Student Quotes

"Mark is an amazing teacher and he really knows how to help you get all the basics down. He has helped me set up a foundation to continue playing for the future. He's just cool.".......Berkeley, age 14

"When I was taught by Mark I never once had a week where I felt overwhelmed with what was expected. I never had a week where I learned nothing and above all never had a week where I didn't have fun. Mark is truly a great teacher. He knows the right mixture of skills and other things that are important to drumming, also when to change something and when to encourage it. He allowed me to learn as I wished but we always learned."........Marshall, age 14

Location

Our drum lessons will happen at my home in NE Seattle near Greenlake. The teaching studio is a comfortable room in my home which has 2 drum sets, hand drums and other instruments and plenty of room for mom to stay and listen.

Coming to your home for lessons

If coming to me for lessons isn't the best or most convenient option for you I am happy to travel to your home. I will bring my teaching materials, a drum pad and my computer so we can have all of the necessary learning tools at our disposal. I don't bring my drum set to your home so we will learn on your drum set. This has the benefit of you having your lesson on a familiar drum set but the disadvantage of not having 2 drum sets at our finger tips. If I need to show you something on the drums I'll just sit behind your drums. I charge my hourly rate for the lesson as well as for my travel time which includes the round trip time it takes to get to and from your home.

Availability

I am available to teach lessons Monday through Friday during the day and into the evening. Let me know what days and times are best for you and I'm sure we can find a spot.
