About Michael Boyd
Mike Boyd studied jazz at Cleveland State University, focusing on music 
performance in electric bass, and has been teaching guitar and bass to adults and children since 2000. Mike’s unique method of instruction focuses not only on learning songs, but on understanding the music and theory behind them — an approach that has shown excellent results and progress.
His work with the Cleveland-based band “Big Brother’s Brother” made a significant impact on instrumental music in the Northeast, and he’s performed with many other groups, focusing largely on rock, jazz, and improvisation. Now living in Austin, Texas, he’s playing with Tish and the Mizzbehavin’ Band and The Dry Season, both of which are turning heads, and preparing for a new solo venture in the near future.
Students will find Mike a gifted teacher, highly trained enough in music theory to improve even the best guitarists, and patient enough to work with the most novice. In addition, Mike’s students get more than just a few set hours of study; performance opportunities are available up to four times a year, and help give kids and adults confidence and skills they will carry long after their lessons. Don’t wait to find out what you and your kids are capable of!
