Artsy & Me

Michelle is a fantastic piano teacher. Very clear, patient, and her lessons are fun, informative and very rewarding. I would recommend her to anyone. She tailors the lessons to my musical interests and is very good at explaining the underlying theoretical concepts.

With an amputated leg and a fused spine, I never thought I could practice yoga. But Michelle's creative mind makes the seemingly impossible possible - and relaxing & fun!

Just finished a great 10 week Hatha course online with Michelle. I can feel a huge difference in my flexibility and she has been really sensitive to my age (67) and health issues (bad knees) but keeps me challenged. Really well thought out lessons that stay interesting throughout. The hour flies by. I am ready for more so just signed up for another 10 weeks. This has been so beneficial for me during Covid lockdown. Thanks Michelle and Artsy & Me for being there and making it so easy to be involved.

We continue to have a great experience with Artsy & Me which is organizing trumpet lessons for our children on a weekly basis.They are showing great progress and real enthusiasm for music due to the inspirational teaching and guidance of Michelle.Highly recommended!

I started from knowing nothing, trying to teach myself from beginner piano books, but it was clear I needed extra help on techniques and theory. Michelle is a great piano teacher, even with remote lessons over the internet.

Kan absolutt anbefale Artsy & Me!Ålesund er så heldig at Michelle Yarnell underviser ved Aalesund International School, dirigerer skolekorpset og gir privattimer. Dattera mi benytter seg av alle tre tilbudene og spiller nå både tverrfløyte og ukulele. Hun har blitt tryggere på seg og gleder seg alltid til timene.Niåringen beskriver Michelle som tålmodig, rolig og veldig veldig snill. Oppmuntrer og gir aldri opp.Som mor opplever jeg særdeles profesjonell kommunikasjon mellom hjem og musikkskole. Michelle er løsningsorientert, alltid smilende og hyggelig. Har internasjonal undervisningskompetanse, hun brenner for faget både privat og i jobbsammenheng.Håper mange barn får oppleve Michelles smittende musikkglede og kunnskap, hun er rett og slett en drømmelærer!

We are very happy with the piano lessons, Michelle is a highly skilled music instructor.We also appreciate the flexibility and good cooperation with the schools (aais) music program!

Michelle offers yoga classes at all levels. Due to an artificial hip I decided to take the chair yoga class. Michelle helped me with my breathing, better posture and good upper body yoga exercises. It is a wonderful class for all ages. Michelle is a very dedicated and well prepared teacher. She is able to assist in multiple languages. I hope to meet many others in this - online - class.
