A well-structured and classic flute, piano, voice coaching, choir management, and basic music theory/sight reading lessons are programmed to produce optimum results from each meeting as it takes the student from the place of the known to a place of the unknown, invoking willingness to know more and anticipation for the next meeting.
In my very first meeting with new student(s), I firstly engage them in a conversation to understand what their previous music knowledge is and what aspect of music knowledge their most interest lies in.
My lessons are ready for students from ages 8 and upwards, and for all levels of knowledge with a minimum class time of 30 minutes and a maximum class time of 2 hours per meeting. Length of a class is dependent upon students request.
For Novice Only:
I then introduce the instrument to them, showing;
1. Body posture,
2. How to hold/position the body with the instrument,
3. Sound production and
4. Finger numbering for the instrument
For Other Level:
1. I have them play their scales and arpeggios,
2. I further test their ability making them play one or two short excerpts
3. Lastly, I check for their audiation/sight-reading capacity.
For All:
I then proceed to build a program that perfectly fits their thirst and would yield maximum results (depending on their skill level) from each meeting.

It all started when we were attending the same church ,when he decided to teach me flute,it all started playfully but I do not regret it, though his not always around I can proudly say his a good tutor , now am going higher trying to realize am dream of becoming a great flutist and be recognized by people.well I can say am now better ,all thank to him
Mr Mike is one of the best Teaching Musician I know. He has a lot of musical certificates to his name and will soon be acquiring a B.ed in Music from Unibadan. You will be a luck student to come across a teacher like this.
I had basicallly no knowledge about music. But i love the sound of the flute. He started from scratch and within a month i could sight read swiftly and three months I'm a better flute student.
People commend my sound all thanks to Michael.Michael, an amazing flutist who brings a new perspective to hisart form, but he has also gone the extra mile by harnessing pedagogical methods which he uses to educate other musicians. a sound music theorist, I believe he has and possess the teaching qualities of a 21st century educator.
Sometimes around last year, I've been blessed to be under his one of his performance, i supplied sound to my alma mater, faculty of Arts, university of Ìbàdàn. Michael was not only on fire on that day, there was a way his flute pierced through my body, soul and mind.. It was soothing soft and I've met him during my undergraduate days too, when the entirety of Music department came to perform at ICC U.I was doing trade fare, every department came to show case what they're capable of doing.
I Strongly recommend him as a musician myself, because it takes greatness to identify one, he's not doing music for doing sake, he's doing music with an understanding, you can't go wrong with him.
Most people does music with a little knowledge of it, he's vast in what he doesMichael is one of the best Flutist here in Nigeria and even beyond. His ability to pass knowledge through his amazing teaching skills, will leave one in awe. Michael is a colleague and friend and is highly recommendable.
Playing the flute happens to be one thing Michael is very passionate about. He would no doubt transmit his knowledge of the flute to his students in the simplest and easiest way possible!
