“Michael is an exceptional teacher! My 12 year old son James has taken classical guitar lessons for the past three years from Michael and has made tremendous progress. Michael's teaching is a wonderful combination of patience, inspiration, motivation and highly developed teaching and guitar playing skills. He manages to break down very complex music into manageable parts for young learners and develop their enjoyment of and interest in different kinds of music. James is always motivated to practice and feels encouraged by Michael's thoughtful and supportive teaching, which focuses both on musicality and technical skills. I would also add that Michael works very hard to organize opportunities for students to perform (including as part of the Guitar Society) and encourages students to attend performances in the city by famous or accomplished guitarists. Michael's own gorgeous playing is such a delight and inspiration to his students. I would highly recommend Michael as a teacher. He has imparted the gift of music to my son.”
