Originally from New Zealand, Michelle began her musical journey at the age of 4 as a Suzuki child, studying piano alongside violin, viola, and flute.
After earning her Bachelor of Piano Performance (Hons) from the University of Auckland, prestigious international scholarships took her to the University of Washington in Seattle (USA) for her Master’s degree, and to the Musikhochschule in Cologne (Germany) for an Artist Diploma. Michelle has achieved success in numerous competitions and enjoyed a vibrant career as a soloist, concerto performer, and chamber musician.
Teaching has always been an integral part of Michelle’s life; she began teaching piano while still a student herself and has dedicated her career to the Suzuki Method ever since. An ESA Teacher Trainer for piano and a certified teacher of Suzuki Early Childhood Education (SECE), Michelle also serves as the current Chair of the ESA Piano Committee. She is frequently invited to teach at major Suzuki workshops across Europe, where she delights in helping students and families discover greater joy at the instrument.
Michelle teaches in Zürich, Switzerland, at her studio, The Piano Box. She lives with her husband, two children, and two very demanding—but musical—cats.
