About
Hey there! My name is Michael, and for the past 12 years I have been leading modern/contemporary worship in churches accross the Midwest, as well as offering lessons to children and students. My main genre of music I teach is worship and jazz.
I am currently offering piano lessons, guitar lessons, and songwriting lessons to all ages.
My desire is to equip and train you, your child, or your student to finally be able play songs they want to play, regardless of the genre, by attuning their ear to hear and feel music beyond a page of music or a chord chart. I teach how to use the Nashville number system, read chord charts, alternative guitar tunings, and much more.
Let's connect and work together!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I begin the process by meeting with the student/family to hear what the are seeking from the music lessons.

However, I also make adjustments to that plan depending on current level of knowledge and playing proficiency.
