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 space in the basement which has enough room for 2 drum sets, hand drums, other instruments and mom if she wants to stay and listen. Currently I am in the process of having the garage converted into a sound proof music room which will be a great comfort to my wife and our soon to be arriving daughter (mid-September).

If coming to me for lessons isn't the best or most convenient option for you I am willing to travel to your home. This option doesn't have all of the benefits of coming to my studio and it is more expensive. I charge my hourly rate for my travel time which includes the round trip time it takes to get to and from your home. Also I don't bring my drums to your home so we will learn on your drum set which eliminates the benefit of having two drum sets.

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.
