About Mike
I am a passionate vocal instructor dedicated to helping people discover the voice they were meant to sing with. My approach combines technical vocal training with patience, encouragement, and a deep understanding of how the voice physically works. I especially enjoy working with beginners and people who may feel insecure about their singing ability, because I believe almost anyone can learn to sing with the right guidance and training.
Over the years, I have developed a practical, easy-to-understand teaching style that focuses on building confidence, strengthening the voice naturally, and removing unnecessary tension and fear from singing. I create a relaxed, judgment-free environment where students can grow at their own pace and enjoy the process of finding their unique sound.

Singing is an athletic, muscular process, and there are a number of very specific muscle groups which need exercise. Much like a personal trainer in the gym, my method helps you develop and strengthen them.
Unlock the full potential of your voice with personalized, expert guidance. I specialize in helping students discover their authentic, powerful singing voice, teaching techniques that focus on strong diaphragm support for enhanced volume, strength, and control. Whether you're struggling with pitch, tone quality, or performance anxiety, I offer solutions tailored to your needs.
No prior music reading skills are necessary—my expertise lies in teaching students of all levels, from beginners with no formal training to seasoned singers looking to refine their technique for performances or auditions. If you're a guitar player who sings or aspires to sing, I can help you master the art of seamless vocal and instrumental performance.
Whether your goal is to excel at karaoke, prepare for an audition, or simply sing for the joy of it, I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages and backgrounds grow in confidence and skill. Watching my students develop their voices and achieve remarkable results is incredibly rewarding.

Perfect! Michael is a pro. Great technique ideas and easy to follow instructions so you can actually sing songs, not just scales or vocal exercises. Helped me immensely.
Perfect! Working with Michael has been an incredible experience. He has a great way of explaining techniques clearly, and I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my vocal strength and confidence. His lessons are supportive, professional, and motivating, making each session enjoyable and productive.
- Thank you so much, Gracie! It's a real pleasure working with someone as talented as yourself!Mike's response :
Perfect! Michael is a great encourager but also can pin point exactly what you need to work on. I would highly recommend him!
- Thanks so much, Addy! It’s so fun working with you. You have a beautiful voice!Mike's response :
Perfect! Michael’s vocal lessons are incredible! As a student, I’ve seen his coaching in action—one of our fellow singers won a karaoke contest and took home $500! I was there to witness it, and his energetic, supportive teaching truly makes a difference. He’s built an amazing community of passionate singers!
Perfect! Michael is an amazing vocal coach. Very thorough and knowledgeable. I truly enjoy working with him and I’d highly recommend him to anyone! Tysm Michael! I deeply love working with you!!!
Perfect! Michael has been great to work with! I got with him because I wanted to win a karaoke competition (which I did!). I enjoy enjoy the level of detail in his lessons; I would definitely recommend him if you want to take your vocal sound to the next level!
Perfect! I always thought of my singing as "okay." When I would listen to a recording of myself, I didn't think it was bad; but I also didn't think it was very good. I have no desire to be the next American Idol, but I really wanted to be able to pull out my guitar and sing around the fire or during parties and have people really enjoy it. However, because I lacked confidence in my ability, I had performance anxiety. In fact, I had never sung in front of anybody before. During my very first lesson with Michael, he had me stand in the middle of his living room and sing a song of my choosing. I was very nervous. However, once I began singing, he immediately made me feel comfortable. It got to where I would look forward to my lessons so I could sing in front of an audience!
I was astounded that during my very first lesson, he was able to identify and correct a habit of mine that I would hear in my recordings which made them sound amateurish. So, after only one lesson, I was already ahead of where I was prior to meeting with him. Eventually, Michael explained to me that I already possessed most of the skills I would need to be a good singer. He compared my voice to a "wild horse that just needs to be tamed." As I would sing for Michael, it seemed he was always able to identify the exact same spot of a song that I myself recognized that didn't sound "right." More importantly, he was able to tell me what I needed to do to remedy the issue.
I am very grateful for Michael for helping to "fine-tune" my voice and helping me with my performance anxiety. I am a better singer because of it. I cannot recommend him enough.Perfect! Michael is a vocal sound engineer. Just by listening to you: he can tell what needs work, how to do the work, and the timeframe in which the work will take place. He is a true musician, in its purest form
- Thank you so much, Patrick! It is an absolute pleasure to work with you. Your enthusiasm and drive are infectious! :Looking forward to continuing our work shaping that powerful voice of yours.Mike's response :
Perfect! Very personable. Has a very good coaching style. I have only taken one lesson so far and feel very comfortable with Michael as my coach.
- Thank you, sir! You're off to a great start. Looking forward to working with you to grow your beautiful voice!Mike's response :
Perfect! I was hesitant about giving this a go since I'm 57, but the grief "singer's" have caused me as a guitar player in a Rock n Roll band drove me to do it. I am so glad I did, Mike is great, very positive, and very knowledgeable concerning everything around singing. I am noticing improvement on a weekly basis, and I am excited about the future. He is a great instructor, hire him.

What I thought was most useful and enabled me to sound my very best was the emphasis Mike placed on preparing to sing. He recognized the diaphragm, larynx, shape of the mouth, position of the tongue, etc. and gave me exercises that prepared all these components to work at their optimum. After these warmups, I was surprised at my range as well as my ability to reach and hold the notes. I use these warmup exercises before I sing publicly, to ensure my instrument is at its best and to get the best result....and the most complements!
He's is a true vocal tactician. Best way to build your inner core muscles. It has helped me walk better.
Michael is a fantastic teacher!! i have been singing for several years but never had any lessons and working with Michael has been a joyful and extremely informative experience. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to sing!
First I want to state that Mike works with all levels. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, Mike will help to make you even better. I happen to be a beginner. Mike worked with me to figure out what techniques would best improve my singing. When I started, I could not sing a scale. I could not distinguish between notes. Now, I can definitely do a scale and I can match notes on a piano. My voice and ear keep improving with every lesson.
Michael has changed my life! I didn't even know I had a good singing voice until he heard me being silly one day at a friend's birthday dinner and expertly critiqued my musical peal of silliness! I was dumbstruck and thrilled but had too much performance anxiety to even sing in front of a teacher. He knew exactly how to work with someone like me, and I am having the absolute time to my life! Michael has the unique ability to begin working with each student exactly where they are so that you leave each lesson feeling like you've truly accomplished something. I have learned so many amazing ways to improve my quality of singing from Michael that I have grown leaps and bounds in the short amount of time that I have been working with him. But the biggest thing of all is the confidence that he has helped bring out of me to release my singing soul! Best teacher, hands down!
