Blair B. says, "I started lessons with Mike before my gender transition. It's no secret that female bassists can run into resistance, and often harassment, when finding a mentor. And for Trans and nonbinary folk, the scene can be GRIM. I was one of the lucky ones, to have found Mike V. He's not only an incredible bassist and astute teacher - he has basic human decency. He's also keen on organizing gatherings for basissts, so getting to know Mike opened me up to a really inspiring community. I'm honestly not sure if I'd still be such a passionate bass player without him. Definitely not as skilled! Thanks, Mike, for everything." Read more

Mike is EXCEPTIONALLY generous with sharing his knowledge of both the music business here in New York City as well as with his knowledge of the instrument. Mike turned me on to so much amazing music, players and taught me a thing or two on the bass geetar as well! He is an amazing player, very patient and kind. You will learn a lot with him.
