Michelle Wheeler grew up with a passion for music in any form. With the encouragement of her band teachers she flourished as a flautist and continued on after high school to complete her Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Regina. In her desire to continue her education she studied flute with Marie-Noelle Berthelet at the University of Regina to complete her Masters of Music Performance. She has trained in Music for Young Children, Kindermusik, and is working towards Level 1 certification in KinderFlute and Blocki Flute methods.
Currently Michelle is an active learner and is enjoying working with a community of piano teachers and professors to learn and share strategies for teaching piano to beginners. Michelle will complete her certification through the Royal Conservatory of Music as an elementary piano specialist in December. The basis of this intensive course is to work with top piano pedagogues and learn techniques and strategies to make her students well rounded and successful. Though already an accomplished piano and flute teacher in her own right, Michelle is always wanting to learn more and share ideas with others to give students the best possible experience.
Michelle has worked as the program coordinator for the Heart of the City Piano Program, secretary for Saskatchewan Angel Dresses, and board member for the Regina Eastview Daycare. She speaks French and English and enjoys enhancing her music classes with the French language as well as sign language. She loves going for walks, swimming, and spending time with her three children Roch, Adelle, and Lilah.
