“I wanted to add some new harmonic tools to my playing so I went to Mike Tucker. The way he plays is so slick and deliberate….That’s how I want to play. So lessons with Mike was a no Brainer”

“I have known Mike Tucker for over 25 years. We have come up together playing literally every single type of music style possible and he always plays what needs to be played for the situation. He Never thinks of himself first, only the music. This is the reason why he is one of the greatest teachers I know because he has concepts on how to approach every style of music and can convey it in the clearest way possible. I am 39 years old and the trumpet player in the funk band Lettuce. I still take lessons from Mike Tucker!”

“As a saxophonist and educator, Mike Tucker is on a world-class level. Hiring Mike as a guest artist with the Foxboro High School Jazz Ensemble was a transformational experience for our students, staff, and community. He adeptly elevated the status-quo of what was possible both musically and educationally with our students. I would hire Mike for any gig!”

“My son has been taking lessons from Mike for the past few years. After his first lesson, my son, only 13 at the time, came out literally “beaming” because the lesson went so well. My son has since grown musically by leaps and bounds. To quote my son, “It’s crazy how much I learn at every lesson!” Mike is an excellent teacher who really pays attention to detail. His teaching and genuine caring has made my son a much better saxophonist and with Mike’s help, my son has consistently been highly ranked in district competitions and was also recently accepted into a competitive jazz ensemble. It makes me happy as a mom, too, when I can see that my son genuinely enjoys his lessons, enjoys playing music, and I don’t have to beg him to practice. Virtual lessons have been a breeze and are very effective. We highly recommend Mike Tucker as an amazing teacher who will not only improve your child’s technical ability, but will also instill a love for music and jazz along the way - he’s the best!!”

“I’m a lifelong learner, and when Covid hit I was looking for something I could do that would be a positive learning opportunity. I’m also a little bored with my playing. I’ve known Mike for a while, and knew he wasn’t touring so I asked him for lessons. I thought I’d take a couple lessons and see how it went. I’m going on three months now; lessons have been everything I was looking for. While I was familiar with many of the concepts, the difference here, and what makes these lessons so valuable is that Mike shows you how to practice the concepts so that you can internalize them. The zoom hook up has been flawless, and the lessons are recorded so you can review them. The other big plus is you get to hear Mike playing tenor! I’ve put a lot of time into this, it’s not something you get overnight, but if you’re a musician who wants to improve, I would recommend online lessons with Mike Tucker.”
