My work with Michael has allowed me to sing with a level of ease and consistency I had never thought possible.  His teaching is clear, practical, and flexible.  I have greatly benefited from working with this insightful and patient technician.

I am in awe of Michael’s knowledge of the human voice and how he is immediately able to diagnose the problems and concerns of the pupil and to proceed to offer suggestions and demonstrations to address these problems. He allows everyone to find their unique voice!

“As a voice student of Michael’s for the past several years, I’ve found him to be a very gifted teacher. In his group classes he creates a safe space for participants to try out repertoire and find new approaches. He has an amazing ability to focus on exactly what I am doing in the moment and make a suggestion that has an immediate impact on my level of performance. Class members learn a lot from watching Michael work with each other and we have fun together!”

—Sylvia Floyd, classical soprano
