About Mike
I started teaching while I was studying for my Bachelors degree in the UK. It was a great way for a student to earn extra money! As a result of this I realized what fun teaching was and how rewarding it could be and decided to pursue a career as a music teacher. I've been doing it ever since!
I have a Bachelors Degree in music plus a teaching diploma combined with nearly 40 years experience as both a classroom music teacher and private instructor. I also hold a current Arizona k-12 teaching certificate specializing in music and have a current Arizona fingerprint clearance card which means that I have undergone all necessary background checks to enable me to teach and work with students.

It is important for a student to feel comfortable with their teacher, and so typically when I first meet you I will want to get to know you, find out exactly what excites you about music and why you want to learn. If you have played before, I will also ask you questions to help give me an idea of your previous musical experience. Very often students are nervous when they meet a new teacher for the first time, so my main aims are to make you feel relaxed and to inspire confidence. Always remember that the student/teacher relationship is very definitely a two way thing, so at the end of your first lesson I will ask you if you feel that you can work with me. If you think that I am not the right teacher for you then please say so! I will not be offended at all and since our first meeting is a free trial lesson you won’t have lost anything!
I've worked with a wide range of students over the years, including those with special educational needs and physical disabilities. The youngest student I have taught was just 4 years old, and going to the other end of the spectrum I've given lessons to many senior citizens, the oldest being 78. You are never too old to start an instrument!
Take your time choosing....remember that you don't have to take the first teacher that comes along because it is important to find someone who makes you feel comfortable so that you can build a good working relationship with them. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Every question is important, and you are not expected to know the answers or you wouldn’t be talking to me! So if in doubt ask...and if you still don't understand ask again! It's my job as a teacher to help you understand...and I love it when you do:)
It's hard to single out an individual moment, because I've had so many memorable experiences over the years. However, just in general, I still get a buzz after nearly 40 years of teaching when I see a student "get it" and achieve results. I love what I do!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Why did you choose this particular instrument? What inspired you to want to learn to play it? Have a clear idea as to exactly what it is you are hoping to learn and why you want to do it! Would your daily routine allow you to find time to practice regularly? Many students mistakenly think that the total amount of time spent practicing is more important than how often they practice. This is not true! 15 minutes regular practice 6 days a week is so much better than going for 3 or 4 days without playing and then sitting down and trying to do an hour straight off! Why just 6 days? I always allow myself to have one day a week off, and always return to the piano refreshed and ready for more. You should do the same...it really works!

Mr. Orme is an exceptionally knowledgeable, caring and professional. He taught my daughter at age 5 how to play piano, read music and most importantly develop a love for the pursuit of music. Through Mr. Orme’s teachings she learned how to play with a depth and methodology that could be applied to other instruments as well. Mr. Orme is a true professional and working with him as a parent is easy. He is communicative and I truly appreciate the gift of music that his lessons have given my child (especially at such a young age)!
Mr. Orme has been a great music teacher for our son. He takes the time to know him and adapts his teaching style to.how my son learns music best. Mr. Orme let’s him pick the music which helps keep him engaged and learning at a quick pace. He looks forward to lessons and enjoys playing. Thank you Mr. Orme!
My daughter has taken lessons with Mr. Orme for five years and she loves it. He is patient, encouraging and professional. I appreciate his love for music and enthusiasm to share it with my daughter. I really enjoy watching her gain more confidence with her musical skills. I recommend Mr. Orme to all parents, he will not disappoint.
Mike Orme goes above and beyond with his piano lessons and teaching online! Four weeks into our lessons and our daughter has already learned so much and is able to play the piano! He has a wonderful sense of humor, is extremely patient and makes each lesson fun! He is able to work with your skill level and teach accordingly. He has a wonderful setup to teach online and the ease of taking lessons from the comfort of your own home is awesome! We would highly recommend Mike Orme Music and lessons online! Five stars all around!!!
We have had the best experience with Mr. Orme. He is very positive and professional. He is also patient and really cares to help his students understand and become confident. He is easy to communicate with and always seems to go above and beyond.
My child always looks forward to each lesson.
