Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedAbout Mike P.
Hello! My name is Michael, I am a graduate of Towson University with a bachelors degree in music and jazz performance and I am eager to teach future musicians how to play the Saxophone/various instruments and to also teach them about music in general. I can also provide clarinet and flute lessons as well! I studied Jazz Performance at Towson and I gig here and there in the Baltimore and DC area. I am open to all musical interest and will be excited just to have the pleasure of working with students!
With my lessons I will make sure students will know the basics of their instruments like working on embouchure and fingerings and also learning how to read music and improvising! The lessons with be fun not just for me, but more importantly the student!

Mike gives great feedback and helps you understand the basics of the saxophone. Asking you what you want to learn and where you want to go with your practice.

My son looks forward to his lessons. He’s learning and getting the one on one instruction that he needs to improve.

he cares a lot for the student.

Mike has been working with my 12 year old son to improve his sax skills over the last 4 months. They have virtual lessons for 30-45 minutes once per week. I'm absolutely amazed by my son's progress and newfound excitement for playing the sax. Mike has done so much to help him improve his skills and confidence! My son says he feels like he's improved so much and learned some great techniques. He says Mike is patient and "really knows his stuff and taught me some cool jazz stuff too!" I would definitely recommend him! Thanks Mike!

patient, honest and sincere.

He is so nice and fun!

cool and understanding.

cool and simple.

Mike is a great teacher and wonderful musician. He is patient, gentle and kind. We love his music.
Highly recommended.

Very respectful and my daughter said she enjoyed the lesson. Will continue using Michael


Mike is great with my high school student. My son loves to attend his lessons and always gets a lot out of it. Mike is helping him get back to the fundamentals he really needs to perfect in order to grow his saxophone skills.

Mike was so patient and positive with my 11 year old son that had never picked up a clarinet in his life. My son had so much fun in his first lesson and was proud of what he accomplished. Thank you!

Our daughter is really enjoying her lessons with Mike!




Great first lesson!


The first lesson went great! My son really enjoyed it!

Oh my goodness. Mike was amazing with my son. Davon has a lot of anxiety. I noticed as the lesson went on Davon seemed to focus, ask questions and played the Sax better. After the session I asked Davon if he felt comfortable with Mike. Davon's response was yes. I pray Mike stays around for a long time.

I am very new to flute. He explained me each and everything. How to assemble and play correctly. Great to work with!

Mike has been a great teacher for my daughter. She has played for a year, so he spent the first couple lessons really getting to know her and where she stands in terms of ability at the moment. She is already building up her foundational skills with his help, and, perhaps even more important to the younger player, he is encouraging and fun. She has closed each lesson with a smile on her face. Thanks so much, Mike!!!

Mike took the time to learn my son's interests and now he is inspired to keep going- Thanks! Thanks!

Did a great job even though he was not able to see or hear us through your platform. Communicated to him via text. Was patient with Caroline.

Mike is so patient with my 5 year old daughters

My 11-year-old daughter had her first lesson and said “He’s a great teacher. He’s really patient!” It’s amazing how much progress she’s made just with her first lesson. We’re looking forward to more lessons with Mike!

Passionate and knowledgeable classes !

I got to know my basics in no time! Great teacher
