Testimonials

Sejal B.

Palm Desert, CA.

Mr. Mikael is an amazing music teacher.

Since he can teach many different instruments it’s easier to keep the kids interested in music.

I have two boys who have been learning music since age 4.

If they get overwhelmed with learning piano, he will do some drums or other instruments for a little bit to get a change of mind.

I would recommend him for anyone who wanted to teach their kids music at a young age.

Yvette G.

Mikael is a fun-loving, goofy, experienced, and serious musician. His knowledge of music is astounding and cuts across genres.

Because he’s done so much from performing (classical, rock and everything between), coaching/teaching various instruments, teaching history of rock, recording/mixing sound, writing music for film, and collaborating with many musicians – he draws on deep experience when working directly with students.

Most importantly, he brings his deep love of music and finds fun ways to engage his students. His students span from little ones to those discovering joy in learning and playing music later in life.

Also, studying music has so many benefits for kids AND adults. Check him out and bring more music into your life!

Have you always wanted to learn to play a song, write a song, sing a song? Do you dream of learning the piano? The guitar? The drums? The bass? The ukulele? Or do you fancy yourself a DJ?

Mikael Jacobson of BassLine Music is a myth-buster; a savant, of sorts, in many areas of music, he’s a teacher who both can do and teach others to do.

A jack of most genres and master of many.
