​​​​​​​​​​​"I have begun learning to play the violin with Mixalis, and its been a wonderful experience. As an adult engaging with a new instrument, one can imagine the difficulties and obstacles that to be encountered. But Mixalis being a gentle and motivating tutor of amazing skill and knowledge transforms these difficulties into enjoyable challenges"

"Very thankful for having this experience. Not only for his deep knowledge of the traditional and classical musics from mid east to west Europe but for a serious educational approach involving a human quality that made me approach the aspects of attitude and philosophy present in their particular universe as a musician. Thank you for sharing your talent with such generosity"(G.Alvarez)

"As a violinist and music teacher, I found the workshop of Michalis Kouloumis very interesting and extraordinary. Kouloumis combines the artistic mood with the technical inspiration of a good violinist performer. I consider Michalis Kouloumis as the "Paganini" of the traditional Cypriot and Ottoman music. His improvisational skills and use of special techniques in his playing make him a remarkable representative of the traditional music of Cyprus worldwide"
