lessons with michael

Michael has been instructing youths and adults since 2008 at multiple locations in the Milwaukee area.  He currently has only a few open spots left for new students. 

Lessons revolve around the idea of taking the student in the direction they would like to travel. 

Michael has taught at the previous locations:
  • White House of Music
  • Theatre on Main - Oconomowoc
  • Uncle Bob's Music Center
  • UW-Waukesha
  • Wauwatosa East High School Percussion Instructor
  • Hartford Union High School Percussion instructor

As a drum & percussion instructor, lessons have special focus on rudiments, basic drum set, reading rhythms, proper technique and then how all that applies to the music the student would like to learn.

Guitar lessons focus on basic theory as it applies to playing the songs a student likes.  From open chords to barre chords, lessons are geared towards practical usage.

Michael also offers lessons on ukulele.  Ukulele is a unique instrument that can be applied to any style of music the student likes.  Strumming is a vital part of the instrument and Michael teaches the student the techniques involved in performing on this instrument.

Michael currently is offering lessons at Sound Check Studios in West Allis.

"Very cool studio! Comfortable while you wait, excellent rooms for lessons. My son has been taking drum lessons and has really improved his reading and skills. Mike is helping him with his personal goals. That's the unique thing about Sound Check, the instructors focus on personal music goals."
