Introduction
I have been teaching for 24 years. I have played with Ruby Dee & The Snakehandlers, The Boss Jaguars, Hog Branch Groove Band, and The Pearl Snaps and can be found on various sessions as a percussionist, including Styx and Todd Sucherman. I own and operate Cascade Studios Austin, which is a rehearsal/teaching/recording studio for the last ten years. In additions to playing, I absolutely love teaching. I am of the opinion that everybody learns differently. What may work for one student, may not for another. My lessons are one-on-one and are tailored to each student. My goal is to help my students learn, and have fun while doing it, so that they build the skills needed to enjoy music for a lifetime. I love seeing the light click on when a student, no matter what age or skill level, realizes they can do it.

I highly recommend Michael for drum lessons! He is a very stimulating and engaging teacher. So far, I feel like I have gotten much more out of my lessons than originally planned. :)

My 11 year old son has been taking drum lessons with Michael for the last month. Michael is a fantastic instructor. He’s patient, kind and makes it easy for my son to catch on. Michael is extremely affordable, is always on time and professional. My son looks forward to his lessons and I can’t wait to see where these lessons lead him:) I highly recommend using him!

Michael is goofy and fun to learn from! Any correspondence I've had over phone and over email has been prompt and professional. I'm excited to continue learning lessons from him! He's very well versed in many different styles of drums and is extremely talented on them as a well! I am so glad I got in touch with him.
