Experienced tutor in Guitar, Mike offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

My son has been taking guitar with Mike for over 3 yrs and it has been a great experience. Mike teaches at their speed, and ensures they master the basics before moving on to challenges which may cause frustration. I am very happy with his lesson services for my son.

Mike is a fantastic teacher. I took lessons from him for about 4 years and I learned so much. He tailored each lesson to my goals and I enjoyed every second of it. I'm currently studying contemporary music and songwriting at a college in Nashville, TN and Mike was a great help whil I prepared for my auditions. Not only did he help me with the songs I had to prepare but also taught me Music Theory and Eartraining which have put me ahead of the game when I entered school this past fall. I would recommend him to anyone.

I have been with Mike for the past 6 years since I was in elementary school and have enjoyed learning to play guitar and read music. Apart from teaching guitar he has exposed me to variety of music styles and has always been encouraging me to improve myself. He has been my favorite teacher because he was always willing to listen to my interests and tune his teachings accordingly.

I am an adult student. Mike is an uncommon guitar teacher in that he combines a very friendly and effective teaching style with real music educations. You can learn songs on the internet, but you need a real teacher to deliver the building blocks of melody, rhythm, scales, chords, and songs, and to teach you the language of music.

One of the great joys of music is to play with other musicians. Mike can give you the tools to do this. Added bonus: Student Concerts! They are a blast!

Mike was by far the best teacher I had when I began taking guitar seriously. He was attentive, knowledgable and easy to speak with. He creates a relaxed environment and motivated myself and other students I knew to make great improvement during our time with him. I would recommend him to any beginning or intermediate player looking to learn and improve.

I took bass lessons with Mike through middle and high school. Mike was always a very kind and approachable teacher, a great personality for both kids and adults. I am in college as a music major now and have always had an edge on my peers because of theory, improvisation and ear training skills I learned with mike. I mostly worked on jazz in my lessons during highschool but in middle school Mike made sure to keep me interested by helping me learn anything I was interested in, from Iron Maiden to motown funk! Mike is a very flexible teacher with great understanding of music as a whole so he will be excited to help you make music whether its learning you or your kids favorite songs or reading classical duets. Highly recommended for both guitar and bass students!

I was a student of Mike's in high school. Not only did he teach me the things that I thought were cool and hip, like contemporary pop rock and stuff, but he taught the beauty of music. Mike taught me how to read music and play guitar, as a soloist and with others. I'm very grateful for the time I was under his teachering. I got to fellowship with other musicians for biannual concerts and I learned how to play within a group. He helped me become confident in playing any tab I could find online, as well as the foundations of sight reading. As a result, I can now play in almost any band, church ensemble, or jazz band. He taught me the importance of practicing everyday. He said, "one day without practice, and you'll know it. Two days and your teacher knows it. Three days, and the audience knows it." Mike is also a very friendly guy and a family man. His friendship is awesome and he's full of experience and talent.

I have been learning guitar from Mike for 3 years, and have learned more than I even thought possible. He is a very good, friendly teacher, and very easy to talk to. I have had amazing experiences at his wonderful student performed concerts.

Mike has been patiently teaching my son for over two years which has worked miracles for his confidence and determination to master the instrument. Great work, Mike!

Excellent teacher, very patient and. encouraging. Always putting the students needs first. Very accommodating if we have needed to change a class day or time. We have been with Mike for two years now and are very happy.
