He can teach teach all types of music and really focuses on what you want to learn and how to get you going with something that will motivate you to learn. He's created his own teaching materials and walks you patiently through them even though I can tell he's done this a million times. This studio on Westlake right on the water of Lake Union is a short walk from Amazon in South Lake Union. It's a cozy space part of Mike Hillman's studio that has a doorbell rigged up to a guitar, rock posters and a waiting bench. Other students range from high level tech execs to kids and everything in between. There are those that dedicated fiends looking to shred and those of us taking a slower route given our career focus. Mike is patient with all types and can accommodate. He also does hilarious voices. It's tough to have the courage to learn new things when you suck at first but Mike makes it feel like it's not an issue.

I've been taking guitar lessons from Mike for the past couple of months and I've been really…read morepleased working with him. He has the technical expertise that any student should require, but what sets Mike apart is his focus on the student and the student's goals. He takes the time to learn the student's objectives for seeking instruction, and tailors the lessons and exercises to get there -- rather than giving a stock set of instructions for every student, which I think is pretty typical (based on other guitar instructors I've had in the past). To me it's had a significant positive impact on enjoying practicing rather than feeling like it's work. He's also really versatile, and can accommodate a wide range of musical styles and student levels of expertise. Blues, rock, pop, folk, punk, country, metal, classical, whatever. Plus he pays attention and provides insightful tips and perspectives to accelerate your learning. Highly recommended!

Can't recommend Henderson Academy of Music enough and it's so nice to have them so close by!!
