"Michael is a brilliant educator that I would and have recommended to anyone who asks me for referrals to an amazing piano teacher. I myself am an elementary school music teacher as well as voice teacher and have been asked for referrals for piano teachers many times through the years. I always refer them to Michael. The students I have referred to have stayed his students for many years and have grown to become amazing and competent musicians themselves. One parent I ran into a few years later thanked me and told me how happy he is, how it transformed his child to have more confidence and a wonderful skill to have and enjoy for life.
