Mike is awesome. Don't hesitate to call him! Super nice guy, knows his stuff and is very easy to communicate with. My 16 year old son switched from the standard 30 min lesson to an hour bc he loves going.can't say enough good things.

Mike Fix is an amazing, kind, versatile instructor and musician! My son loves the variety of music he's taught on a variety of instruments! He makes learning fun and has been my son's favorite teacher for over 3 years! Mike taps into my son's talents and has helped him grasp music concepts in his own awesome teaching style!

I can't say enough great things about Mike and his amazing talents and patience for teaching everyone from young kids to adults. His techniques are fun and easy to follow and he is consistent. He's flexible when our schedules change and extremely reasonable with pricing. We absolutely lucked out when our neighbor told us about him and we are forever grateful our kids began lessons with this master musician.

Not only are the kids jamming out and enjoying music, but they love their lessons and look forward to seeing Mike every week. His cleaning and attention to detail is one of the few things we maintained throughout this period of COVID and shutdowns. We thoroughly enjoy music with Mike and we think you will too! Give him a call and you'll be singing (or playing) his praises in no time!

My son's 3rd instructor and by far the best! Absolutely great drummer and awesome with kids. My son's been drumming for a few years and was fairly proficient when he started with Mike. He's grown so much in the few months he's been here. I've been so impressed we started our 6 year old on piano with Mike too!
