I, Michael G. Turner, breathe through music. My love for music began at a very early age and I was blessed to realize, very soon, that it was my passion.I began performing at the age of 13 on clarinet, in voice, and on drums and percussion. Most of my early performance experience was obtained in church, school, and in my older brothers' Top 40 band. I hold an Associates in Music degree from Los Angeles City College, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education from California State University Northridge, a California State Teaching Credential, and I am currently the music teacher and director of bands at Chatsworth High School in Chatsworth California.

I have been teaching private flute lessons for over seven years, and I cherish the unique experiences I have with each new student I work with. I graduated from the University of North Texas with my BM (bachelor of music) in flute performance, and from Stony Brook University with my MM (master of music) in flute performance. I have performed in orchestras across the United States, in Canada, and in Europe, and I have been fortunate to study with wonderful mentors throughout my career. Read More

I am a classical trained musician. I was brought up in Bloomington Indiana, the home of the no.1 rated music school in the States (by the teacher's association).

His playing style is comfortable, clean, natural, and free of tension problems. Read More

I really began teaching when I was in high school and then going into college. During high school I was discovered by different middle school and elementary school music teachers and asked to come teach their students.

In 2017 I was offered a visual and musical teaching position with the Grants Pass Highschool Marching Band. Read More
