Hailed by many as the world’s leading solo bassist, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of what’s possible on the bass guitar for decades. While his technical skill and innovations always make an impression, it is his ability to communicate on a profound emotional level that most touches listeners.

I have been teaching guitar for over 25 years. I started teaching almost as soon as I began playing as I wanted to make music with my friends. I grew up playing classic rock and metal and gravitated towards jazz in my teen years. I attended Berklee College Of Music and The New School Jazz Program.

I've completed two master degrees (violin and chamber music) on the prestigious Kunstuniversität in Graz, Austria. During my studies I performed mostly classical music, but also film and pop/rock, as a soloist and part of chamber music groups and orchestras. I performed in Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Serbia, Hungary, China...

I am a passionate music teacher, performer, and songwriter with a deep belief in music as a path to self-expression, connection, and transformation. With years of experience across multiple genres — from rock and blues to world music and singer-songwriter traditions — I guide students not just in technique, but in finding their unique voice and musical identity.

I have been on a life journey that allowed me to travel across the country lecturing, performing music, and teaching therapeutic art. I enjoy discovering how different communities support each other and grow together through the arts. I've been described as talented, funny, warm, loving and luminous. I truly love to teach children music.
