About Michaela
As a music therapy major, I am uniquely qualified to teach lessons to individuals of all ages and abilities. I also have a certification in developmental disabilities that makes me an expert in adapted lessons for individuals with disabilities, that coupled with my knowledge of therapeutic techniques allows me to offer even more than standard lessons, like working towards increased focus, improving memory, self-expression, and more. I have been making music for over 15 years and am so excited to help you or your child learn to play!
I began giving lessons while in high school to middle and elementary school students. From there my knowledge and teaching style has grown and adapted in a way that has lead to successful and happy students with a life-long passion for making music.
I have been a multi-instrumental musician for over 15 years. I have an Associate’s of Arts in Music and am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s of Music in Music Therapy. I have been giving lessons privately for just over 5 years. Many of my students have placed in honor bands and choirs.
I also have extensive knowledge in using music as a therapuetic tool and have worked with individuals with disabilities for 8 years and counting. I have also obtained an interdisciplinary certification in developmental disabilities from Florida State University that adds to my knowledge and qualifications to work with individuals with disabilities.

My first lesson with a student is all about exploration and forming a relationship. I start by learning what their musical goals are and formulate a plan to help them reach those goals. I also assess their fundamental technique to look for areas of strength and areas of growth. Once we’ve established a relationship and your baseline, we hit the ground running in our next lessons.
My average student is school aged, but I have worked with students ages 4 and older, including senior citizens. I also have experience teaching music to children and adults with disabilities.
My advice to a student looking for a teacher is to make sure you like that teacher’s personality. You will spend a lot of time together and they will likely become a mentor to you, so it’s important that you enjoy being around them.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
A student should reflect on their goals as a musician. For example, they should think about the style of music they want to play and whether they want to play for fun or be a performer.
My philosophy about talking to your teacher is an open door policy. Any questions, comments, or concerns should always be brought up, even if it’s through email or phone during non-lesson times.
