“Chris Lehman is an inspiration. I wouldn’t be studying at the University of Southern California for vocal performance without her. I would always come back from our voice lessons inspired and excited to sing. Chris not only helped me grow as an artist, but she also helped me grow as a performer and a person.” Sara Frondoni, age 18

”Chris Lehman is a wonderful voice teacher. The proof for me was what happened to my singing as I studied with her and practiced between lessons. During each one hour lesson, Chris was always 100% present with me as her student. No distractions. She listens intently and gives unending guidance. Ideas to help improve confidence and vocal resonance emerge from her. She does not have a prescribed routine for everyone, but customizes warm-ups and practice suggestions specifically for each individual voice. I felt challenged always and there was an expectation of hard work at every lesson. But mainly I felt supported and believed in. When I returned to a summer Masters Program at Cal State LA, my teachers were impressed by the growth that happened during my nine months working with Chris Lehman. My jury performance went exceedingly well, and I could not have been more pleased.” Sally H. Dean, Director, Palomar Chorale and Chamber Singers, Artistic Director, San Diego North Coast Singers

"My daughter has taken voice and piano lessons from Chris for 4 years. She just loves Chris and all the expertise she has gained from Chris' instruction. My son takes piano and is always so proud of what he has learned when he plays at recitals and school programs." - Melissa Clark

"With great instruction from Chris, I've really been able to try more challenging music. I learn a lot about technique and then apply it to mastering more complex literature." - Laila Al-Shamma, age 16

“When I first started lessons with Chris, I had no soprano range. Within a year, I was hitting notes I never dreamed I could and was still growing vocally. Because of her teaching, I've been able to be a soloist with the La Jolla Symphony & Chorus, the Peter Sprague String Consort and Orchestra Nova. I've grown into a leader in both of the North Coast Singer's advanced choirs. I wouldn't have been as successful if it wasn't for Chris.” Aislinn Burnett, age 17

“Chris has helped my granddaughter, Kassandra, quickly develop as a singer and performer. Watching her at her first recital was like watching a flower bloom before my eyes.” Kittye Wallies, grandmother

"Chris is such a fantastic teacher! I have learned so much in just the short period of time that I have been taking lessons. She makes everything so clear and easy to understand. Lessons are always fun and I have really gained an appreciation for music. I am so glad that I came to Chris for piano training!" Lucia Vecchio, age 13
