From their students:

“You were such a great influence on his life, and it went beyond the guitar. Your smile is infectious your patience was never ending, and you were always encouraging and made guitar fun and made it stress free. So much of school these days involves unnecessary stress, (like little league baseball, where winning was everything) and you made coming to guitar pleasant because you “got it.” - MARLO (Matt’sMom)

“Our boys, Neseem & Cameron, have been taking guitar lessons with Mr. Mike since they were 6 yrs old, and now 7 years later they are even more enthusiastic about playing guitar than ever. It is amazing to see their progress and improvement over the years.” - SUMMER H.
