    About Michael H.

    4.9
    (23)
    I have been performing and teaching music professionally for 10 years in a variety of settings. I received my bachelor's degree in music education and jazz studies from Western Michigan University and my master's in jazz studies from Temple University in Philadelphia. My passion is jazz saxophone, and I have also played flute and clarinet in classical ensembles and theatre productions like West Side Story, Footloose and Shrek the Musical. I compose and arrange music for my own bands, and I have played pop/rock concerts as well. I am confident that I am prepared to guide you toward any style of music you could want to learn. I can't wait to work with you!

    Michael had a well thought out lesson plan for the first day and my daughter learned something right away and she felt really encouraged to keep moving forward with flute.

    Our 6th grade son has been taking virtual saxophone lessons with Michael and he is absolutely fantastic! We love Michael's dedication, kindness, and gifted talents as both a musician and educator.
