Instruments:
I, Michael G. Turner, breathe through music. My love for music began at a very early age and I was blessed to realize, very soon, that it was my passion.I began performing at the age of 13 on clarinet, in voice, and on drums and percussion. Most of my early performance experience was obtained in church, school, and in my older brothers' Top 40 band. I hold an Associates in Music degree from Los Angeles City College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from California State University Northridge, a California State Teaching Credential, and I am currently the music teacher and director of bands at Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth California. My personal studio is equipped to teach voice, piano, wind instruments, drums and percussion.
Instruments:
I try as far as possible to rely on my own knowledge to tailor an approach to the individual, however for young children or beginners in general there is nothing wrong with one of the graded courses such as Alfred's. For a gifted student it is advisable I believe to move on to easier works in the classical repertoire. An early appreciation and grasp of Bach (say, in the Inventions) is also requisite for developing independence ot the fingers and of the mind in working out different voices at once.
Instruments:
I have been studying music since I was 5 years old on violin and went on to study piano, guitar, bass and several other instruments. Having studied with several world class performers who also love to teach has enhanced my own teaching abilities tremendously. I have performed over 400 gigs a year and can bring this experience to my students. I sing and play songs in over 10 languages including Spanish, Italian, German, Hebrew, Greek, French and have studied and played music from the 1920's up to todays current hits.
Instruments:
I am an accomplished, focused, and professional music teacher with over 7 years of teaching experience. In 2013, I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Composition, cum laude. I am currently working on my Master of Music degree at The Bob Cole Conservatory at California State University, Long Beach. My goal is to have students enjoy their lessons and love music. I also belong to a number of professional organizations including: The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), The Music Teachers’ National Association (MTNA), and The Music Teachers’ Association of California (MTAC).
Instruments:
My main goal is to inspire my students and teach them to love and appreciate music. By connecting with the students on a personal level, and understanding what excites them and keeps their interest, students are able to achieve quick progress with much less effort. I set realistic goals for my students and always consider students' own pace of learning. I teach them how to effectively practice and make sure that they understand their assignments. I acknowledge student's accomplishment and always reward them for their efforts.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
