Mike is the ultimate guitar teacher! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him. He skillfully tailors each lesson to my unique needs, and his infectious enthusiasm motivates me to continue improving. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!

They are an extremely small organization, they only have a few teachers, who are part time, and they only cater to children. This isn't a place for adult students, as the teachers are barely adult age themselves and are only interested in teaching kids. Look elsewhere.

I have been a guitar student with Mike since early 2018. He is great guitar teacher and also a super band mate. I highly recommend him and his other music teachers to you. From my experience he will help you become the musician you want to be.

Mike Murphy has a unique approach to teaching and therefore learning to play music for young students or older students with a bucket list dream. Mike's approach is to lay a foundation as quickly as possible and then assemble students into bands. This creates a purpose for the aspiring musician and allows the student to climb the learning curve quickly while having more fun along the way. Whether you are just beginning as a young student or picking up where you left off now that you have more time, this Academy has an approach worth checking out. Mike is an excellent relatable teacher for students in all walks of life. Or better yet...all jams of life!

My son has been taking guitar lessons from Mike Murphy for a while now. Mike’s easy-going demeanor and patience has helped grow my son’s love of music and his self-confidence. I recommend Mike without reservation.

Mike Murphy is an absolute joy to jam with! His talent is incredible, and his patience with his students is amazing! The Adult Band Camp is a fabulous experience, and I highly recommend Ellisville Music Academy to anyone interested in a wonderful musical adventure!

Good news for music lovers. Mike Murphy has opened his new Ellisville Music Academy. Mike is my guitar teacher and is one of St Louis’ most talented instructors. His approach is easy to learn and has you playing songs on day one. I also am a participant in band camp. What a blast that experience is. If you have ever wanted to play in a band I highly recommend this experience. Learning to play and sing in a group is unbelievably rewarding. All of this in his new facility. Roomy lesson studios and band rehearsal space. All top of the line recording equipment, band equipment, keyboards and drum kit. I highly recommend EMA if you or a family member has an interest in music. Mike’s talent as a teacher and a player are unparalleled. FIVE STARS are not enough!Jeff Worley

Mike Murphy is the best! He is a talented musician and great teacher. He has been teaching my daughter the bass guitar for over a year and she really enjoys him and relates well to him. Mike makes lessons fun and forms bands with his teenage students, you can tell he really cares about his students.
