"As I play the last note of the concerto and take a bow, I look up to see Michelle's approval.  I see a giant smile that leaps onto my face and I can't help but smile.  Through my entire music journey, Michelle has been there to support me throught the good times and bad.  Her bright smile and words of encouragement are the things that keep me going through even the hard times.  Michelle is everything you would want in a teacher: kind, patient, supportive, and yes, ever challenging, helping to make me the best violinist I can be.  Thank you, Michelle, for everything you have done and will do to help me.  Your humbleness is truly inspiring, and some day I hope to follow in your steps and become as wonderful a woman as you are!"  Kierstin, student


"Michelle is amazing!  Not only does she play with excellence, she is a joy to live with!  What a blessing to be married to such a gifted and beautiful woman!"  Mark Opseth, husband
