Testimonials and Reviews
"I was treated to a full weekend of Chris' lectures and teaching at the South Carolina MTA State Conference. With his warm and personable approach, Chris brings a rare combination of deep knowledge and practical, common-sense solutions. Whether addressing current trends, offering new perspectives, or providing tools for addressing everyday issues, Chris captivated the room with both his expertise and genuine passion for the topic. I left the sessions with a wealth of new ideas and strategies to incorporate into my own work, and I'm confident many others felt the same."

“Dr. Christopher Fisher was the conference clinician at the 2024 SCMTA Conference. He came highly recommended as a speaker by colleagues who heard him at the national conference…and by former students who have studied under him at OU. As a conference planner, I wanted someone who would speak to the broader audience of our membership. Dr. Fisher offered topics that touch the needs of all our members…not just for piano teachers but for teachers of all instruments…not just for the university professor but for the private home studio teacher as well. His lectures on motivation, fostering excellence, and preserving musical heritage addressed some of our teachers’ biggest concerns. We were encouraged to value what we do and to confidently share musical excellence with our students. Christopher is a personable, eloquent speaker, but he also interacts well with conference attendees…answering questions, eating with us, and connecting with our members. It was a pleasure to meet him and experience his commitment to music teaching.”

“My recommendation is that if you're considering Christopher Fisher as a Conference Clinician, don't hesitate! There are too many positive adjectives describing him to list, but among them are knowledgeable, cooperative, reliable, personable, considerate, and the list goes on! As the Conference Chair, I heard nothing but praise for Dr. Fisher from our NMTA members in attendance. Many thanks to Dr. Fisher for serving as our NMTA 2025 State Conference Clinician.”
