April Lisette - AEA Performer
Is a Boston-based singer, actor, pianist, educator, and collaborator. Since my earliest memories, my passion for both soccer and music has burned brightly within me, igniting a fervor that began at the tender age of six. Little did I imagine then that these twin passions would become integral facets of my life's journey in community building, teamwork, and fostering a creative and inclusive learning environment. From the exhilarating days of receiving scholarships for soccer and music during my undergraduate years at New Mexico Highlands University, to the pinnacle of achieving my graduate degree in Musical Theatre Vocal Pedagogy from Boston Conservatory at Berklee—my dream school—it's been a remarkable odyssey beyond the realms of my imagination.

April Lisette Ball - Founder, Educator & Voice Pedagoge
My mission is to empower individuals to unleash their creative potential through voice and piano lessons. A holistic approach, rooted in science-based teaching principles not only nurtures artistic excellence but also promotes personal growth, curiosity, creativity, and self-expression, recognizing that true musicality goes beyond technical proficiency. So, whether you're preparing for auditions, refining your skills as an actor, or a beginner embarking on your musical journey, I am here to support you. Choose from in-person (Boston) or remote lessons to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle from anywhere in the world. Join me at Lisette Studios and let's create beautiful music together, wherever you may be. I currently have faculty appointments as an Assistant Professor of Musical Theatre Voice at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Assistant Professor of Voice at Berklee College of Music, and Voice Faculty at Brookline Music School (BMS).
