Introduction

My name is Mike. I have been a professional music instructor for around 20 years now. I teach all skill levels and styles. If you're interested in theory, technique, shredding, reading music, composition, harmony or even learning your favorite songs, I'm definitely your man. I'm a vocal instructor as well just in case you were ever interested in tightening up your game before your next performance. Hit me up, we'll talk turkey and get you started.

Mike is superb in all areas of instruction. I am enjoying learning, and his ability to make the guitar lessons rewarding. He is obviously a great guitarist, but his ability to evaluate any level of guitar playing and make necessary improvements is a great value. Mike is an excellent communicator. He seems to make understanding the guitar less complicated during the learning process.

Working with Mike is a great experience. He is patient, encouraging, and kind. As an anxious beginner, this was important. Highly recommended.

From lesson 1, Mike is professional and helps make sense of playing the guitar. He's talented at teaching and his availability was the best I found for my crazy schedule!!
