A teacher that cares. My piano lessons experience with Marcus have been wonderful. I think that he really cares that you learn. When answering questions, he goes the extra mile to be sure that you understand and anticipates other questions that you might have and answers those as well. It leaves me confident and ready to take on the assignment at hand. He's very patient and professional. I highly recommend Marcus as piano teacher!
