About Michael
I am both a private cello and violin instructor as well as a Music Teacher for the NYC Department of Education. For the DOE, I serve as Strings Director for an award-winning Advanced String Orchestra Program at a public school in Brooklyn. As for private instruction, I have taught hundreds of students over the past 20 years, operating primarily out of TakeLessons.com (until website was closed in 2024). Feel free to reach out to me if you would like to hear more details!

As a conservatory trained cellist, my strengths are teaching students of all ages and abilities, as well as tailoring the methods and techniques used to cater to each individual's goals. With that being said, lessons are typically 45 minutes to an hour long and are broken into 3 sections; scales/arpeggios drills, etude studies, and solo/piece repertoire. I have taught lessons to serious music students studying cello at the high school and college level, as well as those looking to learn the instrument as more of a fun/part-time hobby.

Mike Prevost is an incredible educator that I’ve had the pleasure of working with for many years. From what I’ve seen and heard during his performances, I can’t imagine anyone picking anyone else to teach them strings. It’s no wonder that his orchestra has won awards year after year: he’s that good. The guy is kind, professional, talented, and hard working. So, definitely hire him.
Michael is truly a great teacher that has passion for what he does. He is one of the few people who love what they do and try to expand on it beyond what they themselves can do. Being his student of 3 years really lead me to see his dedication and work ethic with tons of people even ones who don’t deserve it. He will continue to do things he love and push you to love it the same.
Former orchestra teacher, patient and gives good detailed feedback on music.
I worked with Michael Prevost for five years. Together, we created a top notch elementary band and orchestra, a music program that differentiates itself from many others.
Mr. Prevost is meticulous, ambitious, proactive, and always seeks to excel his students. He has ample experience with NYSSMA preparation, consistently achieving near-perfect scores with his students.
Mr. Prevost is someone that is able to teach beginner fundamentals, and also taking his students to more difficult repertoire. Highly recommend!I've known Michael for 7 years now and, having played in an orchestra directed by him for many years, I can vouch for the amazing results you can achieve with Michael. He is patient and kind while also focusing on the small details, pushing his students to refine their skills and achieve incredible heights; for many years has Michael raised the skills of a middle school orchestra to the level of a high school orchestra, even achieving extraordinary results at state-level evaluations like NYSSMA. I would highly recommend Michael to a student looking for a private teacher who can bring the most out of their skills!
Working with Michael for cello lessons was a very positive experience. He is knowledgeable, patient, and helped me grow not only as a cellist but as a musician and performer as well.
Working with Mr. Prevost has been an absolute joy; he is easily one of the best conductors and string teachers I’ve ever known. He strikes a perfect balance between meticulous attention to detail and true musicality, all while maintaining a remarkably high standard of professionalism. I highly recommend him and look forward to the chance to work with him again.
Mr. Prevost was my cello teacher in elementary school, and I returned to him for private lessons in high school because I made more progress with him than anywhere else. With his lessons I improved my technique, built my confidence in reading music, and every lesson was patient and encouraging.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael as a colleague. He is a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated music teacher who is genuinely committed to helping his students grow and succeed. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an inspiring and supportive cello teacher.
