Michael Howard is a musician and teacher. You might know him from one of the many local government schools he teaches at in South East Melbourne. Michael has been playing guitar since he was a kid and teaching has always come naturally to him...

Soul Revival Music was started by Michael Howard, a musician and teacher.

Music has the power to affect the way we feel. How often have you listened to your favourite songs because they reflect the way you're feeling? Sometimes we'll listen to music to change the way we're feeling. When we perform music for others it not only expresses our individuality to others, but it affects the listener on an emotional level.

Learning an instrument is a journey that offers us all of these things and provides us with unexpected insight into ourselves.

I believe that we all have within us the ability to be musical and while some find it easier, we do not have to be a natural musician to discover and enjoy the benefits of music.

I know from my own experience as a self taught musician, that learning an instrument is often difficult but I believe we can all learn with the correct guidance. I have seen people go from frustration to excitement in an instant because the struggle they were having in making music was understood and overcome. This is what I believe makes my lessons different. I seek to work with my students on a personal level to remove whatever is holding them back from playing the kind of music they enjoy.
