The Orland Centre For Music Performance

Sheer technique is necessary but insufficient to play an instrument well. Aural skills, that include the study of functional tonality and voice-leading are important factors that impart musicality. This is of great import if the prospective musician wants the audience to truly enjoy his or her performance!

Sing IT Forte

Michelle Kei I., a soprano of Japanese and American heritage, "uses her strong dramatic soprano to slice through the orchestra" in a varied repertoire that encompasses Verismo to Broadway. Possessing a captivating stage presence and praised as "superb," "gifted," and a "constant breakaway from the rest of the vocal pack," she has entertained audiences on stages around the world. Those are the first two sentences of my professional biography. I thought I'd use them to get the ball rolling.
Ever since I can remember, I've always been a performer. I come from a very musical family. I was always singing! I sang at home, in church, in show-choir a

SUZUKI PIANO FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
With 40 years experience, I have seen how well the Suzuki Method creates musicians who enjoy making beautiful music. Suzuki Piano involves the whole family, enriching the bonds between parents and children.
For parents learning (or re-learning) piano themselves, it's a double joy - just ask the parents of my students. Learning disabilities are no limitation. The Suzuki Method is adaptable to all students - ADHD, sight- or hearing-impaired, autism, to name just a few.
And you're never too old for Suzuki. The same incremental steps originally crafted for youngsters give the adult or teen beginner confidenc

I am a certified music educator specializing in band instrument instruction. I have multiple degrees from University of Michigan and Northern Illinois University. While my professional performance skills are percussion, I am very experienced in teaching all instruments from beginning through intermediate and well beyond that in percussion. My students have ranged in age from 4 years old to 72!
