Excellent teacher, super patient. Fun lessons. Good progression of exercises that is gradual but challenging in a way that helps improvement.


Michelle was great, professional, educational and patient. It was as good as teaching in person and my daughter really enjoyed her lesson. We are excited to watch her progress in the next few months.



Michelle is wonderful and an awesome teacher!

My daughter is very shy and can be hard to work with, yet Michelle was very patient and made her feel more confident and at ease. Very sweet and professional. I feel like in one lesson she already learned so much. She was in such a good mood after her lesson!


I enjoyed the training, just the right level introduction.

Wonderful!


Michelle is an excellent coach! She goes at your pace while also providing tangible feedback and advice for you to obtain your goals. She is very friendly, and her positive attitude makes you look forward to the next lesson. I started from scratch and 4 months in I could notice a difference in my singing. Very pleased with the guidance she's provided.

Michelle is an amazing voice teacher! She takes time to get to know each of her students as well as their voice. She’s helping me develop the fundamental techniques for singing as well as training my inner ear. She helps me find songs that work for my vocal range but are still challenging! She makes lessons fun and I always look forward to our lessons!

Michelle is a very fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and patient instructor. She helped me work on my soft palate control, diction, and voice placement. After taking only a few lessons with her, I feel like I'm already making great progress!


Michelle is a fantastic teacher! Not only talented knowledgeable, and professional, she is incredibly patient, friendly but firm. We have a high energy son who can be a handful and can lose interest quickly. Michelle has done an exceptional job at keeping him engaged and challenged. After starting out for 4 months in person learning, the transitioned to online due to covid has been seamless. I would highly recommend her as a teacher for either in person (when that returns) or online.

Taking lessons with Michelle is so much fun. She's very knowledgeable and non intimidating. She sees where your weak spots are and helps you conquer them. Each lesson I feel I'm loving opera and singing more and more. It's exciting!!

She is very knowledgeable, gives great feedback, and extremely personable. Would definitely recommend for classical training!

Enjoyed my lessons with her.

From the start, Michelle has been so helpful and easy to work with! She is super friendly and wants the best for you, and is quick to understand how to best work with you so that you get the most from your lessons. She has a beautiful voice and is excellent at communicating how to best adjust your own voice to sing better and stronger. She also is very flexible with schedule, which has been so helpful! Thank you for your help, Michelle!

Michelle is the most amazing teacher! Very patient, thorough, challenging and understanding. I highly recommend her! She sees where your level is at and grows from there!!
Thank you Michelle!

Michelle is a tutor who cares about her students. She is honest, musically educated and is very knowledgeable. She helped me with my voice and piano. I enjoyed taking lessons from her because she was flexable with my type of music.

Michelle is a very polite, fun, and knowledgable. She was always patient when helping me practice my Spanish, and now I am able to hold a reasonable conversation with fluent Spanish speakers in Mexico! Couldn't have done it without her help.

I immediately knew she was trained in this area. She made it simple to understand and enjoyable. I appreciated her patience too. Looking forward in continuing my lessons.

If you are aurally challenged when it comes to intervals and harmonic progressions, I definitely recommend tutoring. Michelle was very patient during our lessons and had different tips on how to identify certain progressions, which I appreciated. We also worked on complex rhythms together. It was actually really fun. She's very kind, resourceful, and an excellent tutor.

She was suuuuuper nice and she knew how to explain herself really well

Michelle is so sweet and knowledgable! She is extremely patient and helpful and makes learning even the most difficult concepts a fun experience.

Very patient with me. I'm not the fastest learner, so Michelle's delicate and meticulous approach was very effective.

Michelle was very effective in teaching me basic phrases and sentences in Spanish. I am preparing for a trip to Mexico with my family, and want to be able to communicate with them effectively. As Michelle comes from Mexico, I feel she is giving me an authentic Spanish interaction. She is also very friendly, which makes for a comfortable learning experience.

Excellent teacher! Classical voice is just one of the many subjects she excels in. She is well trained, she gets the job done, she is very kind and works well with others.
Incredibly patient, she makes the lesson very easy to grasp, I've had other teachers but I've most excelled when taking lessons and receiving tutoring from Michelle! My theory and voice has improved incredibly because of her :)

Awesome!

Michelle was the kindest, sweetest, and most patient instructor I have ever had! She really took the time to make sure that I understood the concepts of singing before we got into the training. She helped me understand singing through the use of imagery, and that made it so much more easier to grasp the concepts. If I ever want to take vocal lessons again I know exactly who I will be calling!

Michelle is very patient and taught me different ways of solving problems with SATB and other music theory concepts like voice leading and chord functions. She also helped me practice my musicianship skills.

She's a really patient teacher, and she helped me a lot. After the lesson with her, I analyzed how to listen to the bass line quickly. She also taught me a lot short hands for ear training. I hope I could take her lesson again.

She is a highly skilled classical vocalist with great talent. She was my music tutor at East Los Angeles College. She always knew what my problems were and how to fix them.

She is very knowledgeable in music, knows her IPA and has a really beautiful voice. I Highly recommend her for voice and theory
