Student Testimonials

I’ve been taking lessons with Michelle for over a year. I went in as a karaoke singer, and am now fronting a Journey tribute band(couldn’t even get through one song before taking lessons!), with several 2hr+ shows under my belt, and many more projects/shows to come. Without her, this wouldn’t have been possible. Beyond technical ability though, Michelle has taught me to embrace my true voice..and has given me a belief in myself that I had lacked for so long.

Michelle has been my daughter’s voice teacher for several years now. Michelle both encourages her and challenges her during each weekly lesson and it’s been such a pleasure to see my daughter grow in her talent to sing over the years. My daughter has sung in school musicals and talent shows and during recitals that Michelle puts together for her students. Each time I’m amazed at how much my daughter improves from year to year with Michelle’s guidance and coaching not just in her talent to sing but also her courage and confidence. Michelle is very talented, professional, and a wonderful teacher.

No question about it; Michelle has been critical in helping me become a better singer and I am only continuing to grow each and every lesson! While I had been singing for some time before I started with Michelle, I never felt like I had full control of my voice and knew that I had some issues that were really holding me back from where I wanted to be. She is so knowledgeable and attentive that even via Zoom she is helping me iron out kinks I didn’t even know were there and I am truly filled with a little bit of happiness every time I sing because I can tell I am getting better and breaking through previous plateaus. Cheers Michelle and thanks!
