Private Blues Guitar tutoring lessons East Glastonbury, CT.

Pro Level. All styles from classical to jazz/blues to many ethnic/world music styles

Hello there,

Welcome to my Guitar, Bass Lesson, and Clarinet page. I can provide you with professional, quality, and affordable lessons. I'm very passionate about music, the guitar and bass, and love teaching! I am a Masters Degreed Educator who has been teaching for over 20+ years. I can provide you with lessons on proper technique, music theory, chords, scales, songwriting, and more. I currently teach with Guitar Center/Music Arts in the local area but I am looking for more students to fill out my schedule.

My focus is on providing the best quality lessons for the student and believes in the motto that the customer always comes first. Let me provide you with my professional service and make sure that you are 100% happy. Thank You.

Get your guitar playing to the next level. Guitar lessons with Mike S., a formally trained vocalist with global guitar experience. Your next set of lessons will provide as much personal encouragement along with the musical progress.

Now open to all ages and levels of expertise.

I have been playing guitar for over 30 years—since 1987—and I'm ready to pass my knowledge and experience along to you. I teach all ages, all levels, and all styles (but my specialties are rock and blues). I am a member of Mu Phi Epsilon, the international professional music fraternity, having been initiated in 1998 at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas, while I was attending their music education program.

I'm based in Marietta/East Cobb (just outside of Atlanta), but I'm proud to offer lessons to almost anywhere* that the internet and your computer can reach.

You get to experience something because you will be coached to:
1. Experience a great feeling of accomplishment
2. Feel like you learned something
3. Feel like you can do anything you want
4. Feel like you can say what's on your mind
5. Feel free to express yourself in any way you want
6. Meet your needs and goals, and maybe go beyond that, too
7. Believe you can feel and do anything
8. Create plan as we move forward

You will receive all of my attention and coaching you need to become the best version of yourself through music and playing the guitar.

We will be a team and focus on your development throughout these coaching meetings, because it's what you'll need.

I am a classical guitarist originally but I also play acoustic, electric, fingerstyle, blues, bluegrass, country, and rock, and I am a master of music theory. I have been teaching for over 20 years and playing and performing for 25 years. My specialty is fingerstyle and I can teach from beginner to the highest advanced levels. I teach at a major University and have been an assistant professor of guitar at several colleges. I currently play and perform in a band that plays all kinds of music from Folk to Funk, from Country to Blues, from Bluegrass to Ballads. I am a music theory specialist. I can teach it in general but I specialize in teaching theory for guitarists. Teaching music is one of my main passions in life!
