Michael is a junior at Wall High School in the Engineering Academy, and music has been a major part of his life for as long as he can remember. He began playing drums in elementary school and has grown into a passionate, versatile percussionist. At school, he performs in the wind ensemble and pit orchestra, and he serves as a co‑section leader for the marching band’s percussion section—an experience that has strengthened both his musicianship and leadership.

Throughout his eight‑year musical journey, Michael has dedicated himself to mastering a wide range of percussion and auxiliary percussion instruments. He is skilled in snare drum rudiments, confident on mallet instruments, and enjoys exploring the unique textures and techniques each instrument offers. He also spent time behind the drum kit in a rock band he formed with friends in middle school, where he embraced a more energetic and creative style of playing.

Outside of music, Michael enjoys tennis, swimming, and spending time with friends. He is genuinely excited to share his knowledge and continue growing as a student teacher in Creative Spirit Music Studio.
