Hello! I’m Mike! I’m an educated career Jazz Bassist who loves to teach kids and adults to love music as much as I do! I teach guitar, bass (electric and upright), piano, music theory and ear training. No matter what instrument you’re learning, you’ll always learn theory with me, as I believe that you must have a firm foundation to truly understand how music “works”. I’m a native of Falls Church, Virginia and have toured throughout the country and Eastern Europe playing electric and upright bass in all styles of music through musical theatre touring groups, cruise ships and playing with major label recording artists such as Citizen Cope, Tim Eyermann, Meredith Brooks, Pearl Kaufman, Duke Daniels (of The Platters), Nap Turner, and David Grohl. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Shenandoah Conservatory of Music in 1995 and have taught music throughout my career at University level, private studios and now in my home studio in Winchester, VA. I am also available for online lessons. I look forward to hearing from you!

Students (Parents for younger students) will need to register for a free MusicTeacherNotes account. If you are a current student of mine at Mike Rainsberger Music Lessons and haven't registered your MusicTeacherNotes account, please click the orange button below. You will use the studio code (N7HVX) 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.
