     "Keith's unique approach is a refreshing way for students young and old to experience the joy of music without feeling pressured into "achieving". This program encourages those who want to play for "fun" and enables those who want to pursue music as a profession to have "fun" in the process. Far removed from the "rote" and "contest mentality" that is so prevalent these days, Keith is able to communicate the intrinsic value of music to his students and they are able to produce amazing results! As a parent of a former student and teaching professional myself, I wholeheartedly recommend the Drum and Guitar Workshop. Keep up the great work!"

He has helped me establish my own teaching program, and given me tips along the way to help me improve the efficiency and information of my program. Keith has also helped me to become a better player of all musical styles; I have been able to play in various groups in the Western Md., Northern Va. and Washington D.C. areas. Keith has been my mentor, my coach and my friend, and I would strongly recommend his studio to anyone who wants to attain a career in music."

     "Words cannot express my appreciation for the work you have done with Daniel. I listened to him play at the jazz districts --- he stuck out as the best drummer I heard that day! He truly is playing at a different level. I'm encouraging him to consider a double major in college. I then heard him at the Rock Room performance and he did great! Thanks for helping him channel his passion for music in such a positive way. I am so proud of both of you."

     "The Drum and Guitar Workshop has been a great experience for me. As an
adult student, I need a guitar teacher who provides a challenging learning environment while still being flexible. Keith MacMichael is just such a teacher. He works with me on an intellectual and creative level that I understand and is fun. Keith is also a great musician and can teach many different musical syles, from rock to jazz, to blues and bluegrass. His studio is clean and professional and provides a great environment for learning. I recommend the Drum and Guitar Workshop to anyone, young or old, who is interested in furthering their interest in music."

     "Over the past two years Keith MacMichael's passion for music, diverse performing experiences, and ability to empathize with the needs of the growing musician, have engaged and inspired our 14 yr. old son. Many times our son has discussed his enjoyment and confidence in Mr. MacMichael as a capable coach, teacher and guide to the professional playing level. We recommend the Drum and Guitar Workshop to anyone interested in taking up the challenges of becoming a musician."
