Introduction

ONLINE CLASSES AVAILABLE NOW!!!!! I have studied with some great teachers over the course of my life and have so much of their knowledge to offer my students. Having studied and performed since age 7, I am able to pass on to the student all the wisdom of my past teachers. I teach all styles of music on PIANO, BASS AND GUITAR through teaching music theory. Music theory explains how all music works and is what a beginner really needs to know ON PIANO, BASS AND GUITAR. I love to see the joy my students experience after learning a concept or a song that will enable them to express themselves musically on their instrument (PIANO, BASS AND GUITAR). I teach PIANO, BASS AND GUITAR 7 days a week, from morning till evening IN MY MUSIC STUDIO or in your own home (restrictions applied). I am always available to fit your busy schedule so that we can find a time and day for your weekly hour lessons. I provide all the learning materials in class. Call me on my landline if you have any questions or email me.

Attentive, light-hearted, obviously passionate about the music, and moves at the pace of the student. I never felt stressed or like I was given more in a lesson than I could retain. Explains concepts in an imaginative and memorable way.

I have been taking piano lessons with Michael since October 2016. Micheal's approach to teaching is comprehensive and fun and is rooted in understanding the essence of the piano itself and music theory. He is very passionate about music and really enjoys teaching. He teaches with methods that are outside of traditional piano books and uses materials that build upon each weeks lessons. I have been very impressed with how much I have learned in a little over two years. Michael is a very patient instructor and learning from him has been an extremely fun and exciting experience. He truly cares that his students are learning and comprehending the material and is very in tune with how each person learns. In a little over two years I have made great progress with Michael’s teaching methods and have had great exposure to music theory, sight reading, and other music fundamentals. I am able to pick up sheet music for many songs, and while it may take me time, I am able to figure out how to play the songs. It has been so rewarding. At this time we have been tackling Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. If you want to learn to play music, desire to understand music, and want to be able to play your favorite songs, and learn to create music I would highly suggest working with Michael.

I've only had 3 lessons so far, but am truly enjoying the experience of learning and understanding music more deeply, almost from the aspect of mathematics and symmetry. Michael is very patient and incorporates current neurological evidence-based practices for motor learning. These lessons so far have been a true pleasure.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I get paid in cash and charge $60 for an hour lesson given each week ONLINE USING ZOOM.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
They call me and then we find out a good day and time for them to JOIN ME ON ZOOM for an hour. I let them know that they will need a 3-ring notebook binder with divider tabs to separate subject matter. They may need advice on purchasing an instrument so I am able to help them with most of these beginner's questions on how to start. Additional purchases may be a metronome or a tuner for tuning guitars and bass. Keyboards should have weighted keys to build strength in the fingers and hands. I like to help them feel comfortable about all these beginning steps.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a music degree but more importantly, I have studied with some of the greatest teachers in the Seattle area. I continue to study because music is a subject that can never be limited and is ever expanding. I also have much to share regarding recording engineering, touring, and performance.
