About Michael
I started playing the piano when I was 6 years old. For about 5 years, I focused primarily on classical training but over time, transitioned over to jazz playing. I have been taught by world-class pianists ranging from professors of prestigious music schools (Manhattan School of Music, The New School, Arizona State University) and renowned jazz artists. I have also won numerous awards, both individually and through my affiliated bands, for outstanding performances. From there, I entered Arizona State University's Jazz Piano program before accepting my role as Music Director at Dream City Church. Currently, I am the Music Director for 29:11 Church in Tempe. I love sharing my knowledge and experience with others! It is so rewarding for me to help people reach musical milestones and lean into their creative passions. I am so excited to be a part of your personal musical journey - wherever you are in it!

I use a general, proven step-by-step method for my students; however, I also like to cater my lessons around individual goals you may have.
Over time, we will develop a mutual understanding of where you are wanting to take your piano playing, and I will provide the tools and guidance to get you there.
A typical lesson will consist of the following: 1) goals overview, 2) technique/chops, 3) music theory/ear training, 4) practical application to real songs, and 5) PPP (Personal Passion Project).
I aim to teach mostly beginners players from ages 8 and up.

I know Mikey from my 29:11 Church family, and am grateful to be able to learn from him and play alongside him! Mikey is not only an incredible musician, but a caring friend, husband and father. His knowledge and professionalism excels more than just behind the keyboard in many other ways, such as programming, composing, and producing! I appreciate how he teaches and shares his ideas with me and our team. Traveling to events out of state to play with Mikey has shown his level of commitment to excellence, preparation and leadership with our team and has inspired me and others to learn more about the piano and keys world.
I've known Michael for the longest time, playing music with him in school band but also geeking out with him about all things music when we hang out. There are three big reasons that taking lessons with Michael is worth your time and money. First, his understanding of music and the piano is so deep and profound. It goes way beyond just knowing music theory and the “right things to play.” He understands why music is so compelling to us as humans and is able to play music that deeply moves people. Second, not only does he understand music and theory but he is able to explain concepts clearly and simply so that anyone at any level can understand. I thought I knew a thing or two about music but to this day I learn so much from him and his explanations that I’ve taken with me on my musical journey. Finally, the one thing that is overlooked when looking for a piano teacher is who the piano teacher is as a person. Michael is a person that is characterized by passion. He is passionate about the music but he is also passionate about caring for people in his life. Not only will you be changed by what you learn musically, but you will be changed by who he is as a person. After all, that’s also what moves us about music, the stories of the people who are making the music we love. Take lessons with him, just do it!
I’ve known Michael for several years now and have had the privilege of playing with him, as well as, be a listener in the audience. In every situation his excellence, musicality and technique shines through. His musical diversity is refreshing. Michael’s ability to play many styles is a gift that gives him a unique qualification in his ability to teach. If you are beginner or intermediate he’s the teacher for you! I encourage you to start today and watch how you grow in your musical giftings too!
Michael is a great teacher because he learns how you learn and teaches you the best way for you! I took some online piano lessons from Michael and within just a couple of lessons I was able to play the melody of Amazing Grace! I highly recommend taking lessons from him!
