TESTIMONIALS
“Cody had fun and he said he likes his teacher and is excited for the next lesson :)”
“Christy says she really liked the lesson with Francine and she can’t wait for next week”
Mrs Francine is an amazing teacher. She is very kind, passionate, encouraging and patient. My daughter is 8 now and she has been attending Creative Keys for about a year and her singing techniques have just grown and impressed. I am so thankful for all she is learning and improving here! I definitely recommend this place and the teacher for voice lessons.
Francine is really wonderful and my daughter really looks forward to her voice lessons each week. We are so happy we have found her.
My child takes vocal lessons with Francine. We look forward to her sessions every week. Francine is a true professional and she has a very impressive resume. But more than that, she has a great heart. She is one of my child’s favorite people in this world already. These lessons are so important to my child and have really built her self-esteem.
