“Miss Seele’s commitment to her students and love for the performing arts really shows in the time and attention she gives to each performer. As a parent and a volunteer, I’ve seen Miss Seele teach and encourage students who have never performed on stage. She often included her students’ ideas and input in each production. And the result each time was an impressive musical production that gave each student a moment to shine.”
