Jacksonville's Piano Man Michael Joseph Murphy

Michael Murphy is an incredibly talented pianist, performer, and teacher! His passion for music is obvious and his knowledge of musical genres, styles, theory, and improvisation is unmatched. If you are looking for an amazingly gifted piano teacher, I cannot recommend Michael highly enough!

Michael is incredible! Our son enjoyed his lessons with him. He did a phenomenal job explaining music and teaching techniques that made learning easier for our son. I highly recommend Michael if you’re looking for any music teachers in the St John’s area.

I am so grateful I found Michael. He is not only an amazing teacher but a very talented musician. His love of music and teaching is evident in everything that he does and says. He is patient, thorough, and very engaging. My son has learned so much already in the few months he's been with him. Michael has a great talent for teaching outside the box and changing lessons on the fly based on the needs of his student. If I could give him 10 stars I would!!

Michael is a true gem! As I am writing this review, I am watching him at work with my 8-year-old son who he has been inspired by and learning from him for a little over a year. Michael is a truly gifted musician and educator. He makes learning to read and play the language of music fun and easy. My son plays as if he has been playing for years - more than I learned throughout my entire childhood of taking lessons. While he may be a little more expensive than some instructors, he is worth every penny and then some. I HIGHLY recommend "Mr. Michael" to anyone of any age. :)

Words cannot begin to describe the expertise and patience this man has in teaching children music. I have no idea how it even happens but I can say without certainty, my daughter fully understands how to read music after a little over a year and she isn’t even 8 years old yet. Michael is amazing to work with! He is professional and brilliant in music and has a way with children that is truly a gift in this world! If you are looking for a really good music teacher, Michael’s is the best there is and we didn’t start with him so we know for sure!
