Michael is great. He works with me on my goals, he knows everything about the music I want to play, and he is good at helping build confidence. I’m more excited about the future of my guitar playing than I’ve ever been.

About Micheal Sebulsky
Hello and thank you for considering me as your teacher! Are you looking to improve upon your abilities? Are you looking for motivation? Are you hoping to find a teacher who can provide a balance between discipline and fun? Are you looking to find a teacher who will teach you the music YOU want to learn? I have over 20 years teaching experience, working in many venues, including K-12 public schools, private lessons and university instruction. Currently, I am a Graduate Teaching Fellow in music theory at the University of Oregon, where I teach undergraduate music theory and ear training. I am also an experienced performer, having worked and toured with bands who are currently a part of the national country music scene, along with those who have established themselves in the Los Angeles music scene. I am also a classically trained guitarist. I have earned bachelor's degrees in Music Education and Guitar Performance. I hope to share my strong passion for the guitar and Music Theory with you, and assist you to reach all of your learning goals. For me, teaching is one of the most exciting aspects of my career, and I look forward to giving you all the tools you need to learn exactly what you wish. I love teaching! I have been interested in teaching since age 5, when I set up a small classroom in my parents' basement. Since then, I have been privileged to teach in three states, at the University of Colorado, and also to maintain my own private teaching studio. Teaching is not something that I look at as a stop-gap job - teaching is my main focus. I enjoy sharing the gift of guitar and music with my students, helping to assist each and every student to a new "ah ha" moment with each lesson, while propelling each student to reach their ultimate goals.
Reviews
Michael is an excellent communicator. I found it easy to understand the lesson instruction and learned some techniques that are now helping me progress much faster. He is a true professional.
Michael blew my mind in the lesson. He had me concentrate on things ive never heard of doing and directly help solve some of my hurdles.
Michael and I connected almost immediately - and it got better the more we spoke. His training approach really resonated with what I was looking for. It was very clear to me that he had my best interest in mind and would be a very good teacher. We've only connected once so far, but I can tell this will be a very good experience for me - and achieve what I am wanting relative to learning how to play the guitar.
Micheal is the best combination of deep knowledge/skills and ability to translate that into teaching someone at any level. Working with him has been a joy.
I’ve had a handful of lessons from a handful of teachers that were of negligible impact. The teachers were skilled but the lessons mostly amounted to learning riffs, with only one exception. And that one exception overloaded me with advanced things that overwhelmed me early on. Mr. Sebulsky is an expert but also a great teacher who very quickly figured out where to start and how small of steps to make and the speed to take them.
I had a wonderful lesson experience. We discussed things I had never thought about in playing guitar as far as the practice approach. It makes total sense!
Just finished my first lesson after mixing up the time 100% my fault. Micheal by far is a superior and effective teacher with the highest amount of patience. Not to mention plenty of visual aids and methods to break everything down if needed. Definitely locked in another lesson and highly look forward to it! If you’re on then fence definitely give him a try he will be the push you need to guitars a go.
Micheal is an absolutely incredible teacher! He breaks things down in such a clear and concise way. He has all the best technology to augment his verbal instruction--I can't believe how much I've learned from him in such a short time. He is very patient and asks thoughtful questions that make me think deeply about music. Micheal is very supportive and positive, and just an all around really interesting guy. He scaffolds things perfectly and adjusts the lessons based on what I'm able to do. I couldn't be happier and just wish I would have started lessons with him years ago.
Excellent knowledgeable instructor. Learned loads in just a few lessons. Highly recommend.
Micheal Sebulsky, what can I say but he's great, and is a great listener with answers that teach you.
