Liz Williams

Suzuki Violin TEACHER

Liz Williams is originally from Tupelo Mississippi, where she heard a bluegrass song on the radio and begged her mother for lessons. She began taking violin and fell in love with classical music. She teaches beginner violin using the Suzuki Method, and welcomes all students five years old and up. 

Throughout high school she continued taking private lessons and joined the Tupelo Suzuki Association, which taught the fundamentals of playing and preforming with a group. Liz feels her mission with teaching is best summarized by a quote from Dr. Suzuki: "Teaching music is not my main purpose. I want to make good citizens. If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart."

Melissa Seaman

Piano & Voice TEacher

Melissa Seaman’s love for music began in the womb. She was born into a multi-generational musical family where reunions are never without group sing-alongs and every member of her immediate family is involved in leading worship in their home churches. It is rumored that she sung before she could speak, so it is no surprise that she began voice lessons at the age of two and piano lessons at the age of three, or that she began touring and performing professionally while still in elementary school. With a music professor and worship pastor as her parents, her musical education started young and strong with opportunities in show choir, music theory, classical, musical theatre, jazz, gospel, worship, opera, ensembles, and even handbell choir. She started leading worship in middle school and went on to pursue a B.A. in Intercultural Studies & Music, as well as a M.A. in Worship & Renewal.

Melissa is highly involved in leading worship for her church and local non-profit ministries, and continues her musical education by picking up a variety of instruments. Currently she is working on learning guitar and baritone ukulele. It is her joy to join the Panharmonic Music Studio in continuing to share the love of music with a new generation.
