My daughter has been working with Michelle for 2 and 1/2 years. She has guided my daughter with her piano education with excellent detail, positive energy, and making my daughter feel relaxed during the lesson. My daughter has improved tremendously since we started to work with Michelle. Michelle is a great teacher and I would recommend her to anyone thinking about music lessons.
