Fully vaccinated and ready to go!
I moved to Las Vegas in August 2017, after finishing my master's of music degree at UNC School of the Arts, to teach and pursue a doctorate of music in guitar performance at UNLV. I've been teaching for many years now, at universities, music stores and private in-home lessons like I'm offering on this site.
I aim to give my students the skills to pursue whatever they would like on the guitar. I'm a professional classical guitarist, but I got my start playing rock and roll and am comfortable teaching a variety of genres if the student wants to learn a specific style. I feel I am a great teacher for total beginners as well, I make sure the student has a rounded approach and avoids developing bad habits.

Michael has been great teaching us (ages 40 and 7 years old) ukelele lessons. We've never played the ukelele before and he has been very patient and listens to our questions and teaches in a way that makes it fun and easy to learn. My 7 year old daughter practices without me having to remind her! We will definitely be purchasing more lessons and now my husband wants to start as well!

Mr M. that's what we call him. He is AWESOME. The dude is so smart, understanding and works well at all levels. His abilities as a professor of music, I do believe will go down in history. My son is so lucky to have such a great role model! Thank you Michael!!!!
