own craft." - Course Evaluations
