🎼TEACHING

_All new students are invited to a Free ‘Meet & Greet’ session.

_Teaching is private and one-to-one.

_In person, from my studio apt. in MidTown Phoenix, 85013.

_Or through, Online lessons through FaceTime or Zoom.

_Most importantly... You enjoy the music you are playing, writing or singing!

🎸GUITAR

_Beginner ~ Intermediate ~ Advanced

_To begin, you will learn basic chords, strumming patterns, TAB/tablature, and basic scales in the ‘open/1st position’ of the guitar, and correct right & left hand positions. These basics are fundamental to every style of guitar playing.

_As you progress, we move on to finger-style playing, advanced Barre-Chords, Jazz Chords, Improvisation, Pentatonic & Modal Scales, Arpeggios, further

exploration of the entire fretboard, and discovering the myriad of colours the guitar is capable of achieving.

_You will learn to Read Music on the guitar, explore and grow in your understanding of the many ‘Music Theories’ in our world.

_If you are just beginning in guitar*, I like students to have in mind a few songs by their favourite artists/composers they are interested in learning. This way we can direct your skills needed to achieve your personal tastes in music.

🎙Vocals

_Everyone can sing.

_Your voice is unique to you.

_Above all, singing should feel relaxed and natural.

_Exploring your own voice is an experience unique to each person. It is exciting for you to discover the unique colours and qualities of your own voice.

_I have coached many of my students to develop their voice properly, thereby becoming more confident with their own voice & style of singing. Each voice is unique, so I feel it is most important to discover ‘your own unique qualities’ and develop them into your own personal singing style.

_This is achieved by defining your vocal range, intonation, diction, breath support, phrasing and expressiveness that is ‘unique to your voice’.

_As a Vocal Coach, I can assist you with your original/cover songs to be performance or recording ready.

_As a Singer-Songwriter, I can assist you in the completion of your original songs or your unique covers with Structure, Melody, Lyrics & Vocals.

Influences Vocals/Songwriting

Rock: David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Peter Murphy, Icehouse

Jazz: Vicky Mountain, Rosemary Clooney, Eva Cassidy

Singer-Songwriter: Joni Mitchell, Dan Fogelberg

BRIEF BIO

Helping you to: FIND YOUR OWN VOICE.

My primary joy in teaching is seeing my students evolve from what they thought was very difficult, to them finding pleasure in their accomplishments both technically and musically. Whether it is just to sing better, play a song on the guitar or prep you for a performance or even prepare you for entrance into Music School at a University.

_I taught Guitar, Vocals, Songwriting, Composition and full-Rock Bands as an instructor at Guitar Center Studios, Phoenix from 2014 to 2019.

About the lesson

First to discover what the students personal goals are musically and then to begin a plan of study that directs them to achieve their individual tastes. Music is vast in its diversity and methods vary according to the students desires and comfort level.

One of my best students has just tested into the Music School at ASU Arizona State University with a scholarship and is actively pursuing a career in Music Therapy at ASU.

Michael is a very genuine instructor, and very experienced as well. He is always supportive, and very patient. He keeps his lesson areas very clean and sanitary, and encourages spiritual - rather than political discussion, which I really like. He allows you to move at your own pace, and gives you his 100% even on days where you're only giving 50. He has been a fantastic mentor and friend on my journey to make something of myself in the music industry.

Michael was an amazing guitar coach, not only with the guitar but also with music theory. He had the perfect balance between coaching fingers to play beautiful music and teaching your mind how music actually works. My experience with Michael was a great one and I highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys learning the fundamentals of music and listening to the beautiful sounds of the guitar whether you are a beginner or are ready to perform.

Michael was my first guitar teacher, and was great. He taught me a lot about the fretboard and how to navigate through chords and individual notes. Also introduced me to reading music both from staff and tab. He was always ready to answer my questions and always had the answers.
