“What an amazing recital on Saturday! We felt so lucky to be a part of it. Each singer brought something different and it was absolute pleasure to watch each of them perform. I also loved watching you (Michelle) watch each of your students. You showed each child so much love and enthusiasm … you (Michelle) are incredible!!!”

"Michelle is one of the most inspiring individuals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She is a master of her craft---and has the unique ability to teach others. She takes the time to get to know you and is able to push you and inspire you at the same time. I have learned so many technical vocal lessons through her- but even more as a performer. She helps you believe in yourself...and sing your face off. I can't recommend her enough. I love Michelle!!"

“Michelle is an extremely caring, empathetic, and knowledgeable person when it comes to her love for singing and the voice. Michelle embraces her students to be who they are instead of forcing them to become something they’re not or what the industry seeks. Michelle helped me through the entire college audition process for over 23 of the top collegian BFA and BM Musical Theatre programs and conservatories in the country! Sure enough with her help I now attend the Manhattan School Of Music for a BM in Musical Theatre! She was there every step of the way, and still is. Michelle has a true and genuine passion for what she does and who she works with, one that simply cannot be found any where else!”

"I watched not only my daughter's singing ability improve while being taught by Michelle, but also her confidence.  My daughter truly became a performer and learned a love of singing.  I would highly recommend Michelle as a voice teacher."

-Cheryl Fournier

"Michelle does more than share her experience and knowledge with her students.  She cares deeply for them.  Michelle sees their strengths and passions and allows them to flourish.  Long after the lessons end, Michelle remains a friend and inspiring mentor."

-Mary Thompson

"Michelle is more than a voice teacher, she is a mentor, coach, and advocate for her students' creativity.  Michelle will challenge you and push you to reach goals you never thought you were capable of, all the while encouraging you, supporting you, and smiling all the way.  I consider myself extremely blessed to have studied under Michelle, and know you too will feel the same."

-Karly Danos

"Michelle is a true inspiration for me.  She has a spirit about her that makes every one of my lessons an experience I not only wanted but needed.  When I started singing, I was very timid.  Growing up, I had tried to sound like other people, picking up habits that made me lose sight of who I was an an artist.  After first meeting with Michelle, I was comfortable enough to have a lesson.  She assured me that I was a true artist and she was going to help me sing the best I could with proper techniques supporting my jazzy style.  After a year and a half of lessons, I am singing great! After finally singing in public, the response I got from people I had never met was overwhelming. This new confidence I have found through these lessons is making me unstoppable,  Michelle is pushing me to expand my talents.  She is an unbelievable talent and what she does with her craft is just something else.  There are teachers and then there are people who change your life and she has changed mine." 

-Molly Lashomb

"I have known and respected Michelle as a musician for many years.  She knows how to encourage singers to gain vocal confidence while learning how to develop their instrument in a healthy way.  She is the voice teacher to a number of students who attend the Upper East Side school where I teach music, and it has been wonderful for me to see the progress they have made with her guidance.  I highly recommend her as a voice teacher for all levels of singers."

“Working with Michelle has been LIFE CHANGING for me. She has a perfect way of explaining things that are incredibly hard to visualize, and always has little tips and tricks to access new and exciting parts of your voice. She's also incredibly tuned in to the energy you bring into the lesson and has so many times offered just the encouraging words that I needed to hear in that moment. I've gained confidence in my voice and myself from working with Michelle. I've literally sung notes I didn't know I could sing - healthfully. I'm almost not even scared of my break anymore, and that's a miracle. She is so kind, smart and intuitive - everything you could want in a voice teacher and more.”

-Amelita Lijek

“My daughter has always loved singing, but since she started working with Michelle, her vocal abilities have markedly improved, and her confidence has soared! Michelle is able to push and inspire my daughter in equal measure. My daughter actually looks forward to practicing after her lessons each week! Michelle has been amazing professionally, and personally she has been an inspiration to my daughter. We cannot recommend Michelle highly enough!”
