Piano with Miguel T.

Miguel "Mike" has been teaching private lessons since 2006 and is currently available to teach lessons at his home studio in San Antonio, in your home, or online! Mike is very proud of the work he has been able to help his students accomplish and looks forward to expanding his studio here in the Alamo City. Whether it is learning the basics of playing an instrument, learning to read music, expanding your performance repertoire, getting to the next level of music theory, or advancing your skill level, helping students in expanding their musical capabilities is the ultimate reward for Mike. Originally from California, Mike began his musical journey at age 2. Beginning on drums, Mike later began to also study and become proficient on congas, timbales, guitar and piano before taking up trumpet and trombone for his scholastic musical career. After studying Jazz and Music Management at the California State University at Sacramento, Mike made the move to Texas in 2008 to pursue a career in the Tejano music industry. Immediately immersing himself in the local music scene, Mike performed in many local bands before forming his own group. Mike & The Grooveland Chicano Band released an EP and a full length album which earned the group a nomination for “Best New Artist” at the 2012 Tejano Music Awards. Mike also had the honor of being part of the 2013 PBS special “Vamos Al Baile” as bass player for the world renowned accordionist, pianist, and record producer Joel Guzman and his band Conjuntazzo. In January of 2014, Mike was tapped to go on tour with five time Grammy award winning Texas legend, Little Joe. Playing bass and providing backup vocals until the end of their 2017 tour, Mike was able to tour nationally and internationally with the Little Joe y La Familia, as well as record two full length albums on which he earned arranging credits in 2015 and 2017. A proud endorsing artist of GK Bass Amps, Mike is also an in demand studio musician and has recently began producing projects for other artists. In December of 2016, Mike independently released an acoustic Christmas album, and in May of 2018 released the debut EP of his band LA•45.
