Laudon S. says, "I began taking guitar lessons with Michael Singer in 1999 when I was 13 years old and continued taking lessons for about 3 years. Today, I am a professional musician in the Baltimore/Washington area, performing concerts and completing my doctorate in music. There is little doubt that if I had to name the most influential person in my career as a musician, it would be Michael. His passion, commitment, and skills as a teacher laid the foundation for everything else that I have done. He was encouraging but demanding, selfless in his pursuit to help me attain my goals. When I decided that I wanted to do music professionally, he took that seriously and taught me to understand the amount of work that it would require and guided me in that work, both technically and musically. Essentially, he initiated me into the rigorous but wonderful world of professional musicians. To this day, Michael and I stay in touch. He has never lost interest in what I was doing or where I was and has supported me in every decision I have made. I wouldn’t trade my time with Michael for the world and I couldn’t recommend a better guitar teacher. " Read more

If someone is interested in learning music, I'm interested in them. I don't ask for enough money to be honest, it is a passion thing I guess. I don't have formal training so it is easy for me to connect with beginner level musicians. Everything I know is self taught through years of hard work and dedication to what I love the most...music. Let's get together and jam? Part of my teaching style is to not be a teacher, but a supportive friend showing someone how to do something, not what to do. Hardest part of music, is just getting started! That support system is crucial to my system....

Reviews for Surprise bass guitar instructors

Recent success stories from people in the Surprise area.
Kyle M.
I've been taking lessons with Mike for close to two years. I had been playing guitar for a long time when we met, so I was already pretty familiar with the guitar but over the last two years my skills and knowledge have improved considerably. Mike is a really good guy and a great guitarist/musician with a whole lot of experience and no shortage of things to teach. For the past several months I've been writing and recording songs and Mike has been helping me with that process. His input and contributions have been invaluable and we've been able to take several basic ideas and turn them into nearly complete songs (they're still in progress). Mike will teach you how to be a better musician/guitarist regardless of your goals or experience level. Hiring Mike was one of the better decisions I've ever made. If you want to learn to play guitar, Mike's your guy.

I have received outstanding instruction and support from Michael Singer. I have been a self taught player who has been trying to break through walls. Michaels instruction is patient, and I have seen fast results, corrected poor habits and seen my technique improve dramatically with only a months worth of lessons, and I am looking forward to where he will take me in the future.
