About
Currently offering classes hybrid, in-person, and online at the Fedorowich Music Studio.
I was one of my Mom’s first Sunshine 1 Music for Young Children (MYC) students at the age of 3. Today, we are business partners with a combined 80+ years’ experience between us to offer young families seeking exceptional music education, currently offering music classes on 2 continents in 3 countries. One exemplary example of this is our Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) Gold Medal Winner for Level One Piano (Jan 2013)!
I went on to take piano lessons privately and obtained my Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) grade 10 piano. I graduated with honours from the Etobicoke School of the Arts, majoring in music. I then moved to Winnipeg to work at The Welcome Home, a mission project in the North End, working closely with inner city kids (2003-2006). It was there that I implemented and directed an arts program called 'Kids Are Creative'. From 2006-2021 I worked in a variety of roles at multiple locations of Long & McQuade's Musical Instruments.
I started my MYC teacher journey in 2009, and to date have taught students of all ages and abilities (including adults), and from many different walks of life. This includes teaching music at Sketch Working Arts in downtown Toronto, an art studio space for homeless and street-involved youth. I previously worked in Pattaya, Thailand with the Father Ray Foundation, working with many marginalized populations, including teaching music to blind children.
I completed my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson), receiving a Global Undergraduate Award for my research wheelchair accessibility on the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). In August 2018, as part of my BSW, I was emergency evacuated from the worst monsoon flooding in 100 years in southern India, while collaborating with members of rural communities to examine water use and conceptualize sustainable water practices (work presented at the 4th World Disaster Management Conference in Mumbai, 2019). My academic journey led me to the Ted Rogers School of Management Marketing Department where I have been working since Winter 2021. My work involves lecturing in one of the top business schools in Canada about Client Relationship Management in the Advanced Market Planning Capstone course.
One consistent theme across my career has been a commitment to positive student development both domestically and internationally. In my music teaching studio, this includes development of our music tutoring network. Many of our music tutors are MYC graduates, securing high school volunteer hours, and applying their music education to the next generation of learners.
Music education has always been an important part of my life, and something that I have felt imperative to share with others in all kinds of ways. I look forward to teaching children music at the most crucial stage of learning any kind of language, providing them with the tools that were most vital of instilling such a passion of music in me since the age of 3 years old.
Musically Yours,
Michelle Fedorowich

Client Testimonials:
Testimonial from Yuhong He - parent (since year one!) of one of my top MYC graduates who went on to complete his Level 10 RCM. She is a professor at University of Toronto Mississauga; Chair, Department of Geography, Geomatics and Environment:
"Michelle, I truly appreciate everything you have done for us - both me and Eric. We truly enjoyed every lesson we have taken with you! Learning music could be both 'boring' and full of challenges. But you have made it so easy and enjoyable (ok at least to me music could be boring and full of challenges). Being a student for more than 20 years and teaching many courses for a few years as a professor now, I do know you are a one-of-a-kind teacher who knows her subject matter, knows how to teach the same information in many different ways to assure understanding, knows where kids need more instructions, and last but not least, knows how to make learning FUN. After coming back from your class yesterday, I reviewed all the videos and photos we took for Eric during your music concerts and realized how much he has grown up - both musically and physically. I knew music will be part of Eric's life, thanks to you. I am not a musical person, but I am also proud of myself, because I am no longer music blind - I was so envious of my officemate because she can play 'Mary had a little lamb' on a piano when we were working on our PhD projects back 10 years ago. I can play those songs too now! :) "
Testimonial of a MYC parent, Anjani Goral – Clinical Psychologist, on their hybrid learning experience in the program:
Our experience with Ms. Michelle’s music class has been such a pleasant surprise. We were amazed by how much our daughter learned in such a short period of time. Music for Young Children teaches music and explains notes in a way that makes it accessible and engaging. I honestly didn’t realize children that young could actually learn and understand real musical concepts the way they did in this class.
At the beginning, my husband and I were skeptical about the hybrid format. We worried that during in-person classes, attention would be divided because of the online students and that we wouldn’t get the support needed to properly learn. We were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly Ms. Michelle managed both groups at the same time. She was incredibly attentive and always able to catch what we were doing and provide guidance when needed.
The online option also ended up being so much more valuable than we expected. We used it frequently while travelling, and it made it possible to stay consistent with classes instead of missing weeks. Overall, it was such a positive experience and we would absolutely recommend Ms. Michelle’s program to other families.
Testimonial from a MYC parent, Jas Kainth, after returning to the program a few years later:
"Your classes are so beyond organized and presented very well! You put more than 100 percent in your classes and your students. You are always there to answer our questions promptly (you don't mind me bothering you! Lol) and with clarity which speaks volume to the type of business you run."
Testimonial from a MYC parent, Brent MacKinnon, regarding COVID-19 shifts into online music classes:
"Just a note of thanks for your resilience in keeping the music classes going throughout the COVID pandemic. I am sure it wasn't easy. You have always maintained a bright and positive demeanor for everyone. Adalyn and I are grateful to be part of it. It has become an important part of our lives."
Testimonial from Sheila Goveas - a long time supporter of our studio, and proud MYC parent of two children who completed their Level 7 RCM credentials and high school credits:
"You are an amazing teacher - not just piano but also teaching them to be disciplined, having fun, being grateful, and sharing your talents with the underprivileged and not giving up. I'm glad the kids got to learn from your experiences."
