Chris and Carole's roots in music and the arts are as deep as their commitment to witnessing their faith to everyone they train. Chris is the son of a voice teacher and the nephew of the internationally acclaimed composer Samuel Barber (Adagio for Strings). His many years of experience with The Chicago Symphony Chorus, Lyric Opera, Norman Luboff Choir, Ray Coniff Singers, and Kay Star Show have given him an appreciation and adeptness for the rich tapestry of all forms of vocal stylings. Chris' formal training in voice came at Northern Illinois University, the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University, and with legendary choral director Margaret Hillis and voice teacher Harvey Ringel. Chris is also a gifted composer who has drafted such now classic worship hymns as Holy Ground, Holy Are You Lord, and You Are Worthy. Carole's background in dance, movement and ministry has given her keen insight into all levels of performance and presentation. Together their diverse talents and backgrounds have made them indispensable instructors to countless famous, and not-so-famous, vocalists.
