Mark Zeus Music Lessons
About
Instruction is geared to teach the student to teach him/herself, and increase the desire to learn. Students are taught how to learn songs on their own, instead of simply being taught one song at a time. Although reading is an option, the Zeus approach trains the mind and ear to understand and communicate musical ideas and structure without being "tied to the staff". Learning the basic structures of music is critical to this approach. Learning how to apply knowledge of those structures is even more important. Application of choices they provide is the essence of creative musicianship.
Mark has a teaching degree from Northeastern Illinois U. His education has focused on language arts, communications and performing arts, as well as music theory, composition and application. He also has over 35 years experience as a performing musician, recording artist, producer and sound engineer.
