He has done great with my teenage son who is just starting out learning to play the guitar. I knew from the first lesson we made the right choice with Joseph!!

Adam made it a comfortable and fun environment for my teen to begin learning guitar. He was very easy going and knowledgable and worked well to adapt any lessons to current struggles as well as incorporating music theory at a practical pace that didn't take away from hands on learning.

For those trying to get an understanding of what it is like to have Mike as your music mentor, please STOP & READ this review!
My name is Josh, and I am a multi-instrumentalist. When I was looking for a guitar teacher, I really wanted someone who was going to educate me on music theory. A person who could inform me on why certain chords blend well together, how I can play with more intent over chords, and what steps to take to understand the relationship between music across not only the fretboard but all instruments. Instead of playing on "feel", I wanted the ability to feel confident in my play by understanding the relationship between notes and chords.
Now that you understand a little bit of my background, I would like to express my progression and time working with Mike. First and foremost, I myself do not look at Mike as a "teacher", but in a lot of ways more of a mentor/friend. This is a guy who will match your level of passion for music and educate you on how you can progress as a guitar player. I approached Mike informing him of what I was looking for in a teacher, and Instantly became aware of how knowledgeable he is in the world of music.
Mike is able to break something down that is complex for me, into a simplistic way that makes it easy to understand and apply to my personal practice.
(You have to be self-disciplined if you want to make progress)
I am able to check in with Mike once a week and get help on what I need in that moment of time. Once he understands what you are seeking to learn, he tailors a plan to educate you in a way that makes sense to you.
All in all, when I am in a lesson with Mike I do not feel like I am in a session with a teacher, but rather with a friend that wants to see me achieve what I set out to do and assist me in any way he can. He is a very personable guy and makes you feel at ease regardless of what level of play you are starting from. At the end of the day, if you want a mentor in your life that will be able to take you through the journey of music, assist you with your personal music aspirations, and a guy who will cut the bullshit and make the music experience fun, Mike is your guy!
*I would like to add, that I have progressed at my speed with Mike because I practice as much as I can outside of work, and have a strong passion for music. You will progress at the rate of effort that you are willing to put in. Regardless, Mike will put in his effort to work with you and get you to where you want to get*
