Graduate from UCLA Global Jazz Studies Program, music teacher for 10+ years

Mike is not only a superb teacher, he is amazingly accomplished musician. My lessons with Mike have been and will continue to be, one of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. I will recommend Mike to anyone with a serious desire to not only make music, but understand and appreciate it as well.

Michael is an excellent instructor. Not only is he skilled in several instruments including the bass guitar, he is knowledgeable, patient and able to take complex ideas and break them down into beginner terms. He also takes the time to learn the favorite music genres of the student and adapt the lessons accordingly. I highly recommend Michael as a music teacher.

Amazing teacher, clear instructions and brings insight and experience to the table. Consult with him if you’d like to become a better guitarist

Mike is a very knowledgeable and astute guitarist and teacher. Every time Mike has taught me something he makes it understandable and does not complicate it. He worked with me until I understood what I was playing. He's a very thorough and well-balanced teacher and player. He has a long educational background in music and guitar and you can see the passion when he plays and teaches.
