    About Michael M.

    I've been giving private voice lessons for almost twenty years, successfully guiding students from rough-and-ready to really-refined. I've worked with some outstanding voice teachers, from my undergraduate work (1995 Bachelor of Music, UT Chattanooga) and graduate studies (2004 Master of Music, Southwestern Seminary) to my colleagues at Southwest Baptist University (Bolivar, MO, 2004-2007), Tennessee Temple University (Chattanooga, TN, 2007-2010), and Bryan College (Dayton, 2010). As a performer, I've appeared in several operas over the years, as well as hundreds of choral and solo performances and engagements, from local church mini-concerts to overseas tours. I've sung almost every type--classical, gospel, contemporary, pop, even jazz and blues--and am excited at any opportunity to help people get the most out of their God-given gifts.
