Testimonials
"We really appreciated how generous you were with your time, and the words you shared landed really well with the students. We have had great comments coming back from the sixth form this morning. Thank you!"
Steve Willey - King Edward VI School, Lichfield
"Working with Mike was an outstanding experience for our students. They hung on every word as he broke down one of his own professionally produced tracks, giving them a genuine insight into the songwriting, recording and production process behind a commercial release. His advice about careers in the music industry was just as valuable as the practical workshop itself. The students left feeling inspired, motivated and excited about their own musical journeys, and they were still talking about the session weeks later."
