In this video Michelle shows you around her online teaching studio, some of the bells and whistles including what you need for an online lesson
​
​
State of the art software and hardware make learning online fun. An overhead keyboard cam shows clearly what Michelle is playing on her piano and there is a midi keyboard that lights up so it's easy to see what notes she is playing.
​
Michelle's approach is warm and engaging, she really wants to know what type of music you want to learn and lessons are based around that as well as learning the nuts and bolts so you become an independent musician.
​
Michelle's joy, knowledge and passion for music make being a part of her musical world a fun place to be. Her music is an amalgam of toe tapping grooves and joyfulness of being encompassing bits from Brazilian Samba and Bossa, Cuban, Blues, Latin and Jazz grooves, slow and sultry Ballads to R&B, Motown, Rock and Pop reinventions.
And her repertoire is ever growing based on the songs her students want to learn."One of the most brilliant aspects for me of music is being able to connect with people; when I can feel their energy responding in the moment to music I am creating. That's truly magical."

"Student led teaching is always interesting and it is an extraordinary privilege being a part of each of my students' totally very individual musical journeys." Michelle

TESTIMONIALS FROM STUDENTS (OR THEIR PARENTS)
​
​
"A wonderful teacher whose main objective is to nurture the students love for music. Full of encouragement and enthusiasm, ready to teach however you need to be taught. Can't recommend enough for anyone who loves music and fancies themselves to have a half decent ear!" Ted, April 2022
​
"Michelle has such extensive experience as a musician herself and has a very compassionate, holistic and individual approach to teaching her students … she’s a maestro and a little gem and I would highly recommend her to teach your little gems" Sarah, April 2022
​
"An absolutely brilliant teacher. Michelle oozes enthusiasm and knowledge and is a fantastic motivator. When Covid hit I was concerned that remote tutoring would not match the personal one to one sessions but I was wrong, it is actually better. Could not recommend more highly!" Phil, April 2022
​
"Michelle is a great teacher (as an adult beginner). Really tries to make learning music a personal experience by picking songs that you like to play and focusing on the theory behind the music." Sim, March, 2022
​
"Michelle is a great piano teacher. Very patient with this improver. I last had lessons over 30years ago! The online 1-2-1 teaching set up is fab and works very well. Belting out the tunes now!" Vince, March 2022
​
"We have been using this method every week for the last 6 months for our son and he has come on in leaps and bounds. Michelle's enthusiasm is transferable down the line." Jim
​
"Just to vouch for Michelle to say my two did Zoom lessons last week and it worked really well! We still like seeing Michelle for real but under the circumstances this is a great alternative and helping to keep normal routines going as much as possible." Gill
​
"I can vouch for what Michelle says. I have all my piano lessons via Skype and it is very easy and effective. I thoroughly recommend it." Gillian
