His lessons are a good way to learn guitar, he teaches at a slow pace at the start to give you the feel for it while also learning new stuff along the way.

Mike has been a great teacher. He has a lot patiences and teaches you at your speed. My kid has been going there for about 7 months and has learned a ton. I would recommend him to everyone.

Mike is an excellent guitar teacher with a spotlessly clean studio. He takes the time out to be super patient, professional, and nice with my 7 year old son. We would recommend him to the beginner and up individuals wanting to learn how to play the guitar! You will not be disappointed.

If I had to review this class briefly simply saying, Mike is Wonderful would sum it up! I have tried learning the guitar on earlier accounts but gave up on it. However, in a few weeks of learning with Mike I can not only swiftly change chords, but also play songs decently well. He has the patience of a monk and has been flexible in adapting his teaching methods to my learning style. I will certainly recommend Mike to anyone who harbors the desire to learn the guitar.

I have been learning from Mike for years. He is very patient and understanding of what you require as a student. He adjusts to your pace as a student and teaches a variety of techniques. A great guitarist as well as a fantastic teacher!

Picture yourself being the guitar player you'd like to be. Imagine mastering some of your favorite songs, improvising solos and having a very good knowledge of the fretboard, scales and music. I've helped hundreds of students achieve success on guitar. I have a fun and easy step by step method. I've helped a lot of advanced students master the fretboard and have taught them how to improvise and improve their lead playing abilities.

As my newest friend and current band mate for the past two years Mike is a great guy and a riot to perform with he is a very talented guitarist and vocalist and as a teacher you would get that personal dedication and way more than what you ever would at your local music store very knowledgeable professional and seasoned.

Mike is a great teacher. His lessons are thorough and well planned. I have learned more as an adult from Mike than I ever did as a kid from two former teachers. He is also very patient and attentive to technique and style. I highly recommend lessons from Mike whether you are a beginner or a seasoned player that may just need a tune up. You'll definitely learn something.

I've been taking guitar lessons with Mike for almost a year now. He's very patient and knowledgeable on playing the guitar as well as teaching. He can play/teach a variety of genres. He always asks me what songs I want to learn. I've had other teachers who have specific songs they want you to play which caused me to lose interest. I would highly recommend lessons with Mike regardless of expertise level!

My son has been taking piano lessons with Charles for a few months now, and it has been a great experience. Charles is so patient and answers all of his questions (and there's a lot). My son looks forward to his classes every week! They're so flexible with allowing Zoom classes as well as makeup classes. Very glad we found this place.

We just moved here from Colorado and I am very glad that I chose this academy for my children to continue with their guitar and piano lessons because this place has great instructors and awesome and friendly staff. They responded to my emails promptly and I am looking forward for more great lessons. Thank you!

We absolutely love Mr. Mike! My two daughters can't wait for their weekly lesson with him. He is so patient and a very understanding teacher. Their confidence has grown and also their focus. The office is also understanding of vacations and missed lessons. Now my younger two daughters can't wait to start!

Mike is a fantastic guitar instructor. Being an adult and having wanted to take lessons for a long time, I was anxious about learning the instrument and meeting an instructor. Mike was and is consistently pleasant, patient, and thorough. I would highly recommend him to anyone of any age group. I feel lucky to be taking lessons from him and look forward to what I will learn each week.

Great service to the community of South Indianapolis. They offer lessons on guitar, piano, drums and many more instruments. Mike the owner is very knowledgeable about music and guitar. He's helped me reach a new level with my playing.

Mike Middleton is by far the best musician and teacher I know. I know from personal experience that he is very thorough with lesson plans and scheduling. I recommend him highly for any age student who is ready to learn guitar.
