About Michael S.
5.0
(4)
I absolutely love teaching music. The main approach is to guide students in their discovery of playing music auditorily. I utilize an auto-developed curriculum to help students gain the skills to bring their inner music out. The learning process is unique from the typical music lesson where the student reads from a page and is critiqued to improve. I find other methods much more satisfying and productive. I've played music for 18 years and my Bachelor's Degree is in Music Education. I have perfect pitch, and I'm a whiz at music theory. I scored a 5 on the Music Theory AP Test and tested out of 2 years of Music Theory and Ear Training in college. My main instrument is trumpet. I can teach any band instrument up through High School level. Let's schedule an intro visit and see what a good fit we are.

Michael

I am a comeback trumpet player of 25+ years. Michael has been fantastic in helping me rediscover so much of what I'd forgotten when I originally played. In 8 months, he's brought me back to where I was and beyond. With his help, I've been able to get my double octave range back faster than I thought possible. My overall technique, embouchure and sound has exponentially improved. Michael's enthusiastic, accessible, talented and incredibly knowledgeable. He loves music and has helped me engage with it in ways I never did. Our time together is always invigorating and I truly look forward to the lessons. I highly recommend him as a teacher and mentor.

He helped me get through my first semester of Spanish in a very short amount of time without sacrificing my grades. He teaches very efficiently and is a good tutor.

I decided to take a AP music class with no history whatsoever with musical experience. I got Michael to help with my midterm , and it went great! He reviews and explains concepts in a simple terms. Highly recommend.
