MUSIC EDUCATION

My name is Tony Miceli and I'm the musician that created, runs and manages larrysimprovpage.com. I decided to name it after Larry McKenna. He is a great inspiration to me. I play with him frequently and continually learn from him. Larry was and is a teacher to many musicians in the Philadelphia area. I thoroughly enjoyed studying with him in college. He always encouraged and motivated me to learn, and he's very open with his knowledge of music and the business, in general.
