About
Hello! My name is Michael Rawls of Rawls Guitar Instruction. At RGI we offer personalized, in-home, guitar and piano lessons to people of all ages. I have been teaching piano and guitar for 3 years, and I am incredibly passionate about both instruments!
I took piano lessons from a very young age, and continued with lessons for 13 years. I also took guitar lessons as a child, but much of it was taught to me by my father who is an incredible player. I now perform most weekends at bars and coffee houses, mostly on guitar, but I like to bring the piano along for a few songs as well on occasion.
I have spent the last 3 years building a curriculum for both instruments that I am extremely proud of. While I follow the guidelines of classical training for both instruments, I have developed a curriculum that focuses a lot on song-based teaching that tends to motivate students because it makes learning a lot of fun!

Frequently asked questions
What types of students have you worked with?
Over the past few years I have worked with every type of student you can think of! I’ve worked with very young children, elderly adults, children with disabilities, father/son pairs, etc. Each and every student learns differently which is why all of my lesson plans are carefully thought out and personalized.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently I played a guitar gig and asked the owner of the business if one of my students could come up and play a song with me. He agreed and my student came up in front of a fairly large crowd and crushed it! Not only was I proud of how composed he was playing in front of people for the first time, but also I was exceptionally pleased with how hard he worked in our time together to get to the point that I’d ask him to come up and play a song with me.
