Dawson Music Education Piano ~ Guitar ~ Voice ~ Synthesizer ~ Performance Coaching Songwriting ~ Technology ~ Recording ~ Mixing Testimonials My musical passions have reawakened and you give me inspiration and positive guidance through the fascinating musical world. You are truly my Angel of Music! Marsha, professional musician "Mike Dawson makes learning fun. His passion and joy are palpable and delightfully contagious. Even with beginners, he is patient and yet he moves his students along better than most teachers because he knows how to get them to understand music in a deeper, natural, and more intuitive fashion.  His students do not merely translate notes...they grasp advanced musical principles with ease and fun." Mike, student’s parent ”I first met Mike as a teacher when, at close to 70 years of age, I decided I wanted to learn to play the piano.  Mike listened to me when I explained what I wanted to accomplish and adapted a teaching program to reach those goals.  More importantly, Mike has given me a new appreciation of music from classic to jazz.  I value Mike as my teacher and my friend.”   Dave, student “Mike Dawson is a wealth of musical resources to the community at large.  His talent as a player, his popularity as a music instructor, his professionalism, and his industry connections make him a music contact that you definitely want to be connected to!”  Alan, music industry professional  “My ten year old daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Mike. I can see her progress as time goes by. Mike’s enthusiasm is infectious and she is having fun. Apart from teaching her the guitar, Mike is adding piano and voice lessons to make her experience complete.” Vijay, student’s parent “Mike has been a wonderful music teacher to my kids. My son learned guitar and my daughter learned piano from him. My kids always looked forward to the lessons and liked and respected Mike for his patience and knowledge.  He is creative in his ways of teaching to keep the kids interested and enthusiastic. As busy parents we appreciated that he visited our home for the lessons and we did not have to drive the kids around. Subha, student’s parent “I have known Mike for over 20 years. When I approached him concerning piano lessons he bent over backwards to accommodate my schedule. Mike always has a encouraging word during a lesson...I've seen proof of his instructor skills at many of his recitals.  I'm sure he treats his younger students with the same attitude and respect he gives me. Would I recommend him to teach you piano or guitar?  By all means!” Ken, student "As an "over 50ish" sales executive who last played a musical instrument (trumpet) in Junior High, Mike Dawson re-introduced me to the wonders and joys of musical expression. His thorough understanding of music, positive motivational methods coupled with his "YOU GOTTA HAVE FUN!" approach gave me the confidence to learn to play the bass guitar. Afflicted with severe rheumatoid arthritis - especially in my fingers, Mike worked with me to create my own style, at my own pace, which has permanently affixed a huge smile to my face! While I don't plan on professionally touring or recording anytime soon, I am now able to jam with my two musically talented daughters (one a percussionist, the other a pianist), instead of just watching! I'm incredibly thankful for Mike's tutelage, friendship and encouragement. Mike - U DA MAN!”  Larry, student Make Music A Part Of Your Life Now & Change Your Life Forever !
