Testimonials

  • One of the things about becoming a musician or becoming a better musician is knowing your limitations and working on or around them. One of my limitations is that I’m a horrible music instructor, so my work around here is to talk about Mike. Mike Fonseca is a fantastic, knowledgeable, patient instructor who can either get you started playing an instrument or help your playing to ”Level Up”.

    I tried to teach my son to play, to varying degrees of success but when Mike came along side him his playing went off the charts. So if you’re thinking about it, consider talking to Mike.     Adam Shaw
  • Mike got me started singing in 2017 and I haven't stopped ... he helped me throw caution to the wind and get over being shy ... I love it so much and love all the friendships I've made thru music ❤ ❤ ❤ thanks Mike ❤ Meg Hoole
  • I could not recommend this guy enough. He is an incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and patient teacher in his craft. Whether you are a beginner, or even a seasoned player that could use some guidance to get you the ability in music that you are looking for - Mike's the person you want in your corner. Get a hold of him to secure a spot in his curriculum, before the all the seats are taken! Myles Anderson
  • Highly recommend, Mike is an excellent teacher, he has taught me just about everything I know on the Guitar, and has enhanced everything I knew before going to him. He goes at your pace, makes lessons very entertaining, and can talk your ears off about anything Music related. I have always got my money’s worth ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ Rain Wesley
  • As someone who has received guitar lessons from Mike before, I highly recommend going to Level UP music. During my time as his student, he encouraged me in furthering my skills and assisted me in advancing my technique as a guitar player, which was extremely useful considering I had already been playing guitar for years before going to him. He is patient and very approachable, and if I showed him a song I wanted to learn how to play, he’d break it down for me and teach it to me step by step. I have been to many teachers over the years, and Mike is without a doubt, the best. Mikala Snyder
