A Working Musician, Not Just a Teacher
Over the years I've played many different styles and in many different environments - that experience as a musician shapes how I teach.
What Students Are Saying
"Mike is just a wonderful, encouraging teacher. I have a ten year old son who has been learning piano for the last four years from him and he can't wait for his piano lessons. Same goes for my six year old son who recently started but always looks forward to his lesson. My son had to choose a special person for his school project and he chose him for the same. That itself says it all. I would highly recommend his services - if there was a rating measure I would give him straight 5 stars."- Anita G.
"My 16 year old son has been taking guitar lessons for the past 4 years with Mike. My son has Autism and it was very difficult to find an instructor who would work with a child with special needs. Mike took my son as a student without question and they clicked immediately! Mike is a great instructor who cares about his students and my son absolutely adores him. I highly recommend Jersey City Music Lessons!"- Tara C.

Mike - Piano & Guitar Teacher, Jersey City, NJ
I've been teaching piano and guitar in the Jersey City and NYC metro area for over 20 years. My students range from 4-year-olds just discovering music to adults who've always meant to learn but never found the right teacher. Over the years I've played many different styles and in many different environments - that experience as a musician shapes how I teach.
I believe anyone can learn to play at any age. The right approach and a little patience go a long way.
