        Michael's  solo acoustic guitar/vocal performances pay tribute to 50's, 60's 70's 80's & 90's Rock & Roll and feature his original material. He produced & engineered  6 CDs of original material:  Time & Eternity, Evening Sky,  Acoustic Pop, Supernatural, Moth & Rust, & Decades (material covering a span of 25 years).  He received honorable mentions in Piano Guild Magazines for his piano compositions:  After The Storm  (2020), Faith (2022),  Sunset Lullaby  (2023),  Florida Coastline (2024), &  For Liberty (2025). He is the author of Rhythm and published Music Lessons In Your House,  The Musical Card Game / Flash Cards in 2024. ​ 

          Michael has learned that passion for music can't be taught, but appreciation for music can be encouraged. Discovering music that stirs the soul will result in excitement to learn.  Although method books are important, a balance must be met so students don't  get bogged down and disinterested. Michael's philosophy is that he is a guide and the student is the teacher. All students must be self taught.
