My daughter takes lessons from Mark and I am so happy with how quickly she started to play music...not just beat on the drums. It is obvious he is an incredibly talented musician. I have taken, observed and given music lessons so it was easy to recognize how good of a Teacher he is, too. Most of all he is an approachable, genuine guy without an ego. My impression is he cares about his students. I confidently recommend Mark.

i am 68 years old without any musical background and have just started taking drumming lessons. Since grade school this has been of interest to me and having Mark as my instructor could not be a more ideal connection. Learning any new skill or craft requires stressing the fundamentals and now i am able to see more results from his methods. My time and money are well spent. Drum on! Dallas

Drum lessons with Mark has been great!! He is able to break things down and make them simple so you have a clear understanding. He's great at keeping you motivated and I always leave the lesson feeling uplifted. I'm an adult and it's nice that I get to learn what I want to learn - not just learning out a book. I highly recommend him!!!
