“I took lessons with Michael during my stay at Florida Atlantic University from 2005-2006. During that time, he helped me better understand advanced jazz harmony, chord structures, exploration of melodic ideas, and turned me on to some of the jazz guitar greats. With Michael’s guidance I further pursued my music education and am now a professional session and touring musician in Los Angeles. Thank you Mike!!”

“I highly recommend learning guitar from Michael. After my first few lessons I was already noticeably much better at playing and was also learning guitar faster than I have ever had before. Plus, now I enjoy playing guitar more than I ever have!”

“I’m doing great and enjoying my time at college as a music major. I just wanted to let you Michael, that I am extremely thankful that I was able to have you as my guitar teacher and that I was able to learn from you. I have found that every thing you have taught me has helped me a LOT. I am currently ahead in all of my music classes compared to all of the freshman in my school and still going strong. This would have been impossible for me to do without all of your help.”
