Private music lessons for children and adults

The Music Program at McIntire Studios in Penfield, NY is designed for beginning through advanced students of all ages who wish to make music a part of their life.

We accept adults, transfer students, and children as young as four into our piano studio. Singers are evaluated for admission on a one-on-one basis.

This program is paced to suit the needs of the individual student, with daily practice leading to lasting accomplishment. Studio recitals are given twice a year, with occasional supplementary solo recitals and group classes. We strongly believe that music is essential to the development of the whole person; therefore, lessons should be demanding and stretch the student, yet be light-hearted with a sense of fun. We strive to motivate students of all ages and ability levels with humor and positive reinforcement.

With a home studio located in Penfield, NY and a virtual studio available worldwide, Michelle offers voice and piano lessons to students of all ages and abilities.

  • "In the summer of 2016, home from my graduate acting program, I was looking for a teacher to brush up on my musical theatre skills. On a friend’s recommendation, I met Michelle—without knowing I was about to have one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I’d just finished a year of stage voice work and was itching to apply it to singing. Michelle met me exactly where I was, quickly assessed what I knew, and challenged me with the right work. As a performing artist herself, she was invested not just in technique but in what I wanted to express as an individual. Having studied with many teachers, I can say her skill, respect, and generosity are truly uncommon. I’ll be calling her again."

  • "I so enjoyed working with Michelle! She is so engaged with her students and teaching comes naturally to her. She is quick to pick up on where you need improvement in a lesson and how to help you achieve your personal goal during your time there...I continue to use the practice tips, breathing exercises and techniques that Michelle teaches. These things have also helped me develop and improve in other areas of my life as I volunteer and work with others. My time spent at McIntire Studios was definitely worth it! I think the personal approach they use to meeting the students on their level is why they succeed in helping both kids and adults. I would highly recommend any kind of music lessons with them!"
