Brian Bonds - Guitarist (Florida Georgia Line, Love and Theft, Chely Wright)
“If there’s one name responsible for my success in the music business today, it’s Mike Bauer. After beginning lessons with him at age 12, Mike quickly honed in to my strengths and weaknesses and completely changed my playing in a matter of months. His ability to help me with the styles I liked while also exposing me to music and players outside of my box was priceless. My lessons were always on Thursdays and I could hardly wait for them each week! Each hour of every lesson spent was always fun, informative, uplifting. As I grew older the lesson were not only about guitar, but they also dealt with many issues in the music biz. To this day, I still check in with mike from time to time to get his advice.”

“My son has been taking guitar lessons at Nolensville Guitar Academy for the last two years and loves it! Mike has a great rapport with the kids and is an excellent instructor. The small group lessons are perfect for my son who is an athlete with a competitive spirit. Being in a group motivates him to practice so that he doesn’t disappoint the “team”. He has become good friends with the kids in his group, and they have learned from each other as well as from Mike. It’s been a fantastic experience!”

“My son, Ryan, has been taking guitar lessons with Mike for over a year. He is an extremely talented teacher that gets the kids playing songs they recognize very quickly. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for guitar lessons!”
Wayne and Lisa Martin
“Our daughter started taking guitar at Nolensville Guitar academy two years ago at the age of six. We were shocked when she quickly learned to play “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Now we are shocked that she can play “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith on the electric guitar! Mike is an extremely patient and motivating teacher.”
The Mulhall Family
“Our two teenagers just love Nolensville Guitar Academy. Mike’s passion for music and enthusiasm for teaching guitar is very evident in the progress James and Sophie have made. The mix of acoustic,rock,electric and country music, as well as their requests for current songs, makes every class a success and keeps the interest of all the students well fuelled! ”

“Mr. Mike is an amazing teacher that really knows how to pace the lessons. He is a great friend and role model with a super personality. One thing I liked the best was how quickly he got us playing and at the same time teaching us valuable techniques. Mr. Mike is the guy to go to for guitar lessons!”