I would recommend him to all ages, he truly has the gift of teaching.Mr. Orme is a wonderful music teacher for the family and extended families. My own three children and my sister’s two children are his many students. He has been and is still teaching my youngest child to this present day for about almost 10yrs. The rest have graduated and have gone off to college. Even through covid and pandemic my youngest continues to have lessons online via Skype. My child is still playing very well and is doing a great job. Music pieces have gotten more elaborated and sophisticated throughout the years. It is wonderful to see the advances and the level of skills he have acquired. From beginning piano of simple notes to classical Beethoven and some Jazz. As a mother I am very proud of my children achievements. I absolutely love and appreciate Mr. Orme for his love of music, teaching, and dedication to all his students learning. My sister’s one child did got a chance to advanced and performed at Carnegie Hall. We all love and appreciate Mr. Orme for his dedication to teaching. Thank you for being a wonderful Music teacher to our families.
My son is a music major in college and Mr. Orme has been a huge help to him for the past 4 years. Mr. Orme was able to help him in a variety of ways. He helped my son become proficient on the clarinet which was a new instrument for him to play. Mr. Orme was able to help with music theory class. When we had to buy a keyboard Mr. Orme helped him find the one that best his needs.
Mr. Orme is very knowledgeable and and a wonderful music teacher.
Mr. Orme brings a diverse wealth of experience to every lesson. This allows him to navigate his students unique challenges while providing a positive learning environment. As a college student seeking help with music theory and piano, I was deeply impressed to see him teaching young students with equal proficiency.
Mr. Orme’s communication to me regarding the lessons was timely and relevant. He was prompt for each lesson. Mr. Orme is very supportive of my student and holds her to high expectations. He helped her build confidence in her skills while giving feedback on places she can improve. She never felt like she was unable to do the work asked if her but continues to make strides in her playing. He is kind and talented. We had a great experience with Mr. Orme.
My daughter had piano lessons in both traditional setting before covid and through virtual learning. He is a great knowledgeable instructor in both settings. My daughter was able to progress at her pace, with great encouragement and instruction. She was able to learn with demonstration, exercises to help recognize music notes on paper and keyboard, and participating in song selections to make it fun! He even helped compose easier version of a song my daughter wanted to play that matched her beginner level. With the virtual learning set up, he had various cameras set up to view keyboard, music, and ease communication during lesson. Great instructor and person, would definitely recommend!
Mike is a wonderful music teacher. He seeks to take every student to their highest capability and he is able to start with each student at any level,any age. He loves music and seeks to spread his enthusiasm and joy for music to each and every student. Mikenis also very talented!! He is the best!!!
Mike Orme is a fantastic music teacher. I have 2 children who go to him for lessons, one for piano and one for guitar. They have both made huge improvements since they started with him, and both feel very comfortable with him as their teacher (they are 8 and 7, a boy and a girl). He is very knowledgeable about music and several different instruments and genuinely loves music and teaching. You can just tell. He teaches very good technique and always wants to ensure they learn proper form from the start. He’s also interested in their lives and asks about their interests. He explains things to them in ways they can understand too. They enjoy having him as their teacher and I think he is fantastic as well. I actually had another parent recommend him to me and I would highly recommend him as well. He’s awesome. All thumbs up.
Michael teaches modern songs, classical music, and anything else you want to know about scales, music reading, and chord progressions . . . Very FLEXIBLE!
Mr. Orme is a very passionate piano teacher. My child has been recieving lessons going on four years now. He really gets to know your learning style and will personalized teaching to fit your learning style. He is patient and really cares about you getting the most from your lesson, not to mention he keeps it fun! He has been a strong influence in my childs overall musical growth as well as her growth in confidence and commitment. He has maintained excellent communication with me on the progress my child has made as well as any areas needing more improvement. You definitely get more than just a piano teacher and I would highly recommend Mr. Orme to anyone wanting to learn the piano.
Mike Orme is a fantastic teacher - my son has taken guitar lessons from him for almost 2 years now and I could not be more pleased. He seems to know how much to push and when not to - he shares an enthusiasm for music that has inspired my son to pursue it and stick with it, even when it’s hard. I highly recommend him.
Mr Orme pays incredible attention to my son. Not just that he’s attentive to him. But he understands him. And has grossly increased his confidence not just in piano but in life.
My son has progressed at a rate I would have never imagined. Mr Orme understands my sons learning style and teaches him in ways that appeal to how he receives information.Mr. Orme has been a fantastic piano teacher for both of my sons who are now in 4th and 6th grade. He has been teaching them now for 3 years. This year has been challenging for everyone but Mr. Orme was able to accommodate online learning with ease. He will not disappoint in making lessons fun and keeping the kids engaged. I would highly recommend Mr. Orme for your student.
