McIntire Studios Students Say…

  • "Michelle has done wonders for my confidence as a singer. She believes in me before I convince myself that it's okay to consider myself for roles that I normally write myself off for. I appreciate that so much. She is quick to figure out what can be improved, but is generous and authentic with the praise. I also just adore her wacky humor, and sharing a laugh with her is always a joy."

    - Eliza Cantlay

  • "[David's] easy to relate to. He’s very relaxed, yet he wants to instill a sense of responsibility in his students and a sense of real-world experiences. He wants to connect students with the community and also provide some really practical skills."

    - Martha Greer

  • "Michelle knows what she’s talking about and I’ve noticed a change in my sound for the good. She makes lessons fun and constantly checks with me to make sure that I am understanding what is happening to produce my sound."

    - Jack Blackburn
