Mike's experience as a composer and vocal coach as well as pianist enables him to tailor lessons to the student's interests. I hired him to do a workshop with a group of flute students and they loved it so much a few who were only registered for one day came back for a second day! The end result was also so fun - these kids weren't singers to begin with, but they totally bought into the mini-musical they created. He has a great rapport with students of all ages - they love him and more importantly they trust him. Whenever anyone asks me if I know a piano/voice teacher I recommend Mike without reservation!

I’ve taken lessons from Mike in voice and composition, participated in his choir, and performed in 12 of his original musicals. He is not only an astounding musician and inspiring director, but a kind and understanding person. He cares for his students as individuals and will work with you on whatever you’re looking for. I couldn’t ask for a better teacher!

So professional and wonderful to work with! Mike makes you feel at ease and confident in your skill level. His suggestions and teaching method are easy to understand but really show how much he knows and the care he puts into each lesson. Highly suggest lessons!
