I am a member of MTAC, am a Certificate of Merit adjudicator, and am on the editorial board of the MTAC state magazine. An enthusiastic and encouraging teacher, I enjoy helping my students achieve their musical goals.

"Learn how to Fish" is my Motto, or in other words, I will teach you how to best teach yourself the skills and concepts of music. I have over 10 years experience teaching typical and special needs populations, and in my experience, I have come to the understanding that everyone learns skills and concepts differently, and that YOU the student, know the best and most effective ways that you learn. I am NOT the teacher that expects you to learn something one way or "MY WAY".
I AM the Teacher that will show you many ways of understanding a skill or concept, and let YOU pick the best way for YOU to learn it. I think of myself as more of a Musical guide than a strictly defined teacher. I will show you where you need to go and what tools/skills you need to get there. You however, through determining your best modalities of learning the skills and concepts I will show you, effectively pick the path and time it will take you to get there. I feel that by allowing you...

My name is Mike T. and I'm a professional musician of 16 years. I started playing piano at the age of 8 and studied classical, rock, pop, ragtime, blues, and impressionistic styles. At the age of 11 I got my first drumset and started jamming to bands like Metallica, Foo Fighters, Blink 182, NOFX, Black Sabbath and of course Led Zepplin. By the time I reached the age of 21 I was a well established, mutli-instrumentalist.
I then attended Musician's Institute in Hollywood, CA where I honed my skills as a drummer and overall musician.

I have two passions in life: Music, and helping others. Teaching music is the best of both worlds for me. My goal with music has always been to inspire others the way other great musicians have inspired me. I believe music lessons can benefit everyone in someway. Music is a combination of art and math and is a positive way for anyone to express themselves. Can you imagine a world without it? How boring and monotonous!

Recently graduating Pepperdine University with my Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance and English Literature, I am excited to enrich others with the indispensable knowledge of music. Studying and performing Classical Piano for the past 17 years, I have had the opportunity to perform with the Pepperdine Orchestra, in Piano Master Classes under the direction of established pianists Jura Margulis, Daria Rabotkina, and Jeffrey Siegel, and also in Heidelberg’s Music Program in Germany in 2011. Teaching music lessons for the past 6 years, I have found that both student and teacher benefit from this educational process, and the continued opportunity to expand musical knowledge is an extraordinarily beneficial process. Inspired by the challenging and creative aspects that music presents, I am totally excited to help foster the love for this unique art in you!
