Michael Corrette (10 April 1707 – 21 January 1795) was a French composer, organist and author of musical method books. In 1726, Corrette entered into a competition for the post of organist at the Church of Sainte Marie-Madeleine in Paris, but was not selected. He then earned his living as a music teacher (which in fact made him more money than he would have as an organist), and in 1727 he published his first collections of sonatas for various instruments such as the flute, violin, brass, musette, and hurdy-gurdy.
Michel Corrette died on 21 January 1795 in Paris, the city in which he spent almost all of his career, at the age of 87. A street in Rouen, his birthplace, bears his name.
