Introduction

There is no secret to singing - it comes from a lot of hard work and the desire to learn to sing with correct technique. Years ago (after having sung with less than stellar vocal technique) I was put on vocal rest for three months (no talking, singing, nada, zip!) while my vocal folds healed. I then had to completely rebuild my voice from the ground up. I am passionate about teaching correct vocal technique the first time around! I love hearing a student say - "That was easy!" Yes! Singing can be easy, when you learn how to do it correctly. These light-bulb moments are my favorite.

April has helped me so much with confidence in my voice. She is super knowledgeable, understanding, and explains concepts really well. I’ve seen myself improve so much in the time I’ve been taking lessons from her.

I'm currently taking lessons from April and I absolutely love her! She not only knows how to teach, but she can sing and demonstrate what she teaches. She understands how voices work and has a ton of experience with performing and training.

I highly recommend April. I started with her about 7 months ago and had no singing experience. When I started I was terrified (singing in front of others has always been my greatest fear) and didn't even think I would be able to sing at my lesson. April set me at ease instantly and I loved it so much I couldn't wait for my next lesson. I had been living under the assumption that singing should be as easy as opening your mouth and letting sound out and was afraid that I was going to not be able to improve the sound of my voice. I never knew all the technique involved. April is so knowledgeable and has helped me with proper technique. She is very skilled at being able to hear exactly what you are doing incorrectly and help you correct it. When I started I couldn't have even come close to hitting a G6, especially without hearing it first, and now the high notes are my favorite part of singing. The best part is I'm gaining more confidence every week!

I've been with April for 4 weeks. She's totally transformed my singing in such a short amount of time. I, also, really appreciate her belief in me and her authentic desire to help me be my best. I'd recommend April to any and all!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet for a quick 20 min lesson to ask the student their goals/reasons for taking lessons, and give them a taste of how I approach teaching.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance, and continue to study to further my own vocal training. I am also an active performer with solo, choral, film and stage experience.
What types of customers have you worked with?
My students range in ability from beginner to advanced, and in a wide age range from 10-72! Many students come from a variety of musical backgrounds, and some begin voice lessons with no previous musical training.
