Meet Michelle!

Michelle Shuttleworth Towler is a passionate and patient vocal instructor who has been teaching in New York City for the last 18 years.  Michelle is proud to teach both world class professional performers as well as non-performers whose goals are purely personal.  Since 2007, Michelle's professional students can be seen in Broadway shows, Off-Broadway productions, tours and cruises, and film and television as well as on the radio and Spotify.  


Michelle's non-professional students have not only improved their singing, but many have credited their voice training with positively impacting their self esteem and sense of wellbeing as well as inciting change in other areas of their lives.

Michelle’s pedagogy is highly personalized and trains the singer in a holistic way.  She addresses vocal technique, health and anatomy as well as the mental, physiological and emotional elements that contribute to vocal performance.
