I enjoyed Michelle’s teaching very much. We would often get distracted talking about things unrelated to violin which ate into our study time a bit. But she was usually good about making that time up for me. Overall I very much enjoyed her and her instruction.

Michelle is great! She is very friendly and patient (especially with my poor internet connection). She takes time to show me the details on how to bow and set up my fingering properly. I highly recommend Michelle. I'm very happy I chose her as my viola teacher.

I've always wanted to take music lessons but instead always made sure my kiddos learned what I never got to. During quarantine, I decided to go for it and learn myself. I found Michelle here on TakeLessons. She was offering a great deal for new students! So on a whim, I purchased 12 lessons, rented a cello, got the books Michelle recommended, and started lessons two weeks later. I have learned a lot from Michelle! She is on time for lessons and pays attention to the details: how I'm holding my bow, how I'm sitting, and how holding the cello can be different for women ;).

Take some initiative with your learning by communicating with Michelle what you are looking for, what your expectations are, what you want to learn, songs you would like to attempt and your lesson will meet your expectations! She aims to please, she is friendly and has stories to entertain and fill the voids if you want.

The lessons have been well worth my time and $$. I've learned a lot!!

My daughter started taking lessons a few months ago as a beginner with Michelle and it has been wonderful. My daughter is a bit of an introvert and i was afraid that she would lose interest if she wasn't playing like a professional after a few weeks. Michelle has a high level of energy and is very patient. My daughter taught herself a bit of a popular song she liked and Michelle said she would help her learn more of it. My daughter remarked "that was really nice of her"

Michelle is an amazing teacher! She is an excellent musician that is passionate about teaching. Michelle has a gift for for explaining concepts in easy to understand terms and encourages her students to excel. I highly recommend Michelle for students of all ages!

My daughter who is 9 loves Michelle as her violin teacher. Michelle is very good at teaching technique, while being fun and encouraging. She is personable and has helped my daughter really enjoy playing the violin. We are very thankful to have found her. Our daughter has improved her violin playing this year thanks to Michelle.

My daughter has been taking violin lessons with michelle for several months now. She has learned so much. She loves her teacher and loves taking lessons with her...she looks forward to her lessons every week. We love the flexibility of doing it online with such a great, friendly, knowledgable teacher.

I have found Michelle to be a fantastic Cello instructor. I have learned so much from our lessons over the past year.  I was a bit worried about virtual lessons, but that quickly passed. I have  taken in person lessons at a local university with some very good instructors, but can honestly say I have learned the most about technique from Michelle. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.  

Michelle has been teaching our daughter 100% online from the 1st lesson. We are so impressed that she was able to virtually teach my daughter on how to properly play her violin and make fantastic progress. Her school orchestra teacher was astonished at the affordability and success of the Michelle’s online teaching. While school has been out of session my daughter has continued to make significant progress and I know keeping her skills fresh will be less stressful for her when she returns to orchestra class. My daughter also feels positive about playing her violin and even practices on her own... without being prompted.

I think viola or violin is her specialty, and students would likely have a great instructor for those instruments. Cello instruction was not the best at the later-Intermediate stage. It was clear that she did not play the instrument (or not well), and was not aware of all the clefs.

Michelle is a wonderful teacher . My daughter enjoys the class and looks forward for the same . I can see a lot of improvement in her viola skills . Also to add Michelle can help you with fixing you viola as well she is good at online viola fixing .🤪 . She really saved me a trip to music store to fix the viola and tune it better .

Michelle is an amazing teacher. I struggle with anxiety when performing in front of people. I am also too harsh on myself. She has the experience to help conquer both issues and many more. She is very prescriptive in her approach to teaching, yet also flexible in tailoring her approach to students. She was definitely born with the gift of teaching music.

Had my fifth lesson with Michelle today. It was so helpful. I was experiencing pain in my hand after practice and she helped me figure out what was wrong. Having a teacher help adjust positioning has been absolutely vital for me to learn cello. Also, she plays multiple string instruments and I really like that she has customized her teaching techniques for my lessons based on my prior experience with violin.

I am So glad I chose Michelle for a teacher! I really like her and she is very patient , friendly and extremely helpful. As an adult, learning an instrument , I was skeptical but she got me through! She makes it fun and I feel like a success! Thanks Michelle!

Michelle is an awesome teacher. My children 8 & 11 are taking Violin lessons with her and she has been amazing. She is very easy to work with and both my children are very comfortable with her, even my daughter who is very shy but Michelle finds a way to work with her. I was not sure about online lessons for young children but it has been a great experience.

Michelle is very patient and knowledgeable. She explains all the steps really well, has experience and is also very fun to work with. I'm learning how to play the cello and I'm happy I found Michelle, she was the right person to help me achieve my goal.

