Michelle Smirnoff is a music educator earning her Bachelor of Arts in instrumental music education from the Bob Cole Conservatory of Music. She believes that musicianship isn’t a skill that needs to be built from scratch, but rather that music is inherent in all of us. Michelle is committed to ensuring all students who enter her classroom are equally and equitably nurtured to receive the full benefits of the quality music education she will provide.

Music Education for all

Don’t just take my word for it!

 “The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited.” – Plutarch 

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”– Albert Einstein

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” – Robert Frost

17 years later, I finally took another Conducting class!
