“I first met Christian Lane as a senior in high school, when I auditioned for him as an applicant to Harvard College. Though I ultimately decided to attend Stanford University, Chris remained an important mentor and resource during my undergraduate years. It was he who suggested that I apply for the AAM grant to work at Trinity Church, Boston, an experience which opened my eyes to new professional standards and opportunities in church music. While in Boston, I studied privately with Chris, who helped me confront some of my bad technical habits as well as develop a “toolkit” for the interpretation of a variety of compositional traditions. He uses his knowledge, experience, and technical expertise to serve the music - and not the other way around! For these and similar insights, I am grateful to call him one of my teachers.”
