"Micheál McCarthy is an outstanding teacher, conductor and musical facilitator. The training that he provides produce a well-equipped, intelligent, thinking, musician's musician. If there was a Micheál McCarthy in every school, what an exciting and wonderfully enriched place Australia would be!"

"Ever since we were colleagues at the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music, where I witnessed his remarkably transformative and inspirational teaching, I have regarded Micheál McCarthy as one of the finest choral directors I know. ...In all, a superb musician for whom I have the utmost respect."

“Many times I have been asked by family, friends and colleagues where to send their kids for music lessons. I always answer, "Cottage Music with Micheál McCarthy!" I could not think of a better start in your child's musical journey than Micheál’s classes!”

"Micheál McCarthy stands out as one of Australia’s foremost Aural and Musicianship teachers... he sustains this through his empathetic teaching style, his extensive experience as an educator and an uncompromising commitment to his own ongoing professional and musical development."

“Bewitchery and beguilery is what I experienced as I sat and watched a master teacher at work... Micheál cajoled and kept those children so interested in the fun they were having that I think they were unaware that they were achieving such high levels of musicianship and musical knowledge!”
