Hello! I'm Michelle Joy. Welcome to The Joy of Music!
My heart for this studio is to teach everyone who enters my life about the healing and joy music can bring.
My passion is for people of all abilities and stages of life. I hope to bring JOY to your musical journey with a focus on accessibility and inclusion. 
I enjoy playing (and teaching!) Piano, guitar, ukulele, and especially VOCALS! 

I have a lifetime of learning (because learning music never stops!) and 5 years of experience as a teacher!

As a child I had a hard time learning the traditional method of reading music in my piano lessons, so my parents found a teacher who taught using a kinesthetic approach with various methods of pattern recognition. I try to teach my students in a way that focuses on their personal learning styles and goals as a musician. 

I also have a lot of experience working with people with various physical and mental abilities and strongly believe that anyone can learn the JOY of music regardless of their limitations. I personally have adult diagnosed ADHD which adds to the fun experience of taking lessons with me. 

Above all, anyone who enters my studio or has me in their home will be loved and accepted as they are and will - hopefully - learn to love music as much as I do.
