April-Dawn Hendrix Wiemer

My husband and I married in December 2008 and live in Killeen Texas. I have been teaching elementary music for 20 years and private piano for 17. Patrick and I have no children, but consider our dogs like our kids. I enjoy spending any free time I have with Patrick, friends and family! I also have other hobbies such as working out, boxing, shooting, shopping and traveling.

After high school I attended Mary-Harding Baylor University in Belton Texas for one year. I then chose to transfer to Howard Payne University on a music scholarship where I had greater opportunities with music and playing the piano. I graduated from Howard Payne (Brownwood Texas) in 1996 with a degree in piano. I then moved to Killeen Texas and began teaching elementary music in Waco for two years. I then found a job in Copperas Cove which is much closer to where I live and have taught music there for 18 years and piano for 17. While living in Killeen I met my husband who was stationed at Fort Hood and we continue to live here today.

I have to say my most fondest memories were the times I was in band. It may seem corney, but my friends in band were the ones that I remember sharing time and laughs with the most! We may not have been thought of as the coolest organization, but I truly felt apart of something fun and special. Those memories are with me today and I will never forget all of my great friends.

I do wish that back then I would have been a little more out going and confident, because I feel I could have gotten to know more of you and would have even more great memories! I enjoyed my time at Canyon High School and truly appreciate the fact that I attended such a great High School filled with lots of successful people who I still consider my friends :)
