About Michelle
Miss Michelle feels the most important part of learning is that she and her students have a positive and fun experience while exploring the joy of music.
"Accomplished tones" are achieved through patient instruction and a desire for excellence.
Dreams are accomplished through sharing the gift of music.
Miss Michelle excels in her twenty plus years of teaching expertise by using each enjoyable session to bring a sense of accomplishment to all of her students. She is incredibly patient and works with young children, adults and children with special needs including those on the autism spectrum.
Her instruction includes preparing students to perform and preparation for auditions for New Hampshire All-State Choir, musical theatre productions, specialized summer vocal programs, and college scholarships. In all of these categories, her students have had an incredible success rate. Three of her students were finalists in the PBS Celebration of Music competition in 2018 with one student moving on to the Performance in California. Another student made it to a second audition of America’s Got Talent.
The curriculum she uses for piano instruction is the Bastien Series. It provides a strong foundation in music theory as well as teaching the student to recognize patterns through intervals, which is vital in sight reading. She also works with students in improvisation using fake books, lead sheets and learning to voice chords.

I love the process of things. It is most rewarding when the student understands a difficult skill and you hear that wonderful, "Oh, I get it!"
Also, the intrinsic value is priceless when you see all of the hard work come to fruition as each student blossoms and grows into a lovely performer.
Twenty plus years in private music instruction.
Bachelor of Music with a specialization in Vocal Performance from Texas Tech University. Private insturction with Marshal Williamson, instructor, who retired from Juilliard School of Music after 36 years and has now passed on. Mr. Williamson was the accompanist for Roberta Peters and a world-renowned opera coach. During her first session at Juilliard Mr. Williamson said, “My dear, you have a rare gift and there a very few of you left in this world; you must practice much and sing often.”
She also had the opportunity to study with Edwardo Brown, Opera Director, of the Fort Worth Symphony.
Retired professional Coloratura Soprano and actor.
Retired Director of Music.

The most important thing is for the student to feel comfortable with me. Relaxation is the first key to any good performance.
Many voice students feel a bit anxious singing in front of others, so, I help them to relax, let them know that as a vocalist it is natural to feel vulnerable because ultimately as a performer you are "giving" a part yourself to the audience. We then begin with basic vocal technic: "breathing 101" and after that we vocalize to discover their range. We spend the rest of the lesson having fun singing the songs of their choice. Each lesson moving forward I continue to help them to become excellent performers.
With piano students, I work with them to asses their musical level and abilities, assign the appropriate curriculum and then have fun teaching them to play.
