classical music on an instrument, there are some benefits to it. That benefit
is having the ability to play multiple instruments such as the violin, piano,
bass guitar, and sing in a tenor range.

is currently involved in a few groups. Those groups are the guitar quartet,
guitar duo, up and coming band from 2011, and church worship band(s). For his
quartet it's rare for being offered gigs. The quartet plays compositions
ranging from Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th Century, Film(s) and Video
Game(s).
Every
Sunday at 5 pm, Michael played guitar for his home church. The more he listens
to singers and instrumentalists, the more he thinks of his own playing and
determine what to play through practicing.
