The best motivator is accomplishment, and accomplishment begins with enjoyment.
I structure lessons with this in mind and strive to approach each student as an individual with unique interests, goals and learning styles.
I have been teaching piano since 2006 and hold Bachelor and Master degrees in Music Theory and Psychology. I blend both of these disciplines into my teaching in hopes of creating an ideal learning experience for each of my scholars.
I perform piano tunings, repairs and inspections with a dedication to superior service and professionalism and a commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.
Your piano needs tuned regularly (once or twice a year) in order to maintain its ability to hold its tune across time and to perform at its optimal level.
I am a true professional, and everything from my timeliness to my respect for your home to my care and thoroughness in the work I perform reflects this.
I endeavor to leave each of my clients 100% satisfied and eager to recommend me to others.
Piano Lessons and Music Theory
Music lessons are customized to each client's interests, abilities and learning styles.
Life's demands should not keep you from pursuing music! I offer flexibility in scheduling to accommodate clients' unique needs.
I receive consistent positive feedback about my patience! Lessons are structured so that anyone can learn irrespective of his or her age. Lessons are suitable for children as young as four-years-old and adults of any age.
"Michelle was a fantastical piano teacher for me. I worked with her for 4+ years and she always found a new way to develop my passion for piano. When I came to her with a new idea or need as far as learning piano went she would go out of her way to find a way to do it. She has always supported all of her students to shoot for greatness, and I am very thankful for the time I learned from her!"
— Ashley C"I started my first piano lesson at age seven and my last one was at age fourteen. In my fifties my husband bought me a piano and I realized at that moment how much I missed playing. So in my sixties I wanted to take lessons again but felt nervous and scared to play in front of someone. Then I found Studio Conti. Michelle was wonderful. She was warm and understanding of my fears. She put me at ease. She is encouraging and gives you the confidence that you can do this. Michelle is patient, thoughtful and understanding. I have been taking for three years now and piano is a big part of who I am, thanks to Michelle. She is a great teacher and you can tell she loves what she does."
— Jill C"Michelle is a very patient and professional piano teacher. I have taken adult lessons for over 3 years with great progress and results. She also gave lessons to my young daughter which taught her a love of music that she carries with her to this day! Michelle is an outstanding teacher for everyone, from the beginning child to the adult with any level of previous experience."

Tuning & Repairs
A key feature of Studio Conti is flexible scheduling. I schedule tunings and repairs around the clock to accommodate clients' needs. This includes weekends and evenings.
Repair services include voicing, regulation, sticky or squeaky keys or pedals, broken pedals, string replacement, broken or missing keytops and much more. Studio Conti is a Certified Installer/Retailer of the Piano Life Saver System.
Studio Conti performs piano tunings, repairs and inspections throughout the Denver metro area and beyond. I have many returning customers as far north as Boulder and as far south as Colorado Springs.
"Michelle patiently tuned our piano (last tuned 11 years ago!!) and as a result, it now sounds like the day we bought it. She was very professional and explained everything she was doing. We are certainly planning to have her tune our piano going forward."
— Janet S"Michelle did a excellent job for me. She was fair priced and worked on the piano until she was very satisfied with its performance. I would recommend her to anyone who needs their piano tuned and serviced. You will appreciate her work ethics and her talents."
— Robert T"Not only did she do a wonderful job, but she was great at explaining everything and being very open. She's very professional and full of integrity."
