Mark Covey Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I love teaching and I take pride in doing a good job. I combine the interests of the individual student with necessary musicianship skills. I can provide sheet music, recordings, CD's, and even performance opportunities here and there. I am comfortable teaching most styles of guitar playing, but my specialization is classical guitar. I have a B.A. in classical guitar from Pepperdine University. My goal is develop a love of music and an inspiration to continue studying guitar in the student.

My influences are:

Classical: Christopher Parkening, Andres Segovia, Julian Bream, David Russell. Rock: Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeplin, Randy Rhodes.

The teacher's studio or the student's home
