The Process

Getting started

If your goal is to become a professional or fantastic DJ or producer, you'll need advanced skills in music production and experience at a party or event.

However, if you're looking for basic classes to perform at social clubs, parties, weddings, or other events, you won't need to have any prior education or production skills necessarily.

As long as you provide entertainment and keep everyone at the event having fun, people will book your services for their big day! But, you’ll soon find that a DJ’s job is never done.

Piano
Cathedral City, CA.

Both of my sons took piano from Mikael but learned so much more! He is a phenomenal teacher. Not only did they learn to read music but they had the opportunity to collaborate and perform with others.

Mikael is an amazing musician who is reliable and professional. Both of my sons have different personalities and he adjusted his teaching to meet their needs.

Stella B.

Librarian
Guitar
La Quinta, CA.

I waited 44 years to learn to play the guitar I got when I turned 16. I scoured the Coachella Valley for someone worthy of my time, my energy, and my money. Someone with exceptional musical knowledge and skill. Someone extremely patient and approachable. And most of all, someone who respected MY musical goal, which is to play well enough to put a smile on the face of that 16 yr-old me.Based on my experience with Mikael, I’d say you can trust him with your musical dream. I did. And I’m smiling.

Brayden D.

Student
Guitar, Bass, Keys, Ukulele

I have been taking lessons from Mikael for about seven years now. I have learned guitar, bass, keys, and ukulele. I have nothing but good things to say. The way he organizes his lessons and allows time for whatever you feel like you need to do in the lesson is great, and makes learning very fun and exciting.

Thuan N.

Social Worker
Guitar
Palm Springs, CA.

Mikael makes learning acoustic guitar so much fun and challenging at the same time. The lessons are fit perfectly to my level, a total beginner, and my age, a super senior citizen 🙂 Mikael is patient, kind, supportive and flexible. Most important is the bi-annual recital/performance with all of Mikael’s students where we enjoy and share the local stage with our families, friends and community. I look forward to Mikael’s weekly classes both in person and virtual sessions, where there is no difference in quality. Thank you so much for being my music teacher. With respect and appreciation!
