About Michael T.
Michael graduated from the prestigious Music Education Program and Psychology Program at Ithaca College in 2012. Ithaca gave him the incredible opportunity to hone in on his musicianship and compositional skills. He was also able to discover a new medium of composition, film composition. Michael immediately fell in love with the art of writing music for film and was able to make his first musical debut on a film directed by Mike Blaney. In his time at Ithaca College, he composed scores for multiple films and continues to maintain an active composition career. Michael is currently finishing as a music teacher Brooklyn Scholars Charter School (BSCS) and Music Content Leader for National Heritage Academies (NHA) New York Branch. Michael is currently in school studying the psychological benefits of music education for children and adolescents, while teaching private lessons.

My son loved his first class and I already heard an improvement in his technique and sound :). We are grateful Michael is here teaching and look forward to the weeks to come!

3rd lesson and so far so good. Michael is patient and determined, my son is a little reluctant but wants to learn. Michael is a good match for his personality, meets my son where he is and then takes it from there.

My son just had his first lesson. Michael was wonderful. Very clear instructions. Very patient and encouraging. He's excited to continue with him.

Michael started with our son doing in-home lessons and was absolutely stellar! He was patient, enthusiastic and talented. During COVID, we have switched to on-line lessons and he is just as great. He is the best teacher we have had and Jacob looks forward to his weekly lessons. Thank You, Michael.

Michael is very patient and awesome. My first lesson was awesome.

Michael is great instructor! He is patient, positive and supported of my son. I have already seen improvements. I highly recommend Mr. Tate!!

Wonderful
On time, easy to form a connection. With my child and well prepared!

Micheal is so kind! He really has wonderful energy and my daughter gets excited with all his praise and instruction. We are very lucky to find him here.


I love his patience in teaching my son. I'm looking forward for the best as my son continues to learn from him.

Really enjoyed!

Truly one of the most engaged and encouraging teachers that we've ever encountered! Michael was endlessly creative and patient with getting the most out of our "grudging" young student.

Michael was so friendly and so great with my son! Patient and nurturing and was a true pleasure. We were very happy!

Best instructor ever! Michael tailors each lesson for my 10-year-old son--who honestly is a reluctant student. In three lessons Michael has improved his playing and also given him practical fun tips on how to practice between lessons.

My son loves playing trombone with Michael! He
makes learning fun and is always positive and encouraging.


Really appreciate his work with my son!



Started on time and the first session went very well.

Michael was very professional and kind. My son loved his lesson!
