Founder Portrait Frame

Michael S. Flaherty

I started playing guitar in 1995 and began teaching professionally at Hutchinson's Music Shoppe from 1999 to 2001. Since then, I've delivered countless one-on-one lessons. Today, that same personal instruction is delivered remotely, with AI-tailored planning to match each student's exact goals, speed, and learning style.

Instruction Philosophy

Precision fundamentals, creative songwriting, measurable weekly progress
