About Michael

Honestly, I don't consider what I do to be work. I am very fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. Music is one of my true passions in life, and I enjoy being able to pass on my knowledge and skills to others.
After playing for more than 10 years, I decided that I wanted to share my knowledge and experience with others. I already had some teaching experience (different subject), and just decided that teaching music was something I wanted to do.
I studied under a jazz major who was an incredible musician and teacher. She instilled in me an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory. Since completing my first 2 years of lessons, I continued to learn on my own. I believe that in order to be the best you can be, you must continue to learn. I have now been playing for over 24 years, but I have never stopped learning.
About the lesson

All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
The first lesson is an opportunity to get to know my students, what kind of music they like, and why they want to learn guitar. I also want to listen to the student play, even if they haven't had any formal lessons. And of course it is a way for the students and parents to get to know me, and decide if I am the right teacher for them.
I will teach anyone who wants to learn. I have worked with students from 7 to 78 years of age. I teach a lot of beginners, but I also work with experienced musicians. With my vast knowledge of music theory, I can help anyone become a better musician.
Look for a teacher with experience and a true passion for music and teaching. Look for someone who is patient and has a system of teaching that makes learning the guitar fun and easy. You also want a teacher who will focus on helping the students achieve their goals.
I recently had a young student, about 11 years old, who wrote his first song. He was really happy about writing his first song. And I know he was proud of what he had accomplished. I was very proud of him too. This is what makes learning an instrument so great for kids. As they continue to improve as a musician, they start to discover their own creativity and begin to play and write songs that they didn't think they could. And these kind of accomplishments really help to build confidence and self esteem. To me, that is what music is all about. It gives you a positive and constructive activity that helps you discover your own creativity and be able to express yourself through music.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Are you passionate about music? Why do you want to learn guitar? Are you willing to make the commitment to the learning process? Do you have the dedication to practice every day? It is important that potential students understand that learning the guitar is a lot of hard work. You must be committed to a learning process that can take years. And you must have the dedication to practice every single day. If you don't practice, you will not make any progress, and you will not last long as a student.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Mike is reliable, knowledgeable and flexible in scheduling. His rates are the most reasonable I’ve found. I have been taking lessons for over a year and I have improved quite a bit. Mikes strength is his knowledge of theory. My goal was to go beyond strumming and really understanding how music works and Mike is helping me get there. For beginners and intermediates that don’t know theory, I would definitely recommend Mike.
Mike relates well to his students. He inspires and gives incentives designed for each student. Mike also incorporates contemporary music instead of just notes or songs in isolation. He gives all his students the skill and motivation to write and perform their own songs. Mike is able to communicate to his broad knowledge of playing in order to teach not only skills, but many techniques that enable his students to perform with more ease and pleasure. Along with the reasonable cost and convenience of in-home lessons, Mike is a perfect option for our grandson to learn guitar.
Mike is a patient, no pressure teacher who is well-versed in the guitar as well as the nuts and bolts of music. I’ve gotten a lot from my lessons and feel with his help I can raise both my knowledge and skill level.
