Musical Instruments And Teachers near Chandler

“Working with Michelle has been absolutely wonderful. She is so nice yet let's you know how it is in the performing arts business. I have been doing voiceover lessons with her, and she has been so helpful. I definitely recommend Michelle. She's great!“

“Our experience has been amazing. Gary is AMAZING with our 6 year old, very patient and kind.“

“I had the privilege of being one of Michael Daniel's bass guitar students for a little over 2 years. Being an older adult student, I had very specific things I wanted to learn and wasn't interested in another instructor who just wanted to teach me a song so that he could jam with me.

I was a self-taught bass player who, after a number of years of self-taught learning, plateaued out of what I could play and do on the bass and needed more structure and foundation. I learned this the hard way in a jam session with two very experienced guitar players. I tried my best to keep up, throw down a bass line, and drive a song, but they just kept playing music that greatly exceeded my abilities. I did my best, but it was very frustrating, and it pushed me do something about it if I was going to excel and maybe someday play on stage.

Michael was exactly what I needed. My interview with him went as I'd hoped. He has a nice studio to work in with a lot of equipment for anything you would be looking for on Bass or Guitar training, as well as vocal training too. Great setup.

On day one, I had a curriculum that was wonderful. Complete with foundation, hand exercises, fundamentals, songs that we'd be playing to enhance my learning, lists of equipment that he recommended for all levels of learning.
For me, establishing a solid foundation in music knowledge, technique, and consistency through my practice was essential. I wanted to play with more confidence and be able to keep up with other, more experienced musicians, and maybe play on stage playing the 80's music I love.

Fast forward two and a half years, and I'm playing in a band with 4 other older musicians, rockin' out in an 80's/early 90's band and loving every minute of it.
The songs we play are not always easy, but the foundation, learning the good technique Michael taught me, is always at the back of my mind when I break down a song and play it.
Michael has a great program, a solid foundation of learning, and hand exercises to build strength and flexibility. (Exercises I still do every day). Once he knows where you want to go with your training, the type of music you're interested in, He'll create your program to give you a full learning package.

As he will tell you, though, he can't do it all. You've got to be practicing a little every day to make the strides to move through his course. He'll know quickly when you've not done your practice from the previous week. (trust me on this) He'll hold your feet to the fire and give you the feedback you need if you're not pulling your weight. It's everything I wanted in an instructor. It pushed me and really made me work hard. Exactly what I was after!
I'm not working with Michael at the moment. Very busy with work and my band. I am hoping at some point to get back into his studio and pick up where I left off in my program and advance my playing to the next level. I already see areas of my playing that are pushing or exceeding my current limits that I need to overcome. What I love about music, there is always something new to learn!!

I highly recommend Michael for any level of training you're interested in. He's well-rounded, very knowledgeable & experienced about all aspects of music. Playing, recording, vocals, writing. You'll walk away with some great musical knowledge & tools to take you to whatever level of playing you desire. Rock on!!“

“40 years since I started piano lessons when I was 6. Linton Milano Music Center became a part of my identity and made me into the musician I am today. Visiting in town they were still there for me to practice and it still holds the same vibe. Thank you so much and happy holidays!“

“Great experience!!! A review posted here by accident and they owner kindly replied and caught the error.“

“The pandemic left us searching for ways to keep out kids engaged, so we had our son pick up the Ukulele, which he hasn't touched in 2 years. He primarily used an app to start learning chords and rhythm, but that lost its luster fairly quickly. We were referred to Lorin and have been nothing short of amazed at our child's progress. Lorin has made lessons fun and appropriately paces them. His positive style of instruction gives students confidence, while challenging them and keeping them accountable. Lorin is an extremely nice person and effective teacher. I would 100% recommend him.“

“My daughter is enjoying her piano classes. We just started last month, and really appreciate the communication and friendliness of the staff.“
