Michael is great! He's friendly, enthusiastic, and energetic. His musical knowledge is extensive. As an adult student I have really enjoyed learning from Michael and I have no doubt he would be great with younger students. I've been focusing on jazz freezing but he's also pointed out ways for me to improve my technical skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Does a great job at connecting with me. He’s really knowledgable in music and the way he teaches makes every step forward a lot easier process. He’s patient and knows how to adapt to each student to get the very best out of them.

Heidi Begay was my flute private lesson teacher for 7 years, from my 6th grade year to my senior year in high school. I would have one lesson a week, starting off at 30 minutes and then increasing to an hour in my junior year of high school. Throughout my years of lessons, Mrs. Begay was very helpful in my flute advancements. She helped me on my All-Region music, ensemble contests, and solo contests, as well as building up my repertoire so that when I graduated, I was a well-rounded flute player that could be successful if I were to continue on with my playing. She was very educated in musical theories and history, and if ever had a question or needed help with anything that pertained to music, she was able to help me. Without her guidance, I would never had been able to reach the musical accomplishments that I did, including high scoring solos, being a part of an All-Region band, and becoming one of the top flute players in my high school. One thing that I would say she could do better is to not assign as much homework. Because I knew I wasn’t perusing music in college, I felt that in my second semester senior year when we were studying very advanced scales and patterns, it was a waste of time to put do much energy into my lessons. If I were to pursue a music major in my college plans, then the practicing would have been more justified, but because I wasn’t, it felt a little overdone. Overall, Heidi Begay was an amazing teacher, mentor, and friend, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a teacher.
