About

Michelle Madasamy, NCTM, has pursued a varied career as a performer and music educator. Her fourteen years of diverse teaching experiences include Yamaha group music courses for children, applied music theory at the collegiate level, K-2 general music, and pre-college private lessons. Michelle believes that all piano students deserve quality music instruction which results in artistic and nuanced playing at all levels. To that end, she pursued three years of specialized training in piano pedagogy, with a focus on helping children develop a tension-free and efficient technique right from the start. Her goal as a teacher is to provide students with wonderful musical experiences that inspire them to make music long after their formal lessons have ended.

Michelle is a former U.S. Navy Musician, and at the time was one of seven keyboard instrumentalists in the Navy’s worldwide fleet band program. She performed as a solo pianist, in the Jazz Diplomats Combo, Navy Band Great Lakes Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Big Band, for a total of 287 concerts and over two million audience members throughout Navy Region Midwest. Other notable recitals include solo recitals at the Music Institute of Chicago (Lake Forest, IL), Nichols Concert Hall (Evanston, IL), the Mannes Beethoven Institute (New York, NY), Goldmark Recital Hall (New York, NY), and collaborative recitals at Tilles Center for the Performing Arts (Brookville, NY). Currently, she is an active collaborative pianist within the MetroWest Boston area, and is part of the Delphinium Duo with flutist Jessica Smith.
