Michael - Voice & Piano

Picture
​Originally from Tiffin, Ohio, Michael found his passion for music at the age of seven when he started taking piano and organ lessons. He went on to study Music Education at Siena Heights University in Adrian, Michigan. His passion for performing art education has taken him throughout the country participating in master classes with professionals in the music and theatre world including Jeanine Tesori, Stephen Schwartz, Christian Borle, John Jacobson, Mac Huff, Kirby Shaw, Roger Emerson, and many more.
 
Michael’s specialty in choral music, liturgical music, and Broadway Musicals has influenced him throughout his 36 years of teaching Kindergarten through 12th grade music education, with an emphasis on characterization, interpretation of lyrics, and instilling his passion for music to his students.  Fun fact: Michael has directed over 50 musicals! 

Michael is married to his wonderful wife Betsey of 36 years and they have 3 children: Michelle, from Toledo, OH, Melissa, from Colorado Springs, CO., who is married to Ryan, a proud member of the U.S. Air Force, and Matthew, who lives in Philadelphia, PA.  Outside of teaching, Michael loves to travel, golf, and take the families Jack Russell, Annie, on long walks with his wife.  He is immensely proud and honored to be a part of the Forte Music School Family!
