Description:

I adopt a collaborative teaching style, tailoring the lessons to the student's musical aspirations and progressing at a comfortable speed. Alongside preparing personalized learning aids, such as tablature, leadsheets, and practical theory instructions, I devote my spare time to mastering the student's favored music pieces to ensure a productive lesson experience.

Explaining the musical mechanics behind different techniques and observing the student's mental "aha" moment when they have a breakthrough are aspects of teaching that truly delight me.

I received an initial guitar lesson from Michael, who was both patient and organized, providing me with handouts as part of his lesson plan. We collaboratively identified how to effectively reach my desired musical milestones and tackle the songs I am keen on learning. With Michael's expert guidance and direction, I am certain that I will be able to master the guitar. Much appreciation, Michael!

My children are receiving guitar lessons from Micheal, who impresses me with his ability to communicate with them on a level they can understand. His unique approach has won over my kids, who eagerly anticipate his weekly lessons. Engaging him to teach my children has proven to be a wise choice.

As a guitar instructor, Michael is observant and remarkably well-informed. He has the fretboard mapped out with ease and imparts his extensive knowledge in a highly engaging manner. Collaborating with him on melodious compositions is tremendously uplifting as he regularly presents such occasions. Additionally, he's a wonderful person one can chat about music theory, culture, and more. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly vouch for him. Your experience with him as a guitar mentor will be nothing short of exceptional! - Sincerely, Adrian, high schooler

At 25 years old, I am employed fulltime and possess limited experience in music with some self-taught guitar skills. Seeking guidance and direction in my playing, I enlisted Mike's services for lessons. Mike has been accommodating with scheduling around my work commitments and prepares thoughtful resources for each session tailored to my goals. His instruction has centered on styles and artists to align with my aspirations, resulting in a more focused and productive practice and an increase in my confidence as a player in just a few months. In retrospect, I wished I had sought Mike's tutelage years earlier.
