Michelle Jamail

 One of my earliest memories is being with my father's extended family in Vermont and after a delicious meal, gathering in the living room for a lively jam session. The sound of guitars, banjos, washboards, spoons (just about everything was an instrument!) and boisterous singing filled the air. What fun it was! This was the beginning of my love for making music and it has been an integral part of my life ever since. I’ve sung in choirs my whole life and continue to do so with the Love Notes Chorus, bringing the joy of music to those with early-stage memory loss and their caregivers. Also, I am the songwriter, alto singer, and guitar player for my band, Magnolia Blue Trio. 

 

 

 

 

Since 2005, I have been a grateful and enthusiastic Music Together® teacher for Heartsong Music! What began as a fun class to attend with two of my sons, Jason and Ryan, has become my life’s work. I aim to give your family the same kind of joyous, immersive, musical beginning I had by creating a space where your children can find their voices and become the music makers we know they can be. As a Level 2 Certified Music Together® teacher with a Bachelor’s in Applied Learning and Development from UT (Go Horns!), I am certain, together, we will support your child’s most important developmental domains while growing them musically AND having FUN. Let’s make Music Together®!

 

 

 

Testimonials 

"Michelle is wonderful. I say the same thing every semester because she is always on. She knows how to make everyone comfortable, draw people out, and encourage full on out loud enthusiastic participation even from naturally quieter parents and children. She affirms each child as an individual in their personal ways of participating and learning."

"Michelle is very enthusiastic! The program has been amazing. My non-speaker has developed musical confidence and is no longer afraid to try and speak. She's becoming a chatterbox and acquiring more words every day. Thanks Michelle and Music Together!"

"We had a great experience. Michelle was very informative and enthusiastic. She kept our energy up. I appreciate that she included modern songs in some of our classes. That was a nice treat. I'd happily recommend her class to anyone."
