Michael Hienzsch grew up in a musical family and took up piano at the age of six. He earned a degree in Music Composition from U. C. Berkeley, and took private instruction in conducting, orchestration, and jazz arranging. Michael has been the music director on over 75 musical theater productions, and has performed in Moscow, London, Paris, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. His works have been performed on three continents. He has worked with thousands of wonderful students over the past thirty-five years, in children's theater, private music lessons, youth orchestras, and high schools. Michael has repeatedly seen the impact that early music exposure has on a child's character, cognitive ability, emotional intelligence, and cultural awareness.

From the Introduction by Stephan Hume: "I remember the day of my 12th birthday when we went to pick up my birthday guitar from a relative's house. It was a small, half-sized child guitar that was stuck in a very large oversize guitar case. It was used, it was dinged up, but one thing was for sure... It was mine. I already loved it. "And I never could've envisioned in my wildest dreams that someday I would be able to share the passion for learning to play music with others through owning and operating a successful music school. But I prayed for something great to happen, and here we are "There are two types of people: Those who play music and those who wish they could. Which are you? Are you ready to finally learn to play music yourself? Let us show you how easy it is to play music. The truth is, you don't need "natural talent" to become a musician. Playing your favorite songs just takes time and patience. When you discover the music that lights you up, you can accomplish things you never thought possible." (Previously published as I Fell in Love with Music.) Stephan Hume appeared on the hit MTV show, "Made" and is recognized as an international expert on rock bands and youth music education. His passion for music education led him to start Littleton School Of Music in 2006. Today Stephan leads the bright and talented staff of Littleton School of Music as they help students learn to do more than just play music; his desire is for them to passionately proclaim, "I fell in love with music."
