April Middaugh
I am passionate about Music and Christian education! I was a Music teacher in 3 Christian schools (Guam and NY) for 20 years. I have taught K-12 General Music, Band, Choir, Ukulele, Music Theory and Music History, as well as private piano and ukulele lessons. I switched to teaching online in 2017 so I could stay home with our miracle baby boy. For the past 3 years I have taught virtual music classes for a local Christian school as well as piano and ukulele lessons via zoom. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Music Education from Bob Jones University and a Master’s Degree in Church Music from Pensacola Christian College. I am currently K-12 Music certified through ASCI.
