“Before I started lessons with Michelle, I hadn’t played an instrument or written a song.  Her warmth, encouragement, and fun style of teaching helped me learn to play piano and guitar quickly, as well as write and record original songs.  I am now pursuing a career as a singer/songwriter.  Two years after beginning my lessons with Michelle, I have been accepted at The Musician’s Institute in Los Angeles, CA beginning Fall 2011.”  --Brandon Scott

“I really enjoy and love my music sessions with Michelle.  Michelle is very good at tuning into a person and their individual needs for creative self expression.  For me this includes deep emotional support from Michelle, as well as her helping me with fine-tuning my melodies, chord changes, and strumming styles. As I share with her my song writing ideas, she gives me constructive feedback along the way.”  --Nancy

“Michelle Phelps brings skill, support, enthusiasm, and engenders a sense of joy in learning to play music; my definition of a great instructor for beginning piano.” --Roy
