Instruments:
I attended Berklee College of Music in Boston prior to moving to Los Angeles. There, I would work with some industry greats like Richard Druz, Lenny Greene and Frank Zappa. I absorbed their skills, talents and techniques. After singing with many bands in the area, I found gospel music and joined a church with Pastor Rowena Frisco in Inglewood. Frisco taught me what gospel music was all about and I have carried it with me ever since. I returned to the East Coast to complete my formal education at New York University where I received my BA in music performance. I formed a self titled band and toured the mid-Atlantic region performing a mixture of blues, rock, rnb, soul, gospel and jazz. Hoping to reach a larger audience, I wrote, arranged, and produced my solo debut, What I Got To Say. I am as dedicated to teaching as I am to performance. I create an environment of support and encouragement allowing artists to feel nurtured. I have a holistic approach to singing; it encompasses the mind, body and soul. I welcome student participation and input during a lesson. Instead of holding every student to the same measure, I chart success on attainment of your goals. I recognize that every artist is an individual so success is dependent on individual goals challenged and attained.
Instruments:
Michael's approach to voice training is grounded in physiological and developmentally appropriate techniques. While this does not necessarily preclude any particular style of music, he believes very strongly that vocal health and well-being should take precedence in one's study of singing and that it is good for students to gain a diverse musical experience.
Instruments:
I have been teaching private and group music lessons in voice, piano, and guitar since 2012. Lessons were typically held at the students home, various schools, and other rehearsal spaces. I have taught individuals from the age of 3 and up, as well as skill levels from beginner to more advanced skills.
Instruments:
For beginning students I try to start with the essentials. It is important for young children to become familiar with the instrument, the proper way to hold an instrument. The proper way to sit when playing or stand while singing. Fundamentals at the earliest ages are essential. Practicing the fundamentals leads to success which leads to a desire to learn more about the instrument.
Instruments:
Should you decide that a beginner level is more your speed, I like to start off with the fundamentals (vocalists are taught about their muscles and are given accurate tests of their range, breaks, belts and so forth, pianists are taught the note names, structures, placements, fingerings, and scales, and trumpet players are taught valve and holding positions, breath control, and basic mechanics, to name a few). From there, we would start to meld into styles that the student deems interesting and take it from there.For those who are starting at a more advanced level, I always begin with a clear outline of the goals that the student wants from my instruction. Whether they are looking to nail an audition, fine-tune their craft, or are simply looking for a creative outlet, it is important to me that my students and myself are on the same page. Music is, after all, a collaborative effort.

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.
