 "I would highly recommend Ms Lyndol Descant as a voice and piano teacher. In truth, we would hire her back instantly should she ever move back to Texas. Actually, we wish she was staying in Texas!

Her students love her; her attitude and professionalism are outstanding.

She has consistently been the teacher with the most referrals and any music studio would be lucky to have her as a part of their staff."

Larry Asher
Director, Pro Music Instruction 

We feel so fortunate to have had Lyndol as a voice and piano instructor.  I have 2 teenage sons who are both musically inclined in different areas.  Lyndol has a special ability to identify their interests and skills, inspire and challenge them to meet goals while using positive affirmations.  They both absolutely LOVED working with her.  She is a wealth of information and reinforces the importance of practice. They received a solid foundation under her instruction!
