I provide classical guitar lessons to students of all ages. I offer one-on-one weekly lessons to help you in your musical pursuit, whether you are a new beginner to the guitar, or an experienced player. You will find my teaching style patient and fun, yet professional and with your best interests in mind.
My goals include teaching proper technique, musicality, how to practice effectively, and ultimately, a love for the guitar. What is 'Classical Guitar'? Classical guitar simply refers to a nylon string guitar, played with the fingers (no pick) encompassing a wide variety of techniques and sounds. I love the guitar, particularly the intimate and diverse sounds created with nylon strings.

I never had a training on musical instrument even though I liked music a lot. We wondered if our 5 year old would be able to learn Guitar and Michael assured us to try that out. With his advised we started, he did a wonderful job in settling him down, hand holding him through out this process. He was able to create and sustain that interest in our child, who has accepted that as a great hobby. Mike has been great in patience and tactical in teaching our child for a consistent progression on control of strings and finger movements for almost last couple of years. It's been a great experience for
