About
My teaching standards exceed the norm, because I am so determined to match my teaching skills with the individual student's learning style. Very seldom will one lesson repeat another lesson I have taught.
Seeing students excel is my greatest joy, whether it is by singing "Twinkle, Twinkle" properly, or making it all the way through "Moonlight Sonata", Every student is on an adventure, and I am pleased to be along for the ride.

We were throwing a 72nd birthday party and Mike provided the music. It was great! Acoustic guitar and banjo with a playlist to highlight classic rock and classic country that we all enjoyed. Mike was so kind and very pleasant to have at the party with our friends and family. He has many years of experience, and was professional and responsive in our communication. Thanks again Mike!

I always look forward to my weekly banjo lessons with Mike. Great teacher and has been very patient with a slow learner like myself ! I would not be making near the progress in my playing without his help and guidance. I am very happy with these lessons and hope to continue them for the foreseeable future ..would definitely recommend!!

Michael has been teaching my son for the past four years. After years of work with acoustic and electric guitar, Eliya found his passion is with the bass guitar. I have seen Eliya's confidence soar since he has been working with Michael. It has not only led him to have a strong stage presence, but it has also given him self confidence both academically and socially. Michael works beautifully with Eliya, listening to what he needs and pushing when needed. I have seen my son start a practice routine that asks of him to be disciplined and committed. I believe those are lessons for life and am grateful for having Michael as my son's teacher.

Mike has been my guitar instructor for the past 2 plus years. He has really been a godsend for me.
I had reached a point where I was stalled and not making any progress. Since we got together I feel my
playing ability and understanding of the guitar has improved 100%
Mike keeps the classes interesting and will tailor the lessons to bring out the best in the individual student.
Lastly what I like most about Mike is he gives me certain chord grips that are super difficult for me to execute and will never give me a pass on not learning the chords. I made a commitment to learning these chords and as promised they became easier to play, and help in my overall ability to play.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is very straight-forward; $45 an hour. I can charge so little because my studio rent is so low.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I still take lesson from anyone who has anything to offer, and I take courses online, as well as anything I can read.
