As a performer and piano teacher for the past 35 years, Mark’s

specialty is clear explanations. His demonstrations start with the whole

picture, completely transforming the learning process. After

frustrating experiences with four different teachers between the ages of

five and seven, Mark returned to the piano ten years later at the age

of seventeen.

Learning to play piano as an adult has given Mark a unique

perspective and a great appreciation for what is most helpful and

effective for those who have a deep desire to play the piano. While Mark

respects traditional teaching methods, he is quick to point out that

many of the top pianists throughout history violently disagreed with the

“note-reading only” approach. Once you have seen his overviews and

insightful presentations, Mark guarantees that you will be pleasantly

surprised at your new ability to play with confidence on a level that

will lead your friends and family to believe you have been practicing in

secret!
