Hello. My name is Michael and I have been passionate about music since I was a very young. When I became a teenager I started taking guitar lessons and as soon as I could play a few chords, I joined a heavy metal band. I spent endless hours honing my craft to play fast and tight with other members. I have recorded original music several times. I still enjoy playing heavy music to this day but now I have expanded my interests to blues,folk, and acoustic variations. I still perform weekly in various bands. I have been playing for over twenty years and have over four years of teaching experience for beginner and intermediate level guitar students of all ages.
I look forward to teaching you!!

In jazz, I have shared the stage and recording studio with the likes of Marc Ribot and William Parker; I have quite a bit of experience as a performer that I bring to my teaching. My passion for music is addictive; I have turned the least motivated students into consummate music lovers. My goal is to find a student's personal musical voice so they have the opportunity to discover where THEIR musical passion lies. Whether...
