Voice Lessons with April
April is a wonderful instructor that adapts really well to my child's specific needs. My daughter comes home so happy and singing constantly after each lesson. Elizabeth Tolbert wrote on Mon, 19 Mar 2018

"My daughter and I have been taking piano lessons with April for several months and we both love it. She truly has the heart of a teacher. She is so great with my daughter and her love of music is infectious. I feel very blessed that we were able to find her.

Musical Joy Children's Class
To anyone thinking about enrolling your child in a music/piano class, I highly recommend April! My son has been taking piano lessons with April for 3 years and I am excited my 5 year old daughter can start taking this beginning music class with her as well. April is a wonderful teacher who is great with the kids and makes lessons fun and engaging! Amy Nov. 2019 April Charmaine Seawell wrote on Tue, 26 Nov 2019
Beginner Voice Lessons
I knew nothing about singing and I was nervous. April guided me and was very receptive to me. She would adjust and is able to give you a challenge as well, all while having fun. Be open, trust her and all will come together. To me, she is a great instructor because she will take complicated information and break it down so that it makes sense to her students. Thank you April for believing in me and giving me confidence. Brissa age 34 wrote on Wed, 17 Feb 2021
