About
There are many teachers who just show you how to play songs and nothing else. Other teachers might be very good at their craft, but lack the ability to teach it effectively. I stand out because I am a successful and accomplished musician, but I also give lessons that are effective, easy to understand, and give clear instructions on what to practice and how to practice it. I also feel that lessons should be more than just teaching a student to play a song (You can use YouTube for that!) We learn songs to teach a deeper understanding of music theory and how it relates to your instrument. My goal is to get my students to a point where they don't need lessons anymore and to become well-rounded musicians. I get to spend my entire day playing music! And, the sense of gratification I get when I see my students improve and become more confident as a performer.

Hired on Thumbtack

I've been taking lessons with Mike for the past two months now and I really couldn't have hoped for a better teacher. I started as a complete beginner, but was able to quickly grasp the fundamentals. Mike has this way of sculpting his lessons so they are easy to follow, you feel like you've made the best use of your time, while having fun playing music. I also enjoy our interactions during the lessons as he is very genuine and empathetic. I'm thoroughly enjoying learning from him and would definitely recommend taking lessons from Mike for anyone who is interested in learning how to play the guitar!

I first started working with Mike 3 years ago when I was 12, knowing nothing about the guitar, and now I'm writing my own songs and learning other people's too! Mike is a superb teacher and a real down to Earth person! His knowledge and experience is incredible, he can listen to a song and pick out chords and notes, and he makes learning new things fun and easy to understand. When you take lessons with Mike you can play whatever style guitar you like, and he'll help you with whatever you ask for, whether it be music theory or just learning that song that's stuck in your head. I am extremely impressed with Mike's lessons and his excellent work ethic. Mike is an awesome guy who is fun, responsible, on time, trustworthy, reliable, and an epic guitarist who has recorded his own songs that are magnificent! So if you're thinking about taking lessons Mike is the way to go!

FAQs

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    There are a lot of people out there who know how to play guitar and offer lessons. My advice is to learn from a professional, educated instructor who can teach you to become a well-rounded musician. To become a skilled musician takes years of dedicated practice and often times a lot of money to attend a good music college. Lessons from a good instructor might be expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for.
