Michelle Sulkin, Owner

Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, Michelle was always surrounded by music growing up. Whether it was taking lessons, participating in choir and musical theatre at school, going to concerts or even watching her friends play in their own bands; she always felt a connection to music.  While playing an instrument was not the career path she chose, she knew she wanted to keep music in her life. Before they were married in 2011, Michelle began working with Jason to help build the school and expand on what he had created. So while she does not teach, Michelle is a key part of the backbone to the business side of the school and she takes pride in helping others begin their journey on fostering their musical passions.
