Michele treats the students she meets with equity, openness, and takes a humorous and personable approach to her clinics as she integrates the technical aspects while making it a point to discuss the spiritual nature of sharing the gift of music between composer, player and audience.
Many students/ parents/ directors have reached out to her in writing after her clinics to share that the experience affected them in a holistic and inspiring way. She also makes it a point to talk to, and connect- the audience to the dedicated humans on stage, and strives to truly unify the entire room during every performance.

“Michele Fernández is an incredible and versatile clinician. I have been fortunate to have her clinic for several years at our Jazz Camp in the FSU Summer Music Camps. Her ability to connect with kids of all ages and abilities is outstanding. She is equally effective in either jazz or concert band settings, with wind instruments, or rhythm sections. Michele’s caring, fun personality is special and students simply want to perform with her. Few clinicians match her musicianship, personality, and professionalism. I cannot recommend her strongly enough!”
Dr. Steve Kelly, Florida State University

Tennessee-Mid State High School Jazz Ens: My (director) friends also watched a great deal of Michele’s rehearsals and have been talking about the experience for about an hour now. She is an amazing teacher, an incredible emotional and musical leader. For the final performance, the kids played just as well (if not better in moments) than the more advanced group. They wished all of the students were there to hear the messages she spoke about life. Watching reminded so many of us why we teach (for ALL our kids)!!
