Mike Singer was born and raised in Miami, Florida, USA. He began playing guitar at the age of 10. However, the resources and support systems that were available to him were limited. So he learned in bits and pieces over several years time. Unlike the "working musician" who spends the majority of his or her life playing in bars & clubs he engaged in a variety of other activities and career paths throughout his life. So his learning curve was a long one. Although it is fair to say that his life experiences meshed into his personality and character, thus shaping his playing. After graduating from high school he worked in construction and retail. Then he joined the U.S. Navy. After serving three years in the Navy and receiving an Honorable Discharge he became an Ocean Lifeguard, Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), and CPR instructor for the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association. During his five years working for Miami-Dade County as an ocean lifeguard he acquired his PADI Apnea Free Diver certification, PADI Scuba Diver certification, and Rescue Skin Diver certification & Rescue SCUBA Diver certification with the Miami-Dade County Fire Department. He also engaged in a very healthy and active lifestyle during this period of time, including participation in numerous triathlons. His experiences in these areas combined to develop three Worldwide Brands: BeachWearBabes (Sexy Brazilian Bikinis & Fitness Products), which can be found at: BeachWearBabes.com; MikeSingerMusic (Music Lessons for Guitar, Voice, Piano, Bass, & Drums), which can be found at: MikeSingerMusic.com; & Grand Staff & His Musical Friends (A Hardcover Storybook, Musical CD, Coloring/Activities Book, & Stickers Set for children), which can be found at: MusicBooksForKids.com.
As a lifelong musician, music education & jazz guitar major, and proud parent Mike created the greatest musical products ever produced for young children: Grand Staff & His Musical Friends - - a Hardcover Picture Storybook, Musical CD, Coloring & Activities Book, & Stickers. The Complete Set introduces children to all aspects of music in a fun and colorful way. Studies have shown how music improves brain development in young children. And this is truly the only product of its kind in existence. The love Mike has for both children and music lead to the creation, development, and production of this one-of-a-kind product. It is available at: Amazon.com and MusicBooksForKids.com.
Now Mike spends most of his time doing what he enjoys most - - playing blues guitar and performing with his band. The genres of music his band performs include: Blues, Country, Southern Rock, Cajun, & Classic Rock. He is also frequently called upon in very high demand for his musical teaching, coaching, & mentoring skills. Thus, when he has time available to devote to the swift development of young aspiring musicians he will occasionally take on new private students by request. This is one of the main reasons why he created a special YouTube channel to provide FREE music lessons for Guitar, Voice, Piano, Bass, & Drums. His teaching skills are so unique, dynamic, comprehensive, and called upon that he has generously put forth the world's best musical tutorials. They are available at: YouTube.com/MikeSingerMusic
Although Mike has contributed many free resources online for people to learn about music he has also published an easy-to-follow, step-by-step, guide that is most likely the greatest resource on planet earth for anyone and everyone who is interested in learning how to play the guitar. It is equally valuable for students of Voice, Piano, Bass, & Drums. It is called: The Mike Singer Guitar Player's Guide
