“You music makes me think of the warm sun on my back on a crisp, blue day. Absolutely beautiful :)”

“MAJOR PROPS on your Christmas album! Right now, it's the best one of this current year's crop that I've heard - by far. I love your originals AND your choice of traditionals! GREAT playing on your part - so nuanced and delicate, which makes it a great choice for fireside listening late at night, after all the stress of the holiday season. And what can I say about the cover except "Perfecto!" Well done, m'lady - well done, indeed!”

“More than just an amazing performer, her composition abilities rival, if not exceed other pianists in this genre.”

“A completed vision, her work is quality.”

“Just heard Learning To Fly off Dedication - first I've heard of Michele McLaughlin. Wow. Can't say much else beyond that at the moment.”

“The title of the album, Christmas – Plain & Simple, truly captures Michele Mclaughlin’s style. If you enjoy solo piano music, you’ll love the simple yet sophisticated style Michele brings to holiday classics. This album is an ideal choice for background music at intimate seasonal gatherings or mellow holiday parties. It’s especially well suited to set a relaxed, peaceful tone for the holidays.”

“Wow, thatz wonderfully stated, I don't think i could say anything that sums this musician up any better... "She seems to quietly be dancing somewhere, like a little child in falling snow who is unaware anyone can see her. Her musicality is breathtaking and deeply stirs with in."”

“She seems to quietly be dancing somewhere, like a little child in falling snow who is unaware anyone can see her. Her musicality is breathtaking and deeply stirs with in. She is beautiful. Don't miss a chance to listen.”

“Great Christmas CD”

“The music is unbelievably good.”

“beautiful listening”

“I love the way she plays”

“Beautiful! Her style captured me from the first note.”

“This is some of the best music of this style I have ever heard”

“I adore the song Learning to Fly. The music is beautiful and flowing and the title captures everything perfectly.”

“Really nice music - a lot of new age piano pieces lose their way - the artist had a good idea and didn't finish it. Learning to Fly is a complete work - the theme builds and grows and is never lost.”

“More than just an amazing performer, her composition abilities rival, if not exceed other pianists in this genre.”

“Wow.... I can't believe I have lived without Michele.The music is so flowing with feeling and it's not over complicated with rich undertones.”

“Maybe she is George Winstons soul mate.”

“Great flowing music”

“Beautiful artistry. Love the work.”

““A Celtic Dream” is quite a musical excursion and rekindles my desire to see Ireland myself.”

“My favorite piece is “Irish Rain.” Here the repetitive left hand pattern mimics rain falling while the right illustrates the mist that comes with the rain. Mysterious and melancholy, it evokes feelings of longing as well as the chill that comes with a misty rain.”

“Many of the pieces have an infectious energy and upbeat drive, while others are more subdued and reflective, creating a rich palette of moods and musical colors.”

"McLaughlin’s music comes from the heart, bringing a bit of musical sunshine to her listeners."

"There is nothing complicated about McLaughlin’s music (nor does there need to be), and her messages are warm and inviting, describing life and experiences that are mostly on the calm and contented side."

"McLaughlin has an energetic and often dramatic style that indicates how personal this music is to her. Her melodies are always interesting and engaging and range in mood from quiet calm to rather turbulent."

“McLaughlin’s touch is strong and confident, yet full of grace and expression.”

"If you enjoy the talents of George Winston, for example, you will be swept away by McLaughlin's bright and emotive touch."

"I heard "The Lonely Ballerina" by Michele McLaughlin and instantly fell in love with it. A great deal of her music sounds like it could come from a music box, and I love it. I really do."

"This IS Christmas! Beautiful music really sets the mood of this wonderful time of year! Listening to Micheles smooth, touch helps me keep my perspective in this hectic time of year!"

"You can feel the passion you have in your music. its beautiful! one of the most beautiful piano cd's i have ever heard. I feel the passion in each and every song and the title is perfect for each song. thanks you"

"Beautiful music Michelle ! So relaxing. I love it. Thanks."

"Loved your new CD Enjoyed it very much. Very peaceful and relaxing to listen to."

"more inspiring piano. Like the rest of Michele's cds, the music (all piano) is easy to listen to without being boring. Perfect for listening to again and again and again."

"soulful piano music you can listen to again and again. If you like piano music, this and Michele's other cd's are must haves. Uncomplicated, yet each time you listen, you pick up more of the nuances of each tune. It's perfect for my massage business."

"McLaughlin certainly has nothing to hide as a musician. She has a clean, musical style. She has genuine compositional talent, and a style which is a bit similar to that of Wayne Gratz. Her music is endlessly listenable."

"Really, really like it! I really like this CD. So far my favorite piece on it is The Beginning of Forever, but all of the songs grow on me more and more as I listen. Other favorites are Russian Music Box and The Fairies Dance."

"I'm just speechless! Wow! Hard to describe heartbeats and chills, but that what your music provides. To me you reached the peak of Art: make us dream, make our mind travel and make our heart pound faster and warmer. More than a standing ovation I bow admiratively to your music! Bravo"
