Introduction: My name is Mike. I have been a professional music instructor for around 15 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.

Mike has been giving guitar lessons to my daughter for a little over a year now. He has been an amazing teacher, offering great patience, knowledge, and creates a calm and comfortable environment for my daughter. I would highly recommend Mike and I always look forward to see what new and creative abilities my daughter has learned. Thanks Mike!

Based on our first lesson together, I think Mike is an excellent teacher. He was able to very quickly gauge my level of guitar knowledge from my time spent self-teaching, and created a lesson that was tailored to me on the spot. I highly recommend Mike and am looking forward to working with him going forward.

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!!

Mike is very knowledgeable but also very personable. His lessons are very interactive. Like any good teacher, he doesn't just show you, he shows you and then asks you to show him. I recommend him to anyone
