"Our son has been in April's group lessons for a couple of years now, and absolutely loves them.  April has a unique ability to engage the students in learning.  It probably has something to do with her positive energy and the enthusiasm for life that exudes from her wonderful spirit!"

"Taking ukulele lessons from April was a gift from my grumpa - it was the best present ever. I love everything about April. She is a very good ukulele player and singer and I learn a lot from her. She picks great songs to learn." 

"April has always been the friend that can make you feel safe, seen and celebrated. As someone who is very insecure in her singing voice, April is the only person that has ever coaxed it out of me - and in groups, no less!"

"Working with April as a vocal coach has been a deeply enriching experience for me.  I came to the lessons feeling insecure and lacking confidence in my voice. April provides a safe and secure space, listening to me and understanding what I need. Always encouraging, she offers a variety of tools aimed at helping me grow and evolve.  Her knowledge of teaching and learning techniques, coupled with her own rich vocal and musical experience make her an excellent vocal coach for any level of singer."

"April is a wonderful teacher - encouraging, kind, skilled. She keeps the lessons varied, within a wonderful range of enjoyment and stretch to new layers of capacity. I have wanted to learn to play ukulele for years. With April's help, I am finally doing it!"
