The Spring 2006 Children’s Music Recital of the students of Michelle Saacks. Every student is encouraged but not pressured to perform at these comfortable events. Part of her technique involves preparing the children for performance, which is not only a music, but a life skill.
Michelle Saacks’ music lessons incorporate all the important elements of musical instruction to create a well-rounded, self-aware and content musician. Using a combination of traditional techniques and her own experiences as a mother, professional musician and music teacher, Michelle allows each student to develop into an individual musician rather than a pupil of Michelle Saacks. With the children, Michelle encourages them to try the other instruments that are in the studio and will accompany them on a variety of instruments. Michelle can teach at the home of a student, but most lessons and classes are conducted in her Upper West Side studio in Manhattan, NYC.
