Michelle's Music Story
Michelle has been enjoying music for as long as she can remember and playing the piano since she was 7.
In addition to the piano, she learned to play the guitar, ukulele, recorder, clarinet, handbells, and many rhythm instruments. Michelle did her piano training through the Royal Conservatory of Music (Piano) and enhanced her music education by becoming a Certified Music For Young Children Teacher in 1997 after attending university. She has been teaching music for 30 years and absolutely loves her job! Michelle's Music (Piano) Studio is located in Kelowna on Dilworth Mountain.
Though classically trained, Michelle believes it is important for students to enjoy playing music they love. Many of her adult students come to her having played in their past and wanting to play for enjoyment. She curates music to get them playing and feeling successful. Whether sheet music, chord charts or lead sheets she will work with you to get you playing!
Michelle strives to create a safe learning space for all students. She strives to meet each student where they are at and move them forward on their musical learning continuum. Her goal is that her students leave their lessons set up for success and inspired to learn.
The studio is bright and spacious featuring a Kawai Grand Piano and Yamaha Clavinova Digital Piano as well as many other instruments.
Testimonials
Tracy
I have wanted to learn to play the piano for years and finally took a huge personal risk and signed up for a mini lesson with Michelle. After my first lesson I signed up to be a committed student! Michelle made my fears and anxiety disappear immediately by her warm and fun approach. She followed my lead and encouraged me, as I exposed my vulnerability, with care and kindness. My piano lesson day is my favourite day of the week! She is so knowledgeable and is incredibly honouring of the adult learner. I would highly recommend anyone, from beginner to wanting to jump back in, to reach out to Michelle!

Michelle is such a wonderful music teacher. Our daughter is having so much fun learning to play the piano. We are amazed at how quickly we can see progress. Michelle provides a very safe and encouraging learning environment for her students in a beautiful setting with grand piano. It has been such a joy to see our daughter grow a love for music from the lessons with Michelle. Our whole family is enjoying the benefits of more music in our home.

Michelle is an amazing instructor. As an adult learner, I appreciate her positive reinforcement and interest in tailoring her teaching to songs and techniques I gravitate towards, which makes learning easy and motivation to play is high. You wont be disappointed picking her.
