What Students Are Saying

“Honestly, I cannot throw enough accolades about Michael Daves onto the screen. He is an incredible teacher with an impeccable ear and a super power of generosity when it comes to voice, guitar and/or mandolin (if you want a little extra instrumental consideration to accompany your bluegrass music journey). The content on the platform is awesome too. He has the best friends so you can look forward to his conversations and interviews with other wonderful folks and heavy weights in the current bluegrass world. He really is a stellar teacher and person.”
