The best way I can describe taking lessons with him is like getting into a college class with the professor that everyone likes regardless of department. Mike is definitely not a burnt out school teacher smoking cigarettes and drinking black coffee during breaks.

Mike’s lessons don’t feel like lessons. You just spend an hour every weekn talking, learning, and listening with someone who can help you advance, and who is even more excited about your progress than you are!

Having been a self-taught metal guitarist for 15 years, I approached music with a rapid-fire style that emphasized speed over subtlety. That all changed when I started lessons with Mike two years ago. Mike’s teaching has been transformative, bridging gaps in my skills that I didn’t even realize existed. Ironically, for a metal player like myself, one of Mike’s greatest lessons has been teaching me the art of slowing down. He emphasized that making every note count is more crucial than playing them quickly. This approach has not only refined my technique but also enriched my musical expression. Under Mike’s guidance, I’ve learned to value the nuances of music, how to interpret music like a language and understanding that there’s more to being a musician than just mastering an instrument. He has helped me evolve from a guitarist into a well-rounded musician. His patience, expertise, and passion for music are evident in every lesson. I am immensely grateful to Mike for not just teaching me how to play better, but for showing me how to listen, feel, and connect more deeply with music.
