Mike is a gifted teacher and artist whose method allows students to learn quickly and easily. He supports his students in their musical endeavors outside of lessons and is a positive role model. - Briget G.
My 13 yr old, Jackson, has been taking drum lessons at Taylorville Music Lessons since it opened in August of 2021. We have had a wonderful experience. Jackson has learned SO much in a short amount of time. I am in awe at how good he is! Mike has been great to work with and Jackson really looks up to him. He loves his lessons so much, he has been upset when he has had to miss. It’s worth every single penny! Learning to play drums has been a stress reliever for him and we are so thankful to have a local place for him to take lessons at! - Amber Henschen
I’ve been a student of Mike’s for nearly 11 years, and he’s definitely a phenomenal teacher. I can speak from experience,That he can take a person with no rhythmic talent and turn that person into a drumming dynamo. He’s also been really compassionate and encouraging even during the roughest parts of my musical journey. Plus although his prices are relatively cheap, but the quality of his lessons are top notch. If you have the passion to learn music and have and a drive to practice there’s no one I’d recommend more!

I’ve been playing for 24years now and signed my kid up, after a couple lessons, it wasn’t her cup of tea, so I took her spot and I look forward very much to my weekly lessons with Dylan. Mike, the owner is super cool and the moment you walk in, you see his passion for teaching music. Highly recommend Taylorville Music Lessons. - Douglas Cowell


Mike is great. The whole place is what we have needed for years. Mike has taught my granddaughter more in 3 weeks than our previous instructor taught her in 5 months.

Omg this is needed. Bringing back the good ole days of playing “REAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS”. Mike is a genuine person. Very devoted to the students and his Taylorville Music Lessons is a great School and is very very welcoming. I recommend him and his school and staff. The old saying “Home is where the Heart Is”. Very true in his amazing musical environment. I give him 5 stars all day long.
