Below are some quotes from a student and parent.
“I have had the privilege of having Mike as my mentor for 11 years now. I was eight years old when I started and was hooked ever since. His passion for the instrument and unique style of teaching was monumental in my success as a student. ”.
Darren Nussbaum
“My son had guitar teachers that he did not click with. He was almost ready to give up UNTIL he met Mike Dorio. Mike encouraged my son to love and appreciate guitar in a way that I did not think possible. He is still playing at 19. He started at age 8”.
Lynn Nussbaum
Below is a quote from Tom Schaudel, chef, author and current student.
“I’ve known Mike Dorio for over ten years. He’s an amazing guitar player and musician, a kind and patient teacher, and a great friend. If you want to learn how to play the guitar, or improve on what you already know, you’ll want to study with Mike. He’s simply the best!”View more recommendations
