Piano Lessons in Palm Springs
BassLine Music is the Coachella Valley’s premier musical education center for comprehensive and enjoyable piano lessons. We welcome every age, stage, and level of playing.
Learn the Music You Love
Music is much more than just a profession to practice, an activity to pass the time or a development tool. Music is a universal language. It exceeds the capacity of verbal expressivity, offers refuge from the speed and superficiality of modern life, and unites us. As Nietzche once said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”
Through music, you can express and experience emotions, entertain insights, and tell stories of fear and reverence, happiness and fulfillment – or just learn to play that Elton John song you’ve always dreamt about.
No matter your motivation for learning to play the piano, BassLine owner and instructor Mikael Jacobson is prepared to take you or your child’s playing to the next level.

Piano and Drums
Indian Wells, CA.
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.
It’s rare to find a good teacher who is at once accomplished and humble.
Mikael possesses an engaging style; whether you’re the shiest person on the planet or the most confident, whether you’re a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, he can help you achieve skills in music you hardly dared dream.
6 years ago, I lost my mother, my best friend. Both my parents were, at one time, working musicians. My mother, a jazz singer, had always wanted to learn piano and began lessons in her early 60’s.
I decided to take a page out of her book and started taking piano lessons with Mikael shortly after she died.
I had tried piano lessons earlier, with several local teachers, but I always wound up quitting because I’d felt they were trying to mold me into something I wasn’t, wanting to teach me what they wanted me to learn.
Before I even arrived at my first lesson with Mikael, he asked me to bring in 5 songs that I wanted to learn. I’ve had many music teachers in many states during the course of my 50+ years, in both piano and guitar, and not once did any of them ask me what I wanted to learn, neither what I hoped to accomplish musically. And many were more than capable.
Nearly 6 years on with BassLine Music finds me playing piano and drums (!), playing and singing in a band, learning a wide variety of types of songs, learning to read music and understand what goes into composition and making songs sing.
Studying with Mikael is a true and pure joy I look forward to each week. May I live forever. Dreams I didn’t even know I had have come true. But those are my dreams. What are yours?
