I attended Summer music programs at Apple Hill (New Hampshire) and Sewanee (Tennessee) and have extensive experience in orchestra, quartet, and chamber group environments.
Upon graduating Emory university in 1992 I played professionally in Destin, FL as a bassist, guitarist, violinist, and vocalist. I performed as bassist and backing vocalist with "Salty Dog" for nearly a decade. I am the co-founder of the Destin, FL band "Beach Mice." We perform for several weddings, corporate events, and benefits every year. Beach

About Cierra F.
Close
I am an experienced guitarist and guitar teacher of 7 years! I am happy to take your skills to the next level! We will focus on strengthening scales, ear training, finger mobility, and more! You will be jamming out with your favorite rock, pop, jazz, r&b songs in no time!
About Cierra
I am a pianist, guitarist, ukulelist, and vocalist with a BA in music composition from Clark Atlanta University. I have participated in several jazz bands, including The Raelettes. I have also had the time of my life touring the country with the Clark Atlanta Philharmonic Society. I have now had the pleasure of teaching fresh out of college and have been doing so for three years now! It has become one of my greatest passions!
My students will focus heavily on building a solid foundation, as that is the beginning to anything that is great and that will last, right?! My piano students are usually playing songs within the first 2-3 weeks of lessons! We focus on strengthening sight reading and technique, so we can bring it to EVERY piece of music!

My piano students are usually playing songs within the first 2-3 weeks of lessons! We focus on strengthening sight reading and technique, so we can bring it to EVERY piece of music!
As a guitar teacher, one of my main focuses with my students is muscle memory and SCALES! If
you want to be able to solo along with your favorite lead guitarist, it would help to know what key they are playing, right? I am here to help you identify different positions and scales along the fretboard to get you playing that a lot sooner!
My ukulele students are quite unique, as so the ukulele! If you have taken up guitar at anytime, ukulele will be such a breeze for you! But even if you have not, it is one of the 'easier' stringed instruments to learn. I focus heavily on practicing individual note reading, scales, and of course, different strumming techniques for this instrument. This instrument is all about the strum!
I was first a vocal major in college before switching to music composition. My vocal students will see improvement in their breathing within the first two weeks of lessons. Once we understand the breathe, we will delve deeper into strengthening that breath in the core so that we produce a clear, healthy and melodious tone!
Music is first about passion. Then, it is about the doing, but also keeping the passion. And I think you're ready! Send me a message, and let's get started!

Acoustic Guitar Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Acoustic Guitar instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Bill
"Mark taught our son beginning at 10 years old and continued well into high school. Our son was playing songs within the first couple of lessons and grew e
xponentially. He later taught music himself and was accepted into the guitar performance program at the prestigious Belmont University. Today, our son is living and performing in Nashville, and it all dates back to seeds Mark planted. Mark is a patient teacher, a relevant musician, supportive, generous and intuitively knows the best approach to igniting a passion for music and nurturing talent. I highly recommend Mark as a teacher for students of any age and any skill level."
