“Michael’s combination of emotional and musical intelligence make him a wonderful teacher. A professional on multiple instruments and music theory, he also understands his students and meets each one at their level of musical ability. He has taught my daughter that tasks she may have thought of as too daunting only seem so, and that she can master them by approaching them ‘little by little’. Michael is a patient and talented teacher who cares deeply for his students and about music.” Judith, mother of 11 year old piano student
