Dr. Michael Guida’s personal style, manner, curriculum, and instruction create an online environment that is supportive, creates confidence, and builds self-esteem along with the development of learning to play the piano in a non-traditional setting. He is a skilled and gifted musician who demonstrates the ability to be fair and firm with student outcomes. He can gracefully move students forward with objective feedback, individual ownership, and a personality that is engaging and fun. As a student, I have been taking classes with Dr. Guida in the online setting for several years. As an ASU faculty member, I have also taught online for the past several years as well. Dr. Guida’s techniques in the online classroom match or even exceed the training that I receive at the university level in methods of online curriculum/instruction. I would highly recommend Dr. Guida and Apolla Academy, the curriculum, approach to instruction, and the opportunity to learn piano with a twist of technology is truely exciting. Thank you, Lisa Mitchell, EdD

As an older piano student initially wanting to brush up on piano techniques, Michael has been an outstanding teacher. HIs patient guidance and insightful instruction have enabled me to progress far beyond what I ever imagined! In a very short period of time under Michael's direction, I regained the joy of playing! I highly recommend him and his Academy of Music for any age and level.

I have been taking virtual piano lessons from Dr. Michael Guida of Apollo Academy of Music for one year. His extraordinary knowledge and teaching skills have helped me accomplish more than I ever thought possible. Dr. Guida is the most patient and inspiring teacher, and the virtual lessons and curriculum are the best. I highly recommend Apollo Academy of Music.

Apollo Academy is the best. Our Teacher Michael is fantastic, not only in his top notch music knowledge, but also in how he can work with both myself (an adult learning piano), and my daughter. Apollo values not just playing music mechanically, but with the heart, feeling the music, and playing with emotion. what a difference that makes. plus the teachers are patient, fun to be with. I can't recommend Apollo high enough. Plus studying virtual is so much easier, yet just as effective than having to rush out of the house after school and through traffic. LOVE IT

After taking a year of virtual piano lessons at Apollo Academy of Music, I could not be any more impressed! The teachers are highly qualified, patient, and masters of piano. Upon signing up, my teacher made a customized curriculum for me that I feel is just perfect for my needs. And the best part is, with my busy schedule, I no longer have to drive anywhere and can even take a lesson during my lunch break. Highly recommend the Apollo Academy!
