“Mike has such a special way of teaching music – I have never known anyone who makes learning more fun than him! He has an amazing ability to call out the creative potential in students no matter their age and to turn that creativity into progress and skill. Whenever I hear laughter and a crazy keyboard sound down the hall, https://x1x.tube I know it’s one of Mike’s lessons!

This month, Mike is also celebrating TEN YEARS of mentoring here at ROOTS Academy. Mike embodies so much of what it means to be a Music Mentor, and we are so thankful that he is just as passionate about sharing his love of music with the next generation.”

– Emily Lindsey, Music Director
