Introduction: Michael is an accomplished music educator and performer with years of experience teaching individual and group lessons. He has a Bachelors in Music Education from the University of Northern Colorado. Michael works with students of all ages and ability levels as a saxophone, music theory and composition teacher.

My job as a teacher is to unlock passion and potential and guide the development and achievement of all my students. I believe everyone has the ability to be musical and be successful on an instrument. In lessons, we look at what our goals are, whether it's to learn a particular song, learn to improvise, improve technical skills, prepare music for an audition - whatever it might be, and craft a plan together to reach those goals. Music should always be a joyful experience and with the right goals and guidance, I believe it can be.
