So You’re Thinking About Music Lessons

Do you feel the urge to hum, whistle, or move whenever you hear music? Are you scared you’re not talented enough or missed your chance to be a musician? Do you hold back in your daily life because you fear no one cares about your opinion? Maybe you’ve been passed over for an opportunity you wanted? Are you dissatisfied, bored, or restless?

What if I told you that it’s not just you, and you don’t have to fight it?

Like so many of my students, I was an adult that knew there had to be more to life than just working and keeping my body alive. However, I thought being an adult meant having an emergency fund and working a “professional” job. And, guess what. I was bored!

With music lessons, you can rediscover your sense of play and curiosity while building your confidence. Moreover, through music, you can learn to practice and make mistakes without judgment. It’s all part of the learning process!

A Place to Focus on Your Goals

During weekly music lessons, you’ll get:

  • Expert training and support so you can build up your musical muscles.

  • Professional assessment of your musical strengths and feedback in plain English so you can take ownership of your musicianship now.

  • Proven performance strategies so you can feel comfortable in any spotlight.

  • Evidence of your musical success, so you can confidently put yourself forward and achieve your goals in all aspects of life.

  • Permission to play with which styles feel the most like you, so you can claim ownership of your authentic sound.

  • Weekly 30-minute lessons for voice, violin, viola or cello. Together, we’ll assess your musical strengths and aspirations so we can develop your personal sound.

  • Weekly 45-minute lessons for voice or violin are designed for students that want to dig deeper. Based on your interests, we incorporate music composition, theory, improvisation and performance techniques, so you can develop the skills to fully express yourself musically.

  • Two, back-to-back half-hour lessons on two different instruments. These lessons total 60 minutes and can include a combination of any two voice, violin, viola and cello.

  • One-off 45-minute or 60-minute music lessons available for voice, violin, viola or cello. Great for those preparing for an audition or with extra busy schedules.

“[My daughter] has been seeing Michelle for a year now, and we such an improvement in her confidence, technique, and musical curiosity. I totally recommend Michelle!”

Starting music lessons can be scary – after all, all new things can be a bit daunting. I get it, that’s why all new students’ first session is free. The first lesson is a healthy dose of getting to know you with some ‘what do you already know’ and a dash of ‘do we get along?’. Not every teacher-student match is a good fit, and that’s ok! I’m here to help you build your musical muscles and maybe have some fun in the process. So let’s chat!

If you have questions, then I’m happy to talk through them with you. Moreover, I never want cost to keep you or your child from the joy of fully expressing themselves. If cost is a barrier, we can find a solution. What are you waiting for?
