I love how responsive Michael is! He works well with my young daughter and clearly has experience working with small children. I am excited about this working relationship and how it will develop. He is also highly responsive and flexible.

Absolutely fantastic session with Mike! He was personable, knowledgeable, and patient. He provides rationale for his approach and he walks you through effectively utilizing your instrument. I am so excited for my next session, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with him! 100% would recommend booking with Mike!

I’ve never had any training in singing & little experience singing in front of people. This was my first experience with lessons. I had a song prepared to sing at the beginning of the lesson so Michael could evaluate my voice. After 30 minutes of exercises we revisited my song & I was able to sing it in a higher key with better clarity. Amazing! He got so much out of me in such little time! I’m very excited about continuing to work with Michael. He’s fun & personable & really good at reading his students. He’s so positive & supportive it really helped calm my “stage fright”. If you’re looking for effective coaching with empathy and a joy for teaching, book Michael immediately.

I recently had my first lesson with Mike and was blown away by how great it was. First, we ran through several drills, which taught me how to breathe and warm up my vocal cords. Once we got to singing an actual song, I was already more confident and could sing much smoother. He was also very prepared for the session, creating a Zoom link and recording our lesson, which he sent me afterward. Now I can sing along with the recorded lesson as I eagerly await my next class!
