Michelle began playing cello at age 11. At age 17, she left home to study cello performance at Brandon University, and then at Wilfrid Laurier University. To raise money for tuition while attending Osgoode Hall Law School, she busked in the Toronto subway. People who heard her solo cello music asked her to play for their weddings, and she has played for weddings ever since. Michelle recently returned to university to study cello performance full-time with Katie Schlaikjer and she completed the Chamber Music diploma at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2025.
Most music for voice or a melodic instrument, such as flute or violin, can be played on the cello. As the cello is the instrument that sounds most similar to the human voice, vocal music sounds lovely on the cello. The instrument's resonant tone adds a warm ambience to the environment.
Michelle now plays a fine Canadian cello from the workshop of Jean-Benoît Stensland and Therese Girard in Montreal. Therefore, to take good care of her cello, she no longer plays cello for outdoor events. For indoor events, Michelle plays cello as a soloist and in various duos and trios.
