Mike executed my ambiguous concept for a podcast introduction and outro with exceptional expertise, infusing it with vibrancy. Not only did he complete the project expeditiously, but also, the resulting output exceeded my expectations.

Mike gave my wife guitar lessons that were beyond perfection, according to her feedback.

I have come to appreciate several aspects of my lessons with Mike. Firstly, his easy-going personality and approachable teaching style have made me feel comfortable and less anxious as a student. Mike prioritizes my learning, but also acknowledges the demands of my adult life which may hinder my study progress. Moreover, he takes great care in ensuring that I understand the material thoroughly, never hesitating to answer my questions and showing immense patience. His teaching style can be likened to that of a popular college professor, regardless of the subject. A notable aspect of Mike's teaching is his genuine love for music and his enjoyment of sharing it with his students. I have found that I can learn from a teacher who is passionate about their subject and makes the learning process enjoyable. I highly recommend Mike's lessons to other adult students, particularly beginners. Despite my prior years of playing experience, I had weak musical knowledge. However, after just a month of lessons, I have learned much more than just how to play the guitar. It has been refreshing to have a teacher who is eager to teach the meaning behind the music.

Summing up my experience with Mike thus far, I must say it has been an enjoyable one. Despite playing guitar for over 14 years, my grasp of music theory was incomplete. Fortunately, Mike has been instrumental in bridging these gaps. He efficiently identifies your strengths and weaknesses, providing tailored solutions to address the latter. What's more impressive is his ability to make learning music theory an enjoyable undertaking. He also offers invaluable guidance in learning and writing songs. Additionally, I feel at ease asking him questions during the week, knowing he'll respond promptly. Overall, Mike has been a great mentor and a valuable resource.
