Mark is an American composer, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music producer. I started teaching private music lessons my senior year of high school, in 2006. Since then I've taught over 100 different students of all ages from 3 years old to 78 years old. While still living in Ohio, I was the one and only official guitar teacher for Guitar Center Youngstown through the duration of 2008-2009. In late 2009, after moving to Los Angeles, I continued to teach privately and with several music schools all around the city for 13 years.

Mark is both easy-going and focused. His knowledge of all aspects of music and audio production is brilliant. And as a teacher he is capable of adapting to the pace and needs of his students. I highly recommend!

Mark is a great teacher. He extremely friendly, personable, and overall knowledgeable about a wide range of topics. He keeps the sessions fun and makes sure that you are comfortable in the learning environment. I also appreciate how he shares lesson notes to help you keep track of your progress and the topics you discussed in the lesson. His enthusiasm for what he does shines through in his lessons, and it is clear that he is genuinely excited about the topics he teaches. Would recommend!
