WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Michael and the Carpenter Music Academy are the absolute BEST. Michael's skill as a musician is perhaps only exceeded by his skill as a teacher: truly one of the best teachers of any subject. My daughter began ukulele with him when she was just 4 years old and has blossomed into a truly stellar musician under his tutelage, including 18 months on zoom only. Michael is endlessly professional, kind, encouraging, and inspiring. Sign up today!"

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"I have been taking lessons from Michael Carpenter for about seven years. He has been able to respond to my eclectic tastes in music on the fly. By that I mean he has a professional knowledge of jazz, rock, country, bluegrass, Beatles, and blues that brings not only an piece to present, but also a deeper understanding of the approach and style.
I wholeheartedly endorse Michael and anyone he selects for his team!"
-Joseph H.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"Michael at Carpenter Music Academy is a wonderful music teacher who has helped shape our child's general interest in music into a deep appreciation and love. From instruction on the instruments to his integration of music theory into lessons, we have seen how he builds the confidence of his students to improvise freely on their instruments while at the same time cultivating their own interpretation of the music at hand. He's always patient, encouraging and has helped share his passion for music with his students."
