Thanks to his skillful guidance in clarinet, my daughter's interest in the instrument has been maintained and her proficiency improved. Despite our experience with other tutors who failed to establish a rapport with my child, he has managed to strike the right balance and kept her engaged during the sessions. His passion for music as well as educating is evident in the progress his pupils make.

Michael is the third instructor that my 12 year old son has had in the last three years. After a couple of lessons, my son claimed that he has learned the most from Michael. My son has requested to practice the jazz band piece under Michael's guidance before the audition. We appreciate Michael's flexibility of travelling to our home and prompt communication and punctuality.
