Hi! I'm Michael Kiaer, a bassist and guitarist who's spent years playing, recording, and touring with a variety of bands. With a BFA in Jazz and Contemporary Music from the New School, I'm excited to share my knowledge, passion, and experience with you. I've delved into many musical worlds—from rock and jazz to experimental electronic music, unique sound installations, and vibrant Brazilian and Cuban rhythms. My goal is to help you unlock your potential by focusing on what truly inspires you. Together, we'll create personalized lessons that fit your interests, whether that's refining your practice routine, mastering new skills, or diving deeper into your favorite styles. Let's make music that genuinely excites you—I can't wait to support your musical journey!

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Miso Studio and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (KVGAU) to connect your family account to my teacher account.
MusicTeacherNotes is free for students. They have an upgradable option available, called the Gold Plan, but upgrading is not required. I can manage our music lessons whether you use their free account or their Gold account.
MusicTeacherNotes helps music teachers manage their students and helps students learn music faster. By empowering parents and students to get much more out of private music lessons, learning music becomes a better experience for everyone.
