I have had the best experience with EJ Michels that I could possibly imagine. I have not run across a teacher in the musical arts who has made me feel so comfortable and motivated ! I have been a musician most of my life without any prior voice training and I am shy about my singing . EJ is so good at bringing me out of my shell . He really listens to what my own vision as an artist is . We are working on ways to bring out sides of my voice I didn’t think even existed ! I have taken 3 lessons so far and can already confidently say I hear and feel the improvement in my singing. EJ is a brilliant and gifted vocalist , piano player and song writer with his own amazing musical career successes . Go listen to his music and you’ll mesmerized by his gorgeous voice and fantastic music . What an incredible opportunity it is to be taught by such a genuine talent ! Plus he’s such a nice guy !

I’ve recently started my journey with coach michels, he was very responsive when I reached out. He made me feel extremely comfortable & confident during my first lesson. Can’t wait to experience more! He’s amazing.

I’ve been singing all of my life, but I’ve lacked the fine tuning needed to be a good quality singer. He didn’t make the lesson hard at all. When it came time to sing I felt like it flowed well and was easier. I was impressed and will continue going.

I started voice lessons a few weeks ago with EJ Michael’s, and I’m blown away by my progress. Prior to working with him, I’d never had voice lessons before, but I’d purchased several online courses through Udemy and watched online tutorials on youtube, and I was frustrated and unsure about how to progress. It’s hard to put into words just how amazing it is to work with someone who is so professional, kind and encouraging and knows the latest cutting edge vocals techniques and can teach and demonstrate how to sing anything you want to sing. He’s an incredible singer, songwriter, and producer who is can sing as well if not better my favorite artists, and even though he’s extremely busy at times touring the world as the lead singer of his band Foreign Figures, performing and giving inspirational live performances and talks at schools and venues like TEDx Salt Lake City, he somehow manages to pour an incredible amount energy into helping his students to achieve their goals. I studied classical piano for 8 years while I was growing up, and I've always had a pretty nice voice. I played the piano professionally for church for years, and but for some reason, I had the misconception that you’re stuck with the voice you’re born with and until very recently I didn't know it was possible to build muscle memory in my voice with vocal exercises. I can't believe how much range, control and power I've gained in less than a month of doing the exercises every day and having weekly lessons with EJ Michels. I finally feel like I'm building the tools I need to make music I love because I have my whole voice to work with, not just a limited range. It feels so good because for the first time in 20 years or so, I feel like I’m making real progress, having fun and enjoying my life. The money I’ve spent on lessons with EJ Michels is hands down the best money I’ve ever spent pursuing my goals in music, and I can’t say enough good things about him.

My husband has always enjoyed singing so he set a goal to become better. After only 3 lessons, his skills and confidence have improved greatly. I can already tell a difference. He says, "he's the best voice coach I've ever had!" (EJ is also the first 😉)
