Lin Harrison is a servant-artist who believes musical expression (especially singing) can be a catalyst for transformation in the lives of individuals and communities. The creative arts played a pivotal role in his life beginning in high school through participation in band, chorus and drama. He went on to receive college degrees in vocal performance and music education leading to his first job as choral director at his high school alma mater.
Studying voice under the guidance of William Fox (Young Harris College), John Ramsaur (Shorter University) and most recently, Dr. Oral Moses (Kennesaw State University) has fueled his passion for the art of singing and guiding others on how to nurture their singing gift. It is indeed a gift…we are created to sing.
Forty-five years of experience coaching vocalists in the choral, classical, worship, musical theatre and operatic genres has instilled in Lin an understanding on how to care for the Singer as well as how to share the concepts of Singing.
Performing Highlights include the musicals You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown, The Fantasticks, and the operas The Devil and Daniel Webster, The Marriage of Figaro and Falstaff.
