Violin

I am thrilled to specialize in teaching strings! Whether it's the violin, viola, cello, or upright bass, I've got you covered. I absolutely adore working with students of all ages, starting from four years old and up. Trust me, if you can tie your shoes, you can definitely play the violin!

To ensure a solid foundation, every lesson commences with a thorough evaluation. We'll cover all the essentials, from proper instrument posture to injury prevention. I'll also provide you with valuable tips on effective individual practice, marking music, mastering scales, and perfecting bow technique. These aspects are my absolute priorities.

But remember, lessons should be an absolute blast! I want you to enjoy each session more and more. That's why I incorporate not only classical music but also the latest popular tunes. It's incredible to witness students' reactions when they play songs they recognize. We'll focus on technique and posture but within a safe and enjoyable environment. And hey, making mistakes is absolutely okay! In my class, there's no judgment whatsoever. If you need extra time or assistance, I'm here to support you all the way.

Believe it or not, I've had the pleasure of guiding students into youth orchestras, community orchestras, and even college orchestras. If you're interested in audition preparation, just let me know!

For Violin, Viola, Cello, or Double Bass Students. 
In this class, we will use the book "Big Book of Disney Songs". This class is best suited for students who can read music at a basic level and are able to hold the bow. Some songs we will play are; A Spoonful of Sugar, A Whole New World, So This Is Love, Part of Your World, Colors Of The Wind. Students are expected to purchase their own copy of the book before class. I will help students with note recognition, and rhythm, and count.

Head Start is a certification I received while working with a private school for teaching young children. It was a great certification to help teach and recognize many aspects of child development.

Head Start

I started teaching violin, viola, cello, and double bass in 2009. I taught in many music schools in Georgia including; Gwinnett School of Music, Music, and Arts, Jackson’s Music, and the Fine Arts Academy at Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church. During this time I also taught 4 elementary after school programs with Music Matters After School along with a community orchestra with Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church on the weekend for children and adults. I also taught general music at Destiny Christian Academy where I also taught art to preschool and elementary kids. Also, I helped with 2 summer camps, music camp - where I taught the violin class and arts camp, for the Fine Arts Academy with Douglasville 1st United Methodist Church.

private and group lessons instructor

I've been teaching online lessons for a solid 5 years, and I've been doing private lessons for a whopping 14 years! Let me tell you, it was quite a learning curve to adapt to teaching online. But you know what? I embraced it! I discovered that I needed a whole bunch of props and had to bring out my inner performer to keep things lively. And you know what? I absolutely adore teaching online! It gives me the flexibility to enjoy my mornings, teach my heart out, and still have quality time with my family. Seriously, without this online platform, it would be a major struggle for me to continue teaching because those studios just don't open in the mornings. Sure, I teach in the evenings too, but I like to keep my weekends all to myself. It's just the perfect balance if you ask me!

Michelle was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of my son’s questions. She helped him prepare for an audition. 

Great first couple of lessons. Very patient and encouraging

What a great teacher! Not only is she very pleasant and patient, she's very knowledgeable. Within one lesson I learned more than 5 lessons with another teacher. Thank you!

Michelle seems knowledgeable and personable.  And I appreciate her approach on helping me establish good habits re posture with the violin to avoid injury and to focus on my goals as an adult learner new to violin. 

My son has been playing the cello for about 6 months in a Junior High Orchestra but he has been needing help catching up with the other students which have been playing for several years. After searching locally, we were unable to find a good teacher. Someone recommended an online teacher so we found Michelle online and had our 1st lesson. My son had many questions and concerned but Michelle went right to work helping him. I was surprised how much information she was able to cover in 30 minutes. She addressed many things such as his stance to music note applications for cello. She is an outstanding teacher from our experience. She also provided information on books to study to further his understanding to reach his goals of catching up with the high school students. One last thing to mention, it is important to keep students moving forward with a position disposition and Michelle did a fantastic job keeping a smile and uplifting toon throughout the lesson. Thank you for the help!

She's a fantastic teacher, doing an amazing job!!

very excellent first lesson with Michelle!

It was a great first lesson! Looking forward to more!
