My 12 year old granddaughter, Rachel, has been taking lessons and gaining inspiration from Michelle Ostrove for over a year. Singing has brought peace in times of turmoil for Rachel and will continue to be a positive outlet for the rest of her life. Beyond helping Rachel discover her confidence to perform, she's also become her friend. Rachel's singing touches my heart and those who get the opportunity to hear her .We love Michelle and you will too, her service is priceless.

Michelle Ostrove is an amazing vocal and piano teacher.

Michelle has spent her entire life developing her musical prowess.

I have studied singing under the tutelage of MIchelle and I am here to tell you that she has an innate ability to recognize within her students hidden talent that was not readily apparent.

Before studying with Michelle, I could not sing on key. I have made tremendous strides within the last year and I have been told on several occasions while out singing karaoke that I sound really good.

My thanks go out to Michelle Ostrove and her amazing teaching ability.

By the way, I am not young by any stretch of the imagination. Although most of Michele's students are young, between the ages of 6 years old up through their mid-20's, I happen to be a middle aged male that had no prior singing experience until I started learning to sing at Michelle's studio.

I have been taking voice lessons with Michelle for a few months, and she is an excellent vocal coach. My situation is unique in that I'm a singer/songwriter and have had a paralyzed vocal cord for well over ten years. Michelle has helped me to find exercises that strengthen my voice and increase my range. I will never sing the way that I did twenty years ago -- but thanks to Michele I am able to find new ways to sing with the instrument I now have. She also happens to be a lovely person.

Our daughter takes voice and piano lessons from Michelle, and the results are amazing!! Her confidence level has also improved. thank you Michelle.

Our daughter started going to Michelle about a year ago. Prior to this time, she had no musical experience to speak of... unless you count a three to four week stint with the guitar or her non-stop singing around the house. My wife and I heard about Michelle through our daughter's best friend's mom who raved about her. After hearing my daughter's friend sing, who's incredible, I was sold... on trying it at least. I have to admit at that time, a part of me felt like singing was a natural gift that you had or you didn't. Of course this thought process makes paying someone to "teach" your child to sing seem pointless. Well, my belief may still be true. Some singers may be born with something extra, I don't really know. What I do know for sure is that not everyone's gift sits easy to see on the surface, and with the right teacher your child's talents can be raised and refined. Every few weeks or so, Michelle emails my wife and I a video of our daughter performing a song she's been working on (If you go to Michelle's Facebook page you will find several student videos) and on multiple occasions we've been in tears by the end. To watch her play piano...and sing...and hit notes I never imagined she'd hit... it's completely overwhelming every time I hear it. And I don't know that my daughter will ever be the next American Idol (she actually talks more about performing in coffee shops than on big stages...lol) but she's a joy to hear and most importantly I've seen the incredible effect her singing has had on her self esteem and confidence. For that last reason alone, I highly recommend you give Michelle a try. I'm certainly happy we did.

My teen age daughter takes piano lessons with Michelle and loves it. Michelle is very skilled and patient. She is very good at evaluating my daughters needs and then provide the right guidance and teaching to help her progress. She also works hard to accommodate our crazy schedule.
