Highly Recommended! Michael is focused, passionate and fun to work with. His conducting experience brings a unique dimension to his approach to teaching piano. If you're looking for a teacher who knows how to help his students enhance the musicality of every aspect of their playing with the technical knowhow to accomplish it, you couldn't do better.
