About Michelle
Hello there! My name is Michelle, and I am so excited to share my passion for music as a piano instructor at San Ramon Academy of Music. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Piano from California State University, East Bay, and previously studied systematic piano under Professor Zhou Qixun at South China Normal University in Guangzhou, China.
In my teaching, I love tailoring lessons to each student’s personality and learning speed, ensuring a fun and effective learning experience. I work with beginning and intermediate-level students, helping them build strong foundations while enjoying their musical journey.
Outside of music, I enjoy skating, baking, reading, drawing, photography, and singing. I also love exploring and learning something new every day—it keeps life exciting and fulfilling! I can’t wait to inspire and support you on your path to discovering the joy of music.
Book With Michelle
“I didn’t want my son to be turned off to piano because of all the practicing. Lots of work but not a ton of play. James brings enthusiasm and joy to the discipline. He picked up my son’s style and personality, and could flow according to my son’s uniqueness/playfulness.”
“My biggest concern is if my kids don’t enjoy and have no progress over a significant amount of lessons time. So far your role as a teacher has been very helpful in making my kids interested & focused on their lessons”