Michelle is great with my 6 year old who is new to Viola and isn’t always “in the mood”. She keeps the lessons light and fun but I leave each lesson feeling as my child has learned something new. She is also accommodating to changing schedules as things come up. Thanks Michelle

Michelle is a very encouraging and supportive cello teacher. My daughter loves her sessions with her, where she gets to work on technique while still creating music she loves. Michelle is patient and a good listener with definite expertise. My daughter was most impressed with now being able to tune her on her own!

Michelle is an excellent teacher, and can accommodate any student.
Michelle gives clear instructions, and is patient with her students when they don't understand something.
She helped me by improving individual music pieces, as well as solidifying great technique.
I completely recommend Michelle to all students.

Michelle is such a great teacher, very patient and she has such a great personality. I have felt super comfortable with her since day one! She’s is knowledgeable and gives great pointers and has great availability to work with my schedule as a working single mother. Best teacher EVER!!

I love Teacher Michelle. I will surely be back after my 30day paid session with her. I have learned a lot during those 30 mins 5x a week session we had. She had so much patience. Always with a happy smile on her face never giving up on her students. Thanks Teacher Michelle.

My daughter had several wonderful lessons. Michelle helped built her confidence level by being very positive and encouraging! I wasn’t sure how online lessons work (this was our first time) but I was pleasantly surprised on all the tips and advices given by Michelle, anywhere from the way to hold an instrument to how to find a note then playing a piece in sync. Convenience of not driving anywhere and having a lesson at our home is always a plus :)

I played the cello for years as a child and recently started playing again. Michelle has guided me in learning the basics of reading music again and even talks me through all of the super fine details. She has given me the best advice on how to set myself up for success including a great book suggestion! She is laid back and personable. I am so glad I found her.

she REALLY is an amazing person and on the first lesson she has like a little test but its fun and it allows her to get to know were you are and what to stat on. Also she is very phlexable with the time. she is a sweet and kid women. i just switch to cyber school and when i was in public school i did violin. so she is the best also for cyber school. WELL DONE MICHELLE!!!!!!

The first 2 lessons my daughter had with Michelle were very good. She is very nice and fun and has an upbeat personality. By the third lesson, Michelle was still spending valuable lesson time reviewing my daughter's situation (name, music, schedule), allowed her own child to repeatedly interrupt, and was inconsistent with her facts (first saying a dotted half note was 3 counts and then saying a dot is worth 1/2 count, so a dotted whole note is worth 4.5 counts). 30 minutes is not a lot of time and I felt like it was wasted.

Teacher Michelle has been doing a great job with my 5 year old. She is very patient and smart. She knows how to teach it in a simplified manner for kids at a young age. She does the teaching in a fun way too. Worth having her as my child's first teacher in playing a musical instrument.

My daughter is five years old and Michelle does a good job relating to her. Michelle is very encouraging. I like the program she uses to help younger children learn how to read music. After my daughter’s lesson today she was so excited that she could read music. The only thing that would be better is if we could have lessons in person. We live in a rural area, so online lessons are sometimes our only option.

First lesson with Michelle and as I am not completely new with the violin, the first lesson was very much about assessing where we are and how to go forward. Michelle is a very nice and funny person, full of energy and I am already looking forward to our next lesson.

Attempted to establish lessons with this instructor. Drove from Greensboro to Reidsville 3 different times. First time no one answered at residence. Second time received call on the way advising could not meet for lesson and final time, no one at location. I can’t believe she was nervy enough to request a review. We finally found an instructor in Greensboro. Was a very frustrating encounter with an unprofessional tutor.

Michelle is highly creative and artistic. Her educational techniques are sure to keep things enjoyable. She’s a great Mother and a natural with kids, patient, focused and fun. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing lessons at any age, very easy to get along with.

I have know Michelle several years. She had a great music school in Georgia. Her students were sad to see her go when she moved to NC. With her teaching on line now everyone can start their lessons again. She is a great teacher who has patience with children of all ages. Looking forward to being able to take adult classes. I am so happy that she will be available on line giving lessons. I am so excited!

Having never personally met Michelle face to face, our online experience was more than expected. Our 7 children all benefited from having Michelle as our personal music coach. She was always available by phone and Skype if needed. My children learned to read music and to play by ear thanks to Michelle’s techniques. I would gladly recommend her for any family big or small.

My wife and I decided to enroll both of our kids in music lessons, and after careful consideration we felt Ms.Teague would be a perfect fit. Her ability to retain our 6 year olds attention was astonishing, and method of teaching proved to be exemplary. I would recommend Ms.Teague for any age, and or group.
