About Mike

I started teaching while I was studying for my Bachelors degree in the UK. It was a great way for a student to earn extra money! As a result of this I realized what fun teaching was and how rewarding it could be and decided to pursue a career as a music teacher. I've been doing it ever since!



I have a Bachelors Degree in music plus a teaching diploma combined with nearly 40 years experience as both a classroom music teacher and private instructor. I also hold a current Arizona k-12 teaching certificate specializing in music and have a current Arizona fingerprint clearance card which means that I have undergone all necessary background checks to enable me to teach and work with students.

It is important for a student to feel comfortable with their teacher, and so typically when I first meet you I will want to get to know you, find out exactly what excites you about music and why you want to learn. If you have played before, I will also ask you questions to help give me an idea of your previous musical experience. Very often students are nervous when they meet a new teacher for the first time, so my main aims are to make you feel relaxed and to inspire confidence. Always remember that the student/teacher relationship is very definitely a two way thing, so at the end of your first lesson I will ask you if you feel that you can work with me. If you think that I am not the right teacher for you then please say so! I will not be offended at all and since our first meeting is a free trial lesson you won’t have lost anything!



I've worked with a wide range of students over the years, including those with special educational needs and physical disabilities. The youngest student I have taught was just 4 years old, and going to the other end of the spectrum I've given lessons to many senior citizens, the oldest being 78. You are never too old to start an instrument!





Take your time choosing....remember that you don't have to take the first teacher that comes along because it is important to find someone who  makes you feel comfortable so that you can build a good working relationship with them. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Every question is important, and you are not expected to know the answers or you wouldn’t be talking to me! So if in doubt ask...and if you still don't understand ask again! It's my job as a teacher to help you understand...and I love it when you do:)



It's hard to single out an individual moment, because I've had so many memorable experiences over the years. However, just in general, I still get a buzz after nearly 40 years of teaching when I see a student "get it" and achieve results. I love what I do!



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out


Why did you choose this particular instrument? What inspired you to want to learn to play it?  Have a clear idea as to exactly what it is you are hoping to learn and why you want to do it!  Would your daily routine allow you to find time to practice regularly?  Many students mistakenly think that the total amount of time  spent practicing is more important than how often they practice. This is not true! 15 minutes regular practice 6 days a week is so much better than going for 3 or 4 days without playing and then sitting down and trying to do an hour straight off! Why just 6 days? I always allow myself to have one day a week off, and  always return to the piano refreshed and ready for more. You should do the same...it really works!
