Awesome instructor and musician.
I highly recommend Mike!

I’ve taking 5 lessons. Great instructor!!!!! Having a lot of fun and already playing some tunes!!!!!

For my first lesson, I wasn’t intimidated and it was actually one of the best first time experiences I’ve ever had… I am motivated to start practicing and I cannot wait until the next lesson

Excellent, easy to work with and very knowledgeable

Michael is an incredible teacher. My fiance has never played a musical instrument before in his life and I got him a few lessons for his birthday. At first, I wasn't sure how virtual music lessons would go, but Michael is by all accounts, an incredibly engaging, funny, and knowledgeable instructor. My fiance looks forward to his weekly lessons with Michael. In particular, he enjoys learning about the history of this incredible instrument alongside the actual music theory and practical aspects of learning a new instrument. 

It has been truly incredible to witness my fiance transform in a few short weeks from someone scared of learning a new instrument to someone who is confident that he can learn a new skill provided he puts in the time and effort to practice and show up! Michael has given him the confidence and the inspiration to make amazing progress as a student. 

I highly recommend Michael as an instructor. He really makes the virtual format work and he knows how to introduce beginner musicians to the joys of learning how to express yourself on an instrument.

He was a great teacher.  He was very patient with me.  I learned a lot in the lessons I took

What a fun way to spend our quarantine time! Michael was a great bagpipe instructor for my teenage son. He helped him to find the right equipment and made playing the bagpipes fun from the very first lesson. Thanks, Michael!

We're super impressed with Michael's teaching style. This is my son's second attempt at learning to play bagpipes. Michael makes it fun, in that he starts teaching songs right away, not only notes. He is very patient and explains what he is teaching.

He is very Knowledgeable in what he's teaching.  He teaches in a way that is easy to understaffed

Great intro to the equipment and how to play, with recommendations for finding the best kit. Easy to meet online.

Great instruction! The time was packed with information. Thanks Michael.

Awesome lesson can’t wait for the next one .

Michael is excellent bagpipe teacher!!! I am looking forward to my next lesson.

Ode to Joy is one of the first tunes you will learn on the bagpipes.  I play that on into a rippin' little jig.
