Biography
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!
