    About Michael C.

    (15)
    My Wife & I Both have Masters Degrees from Central Michigan Univ. I am an Air Force Veteran. My Wife helps me teach in the program and is an adviser for the Female program. Two deep leadership at all times and parents have waiting areas visible to classes. I love guitar and playing music, I think I have taught so long I would not know what to do without a music/teaching career. I have made a living playing guitar for 25 years. *** Lesson Details *** I have been a music teacher so long I have become very simplistic. I teach the following: (1) To practically play while having fun (4 locations to choose). (2) Music Theory. (3) Playing by ear. (4) Leadership Skills. I am still having a great time teaching, so we do it a lot. I love to teach and enjoy it very much, I owe a lot to my music career and want to pass it on. We are in Rotary and support many community activities. *** Studio Equipment *** I have - 4 Professional teaching studios - that are in nice locations. I really enjoy my job and have a lot of great equipment; we work hard, but have a lot of fun too. *** Travel Equipment *** (1) Respectfully what is reasonable. I am a full time musician, I am flexible and happy - we can work these things out. (We have a lot of equipment, I am very thankful). We have very good business relationships in the community. I appreciate my job. *** Specialties *** (1) Group interactive method based on theory. (2) Students show leadership in their own program. (3) Students work with me (instructor) on Lesson Plans. (4) Students pick out material they want to study. (5) Students work on (ear training) and reading music.

    Teacher's studio
    My name is Ronald S. At the age of 9, I started playing the guitar for my Father's Gospel Group who is a great Gospel D.J. (Big Clyde). Through the years I have taken several guitar courses from several instructors. In the last seven months I have taken instructions from Mr. Christian, I have excelled further and have learned more than all my other adventures. Micheal's business based environment in an open studio type classroom is a must. In Micheal's unique style of teaching you not only learn to play the guitar, but he also instructs you in song with a spirit of being well satisfied. As shoppers pass through the store they enjoy the sounds of students playing their guitars following the guidance of Mr. Christian. This also gives his students a chance to perform in front of other people giving them a finer definitions for the art of music. If you are looking for a music instructor, one who focuses in on your difficult areas and searches for improvement to make you the best musician possible in all areas, or if you are just looking to learn and have lots of fun, then Mr. Christian is your contact. Please visit him at one of his jam sessions..
