About Mark

I teach using a variety of educational methods and materials. I have an organized step by step approach that will help students play to the best of their ability. The youngest student I have taken for private lessons is 3 years old, but most young people are ready to begin by age 5. The best compliment I ever receive is when a student goes away to college and when they come home, they call me for lessons.

I was asked to help a non-major college student prepare for his jury.  It was fun and we both learned from the experience.

The process varies from student to student.  Some prefer a method book which is straight forward. Many like to a more literature centered approach. Others like a combination of the two.  How I teach depends on how much structure a student needs or wants.



In 33 years of teaching I have seen all types of students.



You must make the commitment to yourself and be willing to work on your instrument a minimum of 5 days a week.  If you are willing to make that commitment you will be successful.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
When I wanted to learn to play, my mom asked me if I was willing to practice before I went to the swimming pool.  I said I would always practice before I went to the pool or to Kings Island.

The big question today is "are you willing to give up 30 minutes of video games to to practice?"
