  • Request a list of other students they've taught to check their experience.

  • What's your educational background in music?
  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching bass guitar?
  • Do you offer a complimentary initial lesson?
  • What are the typical ages of your students?

If you're interested in it, he's very good with theory, which will help you become a musician, not just learn chords, etc. by rote. I think this really sets him apart. He is also very patient.

He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

Mark has been a perfect choice for me to learn guitar. I'm basically a beginner but knew a few chords. From the very start, he had me playing my own choice of rock songs from my favorite artists. After only 3 weeks, I can play several songs while he continues to expand my abilities. Mark makes learning fun and fast. He's very knowledgeable, encouraging and flexible. Thanks, Mark!
