About Michael
I have an inherent love and passion for music, and as a teacher, I always strive to provide the highest quality of lessons to my students. I consider myself to be patient, friendly, and have a great sense of humor! I have a Bachelor of Music and a Diploma of Vocational Education and Training, and have been teaching for almost 20 years. I also play in a Beatles tribute band in Melbourne. I have experience teaching students as young as four, to mature students in their 60s, so I can cater my lessons to all age groups. I tailor my lessons based on YOUR needs, and my goal is to make your experience thoroughly enjoyable! All my students are unique, and I keep track of your progress to plan each lesson to help you progress smoothly and with no stress. A typical session could include warm-up exercises, music theory (so you can understand how it applies to the guitar), correct guitar techniques (picking, strumming, etc.) and of course helping you learn and play REAL songs! Playing the guitar is my passion and I would like to make it yours by sharing my skills and knowledge with you! The best time to start your musical journey is NOW!!

My lessons are based on your needs, so I will take the time listen to what you want to learn. I have a large database of songs, exercises and techniques and will use my resources to tailor make lessons specifically for you.
Lessons are based mostly online or at my studio.
My lessons can involve the following:
Warm up exercises (to develop strength in your hands)
Simplifying Music theory (so you understand how it applies to the guitar)
Developing correct guitar techniques (picking, strumming, learning scales etc)
Learning a song that the student wishes to learn (so you can play real music!)
I can teach a broad range of musical styles and the focus is to help you become a better musician. I have over 20 years teaching experience and have also taken students for AMEB exams.
My teaching style is friendly, flexible and encouraging. I also want to make you feel as comfortable as possible, so you get the most from your lessons.
A typical lesson is an hour and all relevant teaching resources (charts) are provided.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Michael.
Perfect! Amazing tutor, super helpful, high standard of communication.
Perfect! I've had the pleasure of having Michael tutor me on acoustic (and more recently electric) guitar for almost 2 years on a weekly basis. He's one of the most kindest and patient teachers, and has a student-centric approach which ensures his students are comfortable and remain a priority. He is punctual, well-organised, knowledgable and has flexibility to adapt to students' learning styles and learning needs. Michael has made learning guitar so fun and I so, so recommend him! Terrific teacher :-)

Michael is a great teacher for anyone, he is patient and explains everything so you can understand. ive been learning from Michael now for a while And have had the pleasure to understand music on theory side as well as practical. have learnt ,multiple songs and looking forward to learning more.
Michael is an absolutely fantastic guitar teacher! From the moment I started learning with him 18 months ago, I've been consistently impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for music. He comes to each lesson well-prepared, and I always feel like he's put a lot of thought into what we'll be working on.
With my technique, Michael provides highly detailed advice over zoom, which is very impressive given the subtleties of picking these up over a video call.
Michael is also a brilliant communicator. He explains concepts clearly and patiently, and he's always eager to answer my questions. He creates a comfortable and supportive learning environment, which has definitely boosted my playing confidence.
Michael consistently follows up with helpful resources, like videos, sheet music, or articles, that reinforce what we've covered and allow me to continue practicing effectively between lessons.
I strongly recommend Michael to any budding, intermediate or more advanced guitarists out thereMichael is an excellent guitar teacher, he is very patient, friendly and kind, he is also very knowledgeable and he builds your lessons based on your needs and goals for guitar, he breaks the lessons down so what your learning is easy to understand whilst also keeping his lessons fun and enjoyable keeping you motivated to play even more. If you are looking for a guitar teacher that cares and has a great way of teaching I would highly recommend Michael to help build your skill and knowledge with guitar.

11/10
I am a professional musician and have spent many years in the music industry. I have come across many educators in my time within Australia and overseas and have to say Michael Burke is one of the greatest role models I have come across.
He holds a wealth of knowledge within all things musical.
He is someone who is highly respected in his field. Michael is an amazing role model, supporter, coach and just an outright legend to work with.
He is calm, patient and will go above and beyond to explain things in great detail if needed.
I see Michael as a mentor above all because of his caring and supportive nature! Michael Burke has given me so much confidence over the years because he encourages and believes in my talents!
Michael, thanks again. You really are a Gem! I don’t have enough stars to give you!! ️I am the guitarist, one of the students who was taught by the distinguished professor and artist, Mike.
That's when I was a student at Kangan Institute in the music industry department.
It was the most important and happiest period in my artistic and musical life because this wonderful person gave me a lot of his musical skills with sincerity and dedication. As he is a capable musician and possesses great skills in playing and technical in all styles of music for guitar + comprehensive music theory + vocals.
And most important of all, he has more care for the students than they do by following them up on all the details without feeling tired or bored.
I would also like to give a big thanks for teaching me music, as I now have good skills and technique in playing guitar and singing at the same time.
I in turn advise everyone to hurry up to register with guitar teacher Michael Burke because it is an important opportunity that you should not miss.
Thanks.
