Michelle is a superb piano – no, MUSIC – teacher. My daughter took lessons with Michelle for several years and a DECADE later remains one of the best musicians in her ensembles. Michelle’s insistence that the students learn not just piano technique and musicality but music theory and memorization as well – and rewards them for doing so – speaks mountains to her abilities as a teacher and her understanding of how people learn and thrive with music. If I’d had a teacher like Michelle as a child, I bet I’d have stuck with piano much longer than I did. Michelle constantly challenged my daughter to improve, but never pushed her harder than she could handle.

My daughter took lessons from Michelle for one year, and had she wanted to stick with piano I absolutely would have stayed with Michelle. She was very friendly with my daughter, was genuinely interested in topics outside of piano (school, etc.) but most importantly her method of teaching piano worked really well with her. There are multiple opportunities for performances throughout the year, and the final recital was very well done – plenty of recognition so that even a beginner felt the accomplishment for her hard work.
I would definitely recommend her.

My son took lessons from Michelle for a couple years. She was sooooo good with him! He was a reluctant learner as he had had a poor experience with another music teacher. But Michelle won him over in the first lesson. She kept the lessons fun and interesting for him. She encouraged NOT just learning piano but also music theory. She gives the kids ample opportunity to perform their skills as well. Michelle herself is an amazing and accomplished pianist. You will not find a better instructor then Michelle!

This is an incredible piano studio with an amazing teacher. The teacher is passionate about teaching and is very professional. Had an amazing experience with my two daughters for several years. Would definitely recommend this studio if your looking for someone to go beyond your expectations.

My children have been taking lessons here for 6 years and have learned so much and become really great pianists – all due to the instructor at MEA piano. She is a great teacher and I recommend her to everyone I meet!

My child struggled in busy “chain” lessons where instructors were from a pool of instructors and there was a lot of commotion. Michelle provides a consistent, caring, personal music education that is invaluable for kids wanting to learn and enjoy music.
