Micaela McCall

Micaela has taught at Detar for ten years — longer than almost anyone on the roster. She's a professional session player with more than 200 live shows behind her, and a former American Idol contestant. She teaches voice, piano, and beginner guitar, directs several of our student bands, and builds every lesson around the songs students actually want to play. She's the one who gets a shy first-timer singing lead by their first recital.
