Mr. Palermo is a class act. He gives kids the confidence, and patience to learn music, and he wants to see them succeed. His smile is infectious, and I am honored to know him, and call him a friend. Where I am in life today, I owe him for believing in our dreams to believe in ourselves.

I’ve known Michael for over 30 years. Great educator, great musician and a great father! As a fellow band director, you can tell when someone has a passion for what they’re doing… Mike Palermo has a passion for his students and for music. In all aspects of music – teaching, performing, judging – he is top notch!

Michael is an educator for all levels, all learners and all areas of music. I have had Mike out twice to work with my middle school bands and jazz bands. The kids loved working with him and learned a great deal while he was with us. He is positive, and fun while engaging and motivating. On a personal note we have been friends for over 4 decades, growing up in the same hometown. He is a friend I can depend on, someone to talk shop with and someone to make you laugh. I highly recommend Michael for any level ensemble to inspire your student musicians.
