About
As a founding member of Mt. Joy and seasoned bassist and producer, I offer a comprehensive music curriculum to students interested in learning bass or production. We start with the basics of music theory and playing technique, including finger position, reading, transcription, scale and modal exercises. For students interested in production, we focus on developing a quick workflow within their music recording software, whether that's with their own original music or a track we build together.The curriculum is tailored to each student's level and long and short-term goals. I graduated with a bachelor's of music from Columbia College Chicago and have years of experience both on the road and in the studio with Mt. Joy. I'm passionate about passing on the knowledge I've gained from past mentors and am eager to learn from my students as we both grow in the world of music. Additionally, if a student is interested, we can take their original music further and record and produce in my home studio setup.

My son had an excellent experience with this person. They were courteous and went above and beyond by dedicating their Sunday afternoon to assist my son in finding the perfect guitar. Moreover, they did not charge me for their help. I cannot express enough gratitude for their assistance in helping my son develop his guitar skills.

For approximately four years, Michael and I had the honor of composing, jamming, and entertaining audiences together while residing in Chicago. We embarked on several nationwide tours, captivating high-energy crowds in professional settings almost every night. Frankly, I cannot praise Michael enough.
As a percussionist, I felt secure and at ease knowing that Michael was entirely invested in my rhythm. He motivated me to undergo routine rhythm section practices while paying close attention to every detail. With his extensive musical expertise, he can proficiently perform nearly any genre. He effectively communicates and teaches instrument concepts at all proficiency levels. He maintains an unwavering focus and weekly goals for self-improvement.
I highly recommend Michael as a top-notch bassist for any musical endeavor.
