They've also learned to identify solfege hand symbols both in and out of "do re mi" order. She uses both repetition and variation that seems helping our fellas learn music more intuitively than letters and numbers. Thank you Teacher Rae and SPAMA for creating a warm, inclusive and fun learning environment. We look forward to seeing our kids grow with your expert nurturing!

She does it in a fun, positive way too. She always pointed out my strengths and worked to improve my weaknesses. She also helped me to challenge myself on techniques and songs I never would have attempted before. Above all, she increased my confidence and joy in playing. I thought it'd take a second stab at the violin after quitting 10 yrs ago to see for sure if it was or wasn't for me- now I love playing and I owe a huge part of that to Michelle.

Michelle Kim has been an outstanding violin teacher to my 2 sons, for about 8 years. We found her…read moreafter trying 3 other teachers, and immediately recognized her as a real gem. She combines excellent technical training (both theory and practice), ability to convey a love for music and musicianship, and an incredibly encouraging approach. She is just great at engaging her students at whatever levels they're at. One of my sons has been more excited by and ambitious about violin than the other, and it is a testament to her approach that the less-musical of the 2 never asked to quit, all the way through senior year of high school! She helped prepare my younger son for auditions with the LA Youth Orchestra, where he now plays 1st violin, thanks to her! She has studio class or recital every semester, as well as chamber groups among her students, who range in age from about 5 to 60. She has had a few students graduate recently, so I think is accepting new students. You won't be disappointed!
