If you’re looking to embark on a music journey that is both enriching and rewarding, Michael is the mentor you need by your side. Michael understands the path to musical proficiency begins with a strong foundation in fundamentals. What sets him apart is his ability to make concepts accessible and approachable when things might get intimidating. He’s a kind and generous person who will make you feel supported along the musical path you choose to take. I’m sure you will realize you’re in good hands as you find yourself engaged and wanting to learn more about music!

I have been patiently instructed by Michael for many years. He is VERY smart but keeps things simple and easy to understand. I know he's always focused on having me understand things at the level that is required. Sometimes that means digging into why things need to be understood in a certain way and other times we can skip that. I wish all the teachers I've had in the past took this approach. Highly highly recommended!

Michael is such a patient kind and knowledgeable teacher. I was nervous to learn something new to me but Michael made his lessons approachable and easy to understand. Thank you so much Michael for an amazing class !
