" It feels wild and powerful to drum as a group. Michelle brings our rhythms together. It's a blast. "

" I have been a student of Michelle's for over three years.   She is very knowledgeable about drum rhythms and has a knack for teaching them.  She is very encouraging so that everyone feels confident about learning.   She facilitates an awesome group energy which keeps me drumming. "

" My 6 year old and I have had the privilege of participating in Michelle's Family Drum Circle for the past two years. Michelle is an extraordinary music educator, as well as a purveyor of the beauty of the sounds of the natural world. Her ability to meet intergenerational group members where they are at and build on their strengths and existing knowledge creates a welcoming and inclusive environment for personal and relational growth."

" Michelle's drum class has been a highlight of my life for the past 2 years. Learning the traditional rythms is an amazing experience. Thank you Michelle for bringing this to the community. We appreciate you! "

" Michelle provided a drum circle for our Earthday celebration. I thought it was great. It brought people, young and old, together and got them actively participating. "

" Michelle's Drum Circle Connection was a fantastic addition to Corvallis Fall Festival! Michelle brings a great energy to the group and made it so easy for people of all ages and experience levels to jump in and play. The drum circle before the Saturday Night Street Dance was the perfect way to keep the audience engaged while the closing band set up. It was a joy to watch the community connect and make music together! "

" Michelle led a drum circle and percussion instrument build at my granddaughter's 9th birthday party. We all had a great time.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and I heard lots of “this is the best birthday party” from everyone that joined us. We had a chance to play the instruments we built and try out all the drums and percussion instruments as well. "

" Michelle is great with all ages.  She has a great way of getting everyone in class involved. "

" Michelle was an incredible part of making Adams School World Heritage Day possible and a big success. "
