Ann Long

“I feel like I could write a book about what your teaching has done for Jon’s development as a musician, and as a person. He’s learned to play guitar beautifully, but he’s also learned how to be a musician- how to play effectively with other musicians, how to find his “niche” in the world of music and how to challenge himself appropriately. Your ability to assess where he’s challenged and how to use his challenges to make himself a stronger musician has been instrumental in his growth!”

“For a student that finds guitar really challenging, Mike’s patience and approach have helped keep me going. He finds innovative ways to approach a problem and keeps working towards progress. His easy-going personality helps keep it fun.”

Allison Remick

“My son has been taking lessons with Mike for over ten years now. I have enjoyed watching my son’s talent grow with the fundamentals gained from Mike’s teachings and guidance. Mike is a wonderful teacher who has great patience and teaches with such ease, which makes every lesson welcoming.”

Doris and Daniel Weaver

“My eight-year-old daughter recently started guitar lessons with Mike, and she absolutely loves them! She is typically a shy child, but I have seen her really open up and show her personality more and more during each lesson. Mike is an excellent teacher - he is patient, engaging and personable; I truly appreciate this wonderful experience he is providing for my child.”

Ashley & Kendall Morris

“Mike is an awesome guy who’s really likeable with all kids – teenagers and adults get along with him greatly. He truly cares about all of his students. He knows how to pace his students in an engaging way.”

Brett Bohlmann

“I think mike is very good at his profession as a guitar teacher. I get to see two sides with me being 45 and my 16-year-old son. He is very patient with all of his students and strives for perfection in every note. His focus on teaching you the right way and not just mediocracy I feel is essential in learning to correctly play the guitar. I am very impressed with my level of play in just one year.”
