I took acoustic and electric guitar lessons with Mark for 2 years, and my daughter took bass lessons with Mark for 6 years. My husband briefly took keyboard lessons. It was fun for the whole family. Mark was always accommodating, and helpful with whatever level of playing you wanted to get to. He taught my daughter to read music, and taught me how to read the guitar music sheets. He made learning to play easy and fun. His prices were always reasonable and generally better than average. He works at your pace, and helps make learning enjoyable. I highly recommend Mark for all ages for keyboard, guitar, and bass.

In my 30s, I had the privilege of beginning my guitar journey with Mark, who reached out almost immediately after my initial inquiry. From the very beginning, his approach to teaching has been rooted in genuine curiosity, warmth, patience, and encouragement.
I was a complete beginner, and years later, I’m now playing at a level I never imagined I could reach. Mark has a remarkable ability to make the learning process approachable and rewarding while continuing to challenge you to grow.
From technique to music theory, Mark covers it all and thoughtfully tailors each lesson to your individual goals, interests, and learning style. His deep knowledge of music is matched by an incredible passion for teaching, and that enthusiasm comes through in every lesson.
He is also extremely flexible with lesson times and structure, which has made it easy to continue learning despite a busy work schedule. On top of that, he is consistently professional, dependable, and quick to communicate.
Years later, I still genuinely look forward to every lesson and to continuing to learn from Mark’s wealth of musical knowledge. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in learning guitar, regardless of your age or experience level!

I worked with Mark for over 6 years and he helped me learn from when I picked up my bass guitar how to play with proper technique. I learned sheet music, jazz, rock, songs I wanted to work on, and anything I needed help with. He is a great and patient teacher.

I’ve had guitar lessons with Mark for almost three years. It has honestly been a blast. He truly knows his stuff when it comes to music, which is something that was important for me, as an adult student, when I was initially looking for a teacher. We have covered so many different kinds of songs and techniques, based on things that I have been in the mood to learn. Whenever I get in the mood to try a new style, he enthusiastically shifts gears, which keeps lessons fun and me motivated. I highly recommend lessons with Mark.

Mark has taught both my sons, one in guitar and on in piano for years. He's great with kids and very patient. He'll push them to improve, but flexible enough to see when they are struggling and make adjustments. Highly recommended!
