Michael is a great teacher for anyone, he is patient and explains everything so you can understand. ive been learning from Michael now for a while And have had the pleasure to understand music on theory side as well as practical. have learnt ,multiple songs and looking forward to learning more.

Michael is an absolutely fantastic guitar teacher! From the moment I started learning with him 18 months ago, I've been consistently impressed by his professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion for music. He comes to each lesson well-prepared, and I always feel like he's put a lot of thought into what we'll be working on.

With my technique, Michael provides highly detailed advice over zoom, which is very impressive given the subtleties of picking these up over a video call.

Michael is also a brilliant communicator. He explains concepts clearly and patiently, and he's always eager to answer my questions. He creates a comfortable and supportive learning environment, which has definitely boosted my playing confidence.

Michael consistently follows up with helpful resources, like videos, sheet music, or articles, that reinforce what we've covered and allow me to continue practicing effectively between lessons.

I strongly recommend Michael to any budding, intermediate or more advanced guitarists out there

Michael is an excellent guitar teacher, he is very patient, friendly and kind, he is also very knowledgeable and he builds your lessons based on your needs and goals for guitar, he breaks the lessons down so what your learning is easy to understand whilst also keeping his lessons fun and enjoyable keeping you motivated to play even more. If you are looking for a guitar teacher that cares and has a great way of teaching I would highly recommend Michael to help build your skill and knowledge with guitar.

I've had the pleasure of having Michael tutor me on acoustic (and more recently electric) guitar for almost 2 years on a weekly basis. He's one of the most kindest and patient teachers, and has a student-centric approach which ensures his students are comfortable and remain a priority. He is punctual, well-organised, knowledgable and has flexibility to adapt to students' learning styles and learning needs. Michael has made learning guitar so fun and I so, so recommend him! Terrific teacher :-)

Michael created a warm and welcoming environment from the start, and made me feel comfortable and at ease. He took the time to understand my musical interests, and catered closely to my prior experience and skill level.

I appreciated Michael's patience for my many questions and he always ensured to checked my level of understanding of the relevant music theory, which was something I had expressed interested in learning. He broke concepts into manageable pieces, making learning new elements attainable.

I am a professional musician and have spent many years in the music industry. I have come across many educators in my time within Australia and overseas and have to say Michael Burke is one of the greatest role models I have come across.
He holds a wealth of knowledge within all things musical.
He is someone who is highly respected in his field. Michael is an amazing role model, supporter, coach and just an outright legend to work with.

I see Michael as a mentor above all because of his caring and supportive nature! Michael Burke has given me so much confidence over the years because he encourages and believes in my talents!
Michael, thanks again. You really are a Gem! I don’t have enough stars to give you!! ️

I am the guitarist, one of the students who was taught by the distinguished professor and artist, Mike.
That's when I was a student at Kangan Institute in the music industry department.
It was the most important and happiest period in my artistic and musical life because this wonderful person gave me a lot of his musical skills with sincerity and dedication. As he is a capable musician and possesses great skills in playing and technical in all styles of music for guitar + comprehensive music theory + vocals.
And most important of all, he has more care for the students than they do by following them up on all the details without feeling tired or bored.
I would also like to give a big thanks for teaching me music, as I now have good skills and technique in playing guitar and singing at the same time.
I in turn advise everyone to hurry up to register with guitar teacher Michael Burke because it is an important opportunity that you should not miss.
Thanks.
