I started studying guitar with Mark while I was in eighth grade and continued up through high school. I have had great experiences with him as my teacher. He has a real interest in helping his students learn and an uncommon gift for understanding the needs of his pupils. He will be excited for your achievements and help you through any difficulties. He is extremely qualified as a music teacher but what is most attractive about him as a mentor is his kind nature. He is so friendly and eager to see you advance as a student that you can always look forward to the time you spend with him. Mark is a fantastic teacher who has been a positive force in my life, and could be so in yours as well.
