Hi friends and neighbors, my name in John Mickelson. I am an Atlanta, GA based guitar teacher who believes that music is one of the best ways for anyone of any age to learn how to express themselves in a positive way. I strive to make learning fun, but also challenge students with each lesson. We can start from square one, or help dust off that old guitar that’s been sitting in the corner and get it back in tune and making music. My goal is to help each student get where they want to go with music, it’s never too late!
Testimonials
“I wanted to take this opportunity to share a wonderful guitar teacher we have here in the greater Decatur/Edgewood/Candler Park area. John Mickelson has been a great instructor to me the last couple months, he has helped me solidify barre chording, intro finger-styling, and understanding scales in a way I never thought was possible. I've been tinkering with guitar off and on for years, but this really took things to the next level in a handful of lessons.” – Azadi B. (student)
“I tried to teach myself guitar as an adult and found it painfully slow, almost impossible. Ever since I started taking lessons with John I can't believe how quickly I am progressing. He has an incredible gift for figuring out where I am at and providing just the right foothold to climb up to the next level. It's almost magical, like sometimes I will show up with a question in my mind and he's already got a lesson planned that answers it. I cannot recommend him highly enough!” – Margaret M. (student)
“Adding my unsolicited testimonial for John! My 7 year old has been taking lessons for the past few weeks and is really enjoying it! John is relaxed, kind, and patient.” – Sara G. (parent of student)
“John Mickelson won’t teach your child to play the guitar, he’ll teach her to love the guitar. Learning any instrument is difficult, with progress frustratingly slow as a foundation is built. John got my son going on iconic songs right away. Will your child become Mick Taylor over the course of a few weeks? No, that’s silly. She will start making sounds that sound like music after her first lesson.
No one will ever mistake John for J.K. Simmons in Whiplash (the movie). He has a soothing tone and demeanor and an easy and encouraging way with kids and parents - even through a Skype screen. My son doesn’t practice. He plays. It’s the sound of a child falling in love with an instrument.” – Mike M. (parent of student)
