Mike Magee is an awesome guitar and music teacher! I have taken music and guitar lessons many times over my 62 years. Two months of lessons with Mike and I have I gone beyond anything I learned in the past. Mike has a true gift for teaching and has put a lot of thought into how he teaches. - Cathy (student)
“Mike is an excellent communicator and relates well to his students. My son would come home from each week's lesson with a cheerful disposition and talk incessantly about all that he was learning. He would sit down and show me his new skills or what he was working on. Our family highly recommends Mike!" - Tammy (parent)
Mike, Thanks so much for everything you have done and taught me over the past few years. You are a very influential person in my life and have really made guitar & music fun for me! You are an awesome teacher! I love guitar because of you. - Ben (student)
Mike, thank you so much for being my teacher! I have had a great time with you at my guitar lessons. I am very happy that I had the experience of actually learning all of the stuff in between all of the songs we learned. You're different than most teachers. You have fun ways of teaching and have taken learning to a whole new style. I just wanted to thank you for being the best and most out-going teacher I have ever had. - Andrew (student)
Mike is an AMAZING instructor!! Our daughter Kylie who's 10, is very shy but she has learned so much and thinks the world of him. He is so patient and understanding. He goes above and beyond to help you out. I am so thankful we found him!!!! - Kimberly (parent)
My son will come home and practice and I often find him practicing, without me having to tell him too! When I ask why, he say that he wants to learn more next time so he wants to make the most of his time. Mike is pretty funny and is pretty laid back, lots of room for mistakes and does a great job of celebrating the successes. I'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks Mike! - Jeremy (parent)
I haven't taken music lessons in years and had never tried the guitar, but Mike's patience and good nature make the learning process easy. I especially like the time he takes to explain the concepts behind what he's teaching. He really knows a lot about the instrument and music theory, and can show you how it applies across many styles of music. - Bob (student)
Mike is an excellent teacher! My daughter loves going to her lessons every week and he is so patient with her! - Shannon (parent)
At 40, I decided to start playing guitar and I've loved it. My husband and I take lessons together and although we are at different levels, Mike's done a spectacular job instructing. Thanks to Mike for his patience and organized style of teaching. I highly recommend him. - Holly (student)
Mike has been teaching my 12 yr old son He has learned a lot and more importantly Mike has made it enjoyable for him. Thanks! - Jeff (parent)
My 11-year old really enjoyed her lessons, and it has created confidence for her and been encouraging as she's branched out into choir, and violin. Mike is a really easy-going person and patient. Music is just so important for kids and translates into successes in other parts of their lives. - Ellen (parent)
“Mike has always moved toward improving his and his student's skill set, from music theory to mechanical technique. He understands how to teach, and doesn't just show you, but shows you in a way that you remember and will use for life. The music theory and technique I learned from Mike over 25 years ago is the basis of my curriculum I have used for my students for the last 20 years.” - Mike
