Mrs. Bridgette Hallett

I have known Mrs. Childree over 14 years. I immediately became impressed with her dedication to service and her awesome musical talent. She joined our Sanctuary choir here at North Highland and immediately became a featured soloist.

She also acted as interim director until the present Music Pastor was hired. I have never seen a more diligent or talented individual. She sings all styles of music and has a range that makes her a tremendous asset.

She encourages individuals to leave their comfort zone many times helping them to discover hidden ability in song. She is a joy to be around and work with. Her personality is warm, giving and encouraging.

I highly recommend Mrs. Childree. Her years of experience and natural musical ability make her exception at teaching music

LISA MARCUM

I have known Catherine Childree for over 8 years now. I had no prior musical training and suffered from a terrible sense of stage fright. I have managed to overcome both these and now sing with the Ladies Ensemble now.

I've seen her organize, coach, and direct our youth choir and our sanctuary choir with outstanding results. Mrs. Childree has the remarkable ability to be able to relate to people on their level which makes learning and practicing both enjoyable as well as productive.

Her vocal ability is breathtaking. She has a range that I could only wish for. I've heard her firsthand instruct singers ranging from bass to first soprano and literally everything in between.

You'd be hard pressed to find another who can combine skill with organization and professionalism with personality which puts her students at ease and brings out the best in them.

TESTIMONIALS

From some former students, associates,

music ministers & parents

Brian Roberts, Director (NuBeginning Ministries)

As the Director of NuBeginning Ministry, I have had the pleasure of knowing Catherine Childree for the last two years. She has been a tremendous teacher and an asset to this ministry. I would like to take this opportunity to recommend Catherine for future vocal training and coaching.

I feel confident that she will aid in strengthening vocal weaknesses, intonation and breathing techniques imperative for the perfecting of ones instrument. Catherine is a very conscientious teacher and consistent in weekly sessions designed to reinforce the information that is given.

Catherine’s gentle but firm approach to learning makes it easy to grasp concepts easily and utilize the techniques that are taught in everyday life. Her advice has been a great help to our ministry team, many of whom have taken time to share their comments with me regarding her pleasant and encouraging attitude.

It is for these reasons that I offer high recommendations for Catherine without reservation.

Nadine Coker (TBK Ministries, Inc.)

"I've known Catherine since the late 1980s and have had the privilege of working closely with her in our church choir, small group ensembles, and solos. She is very dedicated in perfecting voice quality, tone and pitch. When she sings, she relates well with her audience; and when directing, immediate respect is given to her because of her impeccable ear for music.

Because she has such a love for music and understands the power of it, she always tries to instill in others her compassion and respect for this field of communication.

Mrs. Tracy Lugo

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Catherine while she gave my daughter, Rebecca, private vocal coaching. Catherine was always prompt, and very helpful in any further instruction my daughter needed. She had an awesome ability to make learning fun for my daughter. She provided all the necessary materials, even going beyond my expectations, for the development of my Rebecca's talent.

Mrs. Constance Howell

Catherine has an incredible gift in music. She is versatile in so many styles and ranges that her singing ability is extraordinaire. Her passion for music is her gift. I have known Catherine for over 12 years and have never ceased to be amazed at her ability in singing, directing or rehearsing.

She has an innate ability to see the gift in others and encourage them to push themselves to that place where they realize they have potential.
