Online + In-Home Lessons
I offer private lessons to students of all ages across a variety of instruments, genres, and topics. Ten years of teaching in private, group, and classroom settings has given me tremendous insight into how to best structure lessons around the needs of each individual student. I aim to keep lessons engaging with emphasis on achieving both short-term and long-term goals.

TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been playing guitar for nine years and only had one tutor prior to meeting Marc. Marc had taught me more in one year than I had ever learned alone. His passion for music and dedication for teaching really shine through in his lessons.”
“Marc is an excellent music teacher. For the past four years, he has taught my daughters, who have grown and learned a great deal. Marc engages students in learning by getting to know the student and meeting them where they are. He uses a growth mindset approach to praising the progress while perfecting skills necessary to build on, resulting in playing their favorite songs and performing during a recital. Both my daughters continued to take classes virtually during the pandemic. As challenging as virtual learning can be, Marc was consistent and masterful at building their relationships and sharpening and teaching new skills. I highly recommend Marc as a teacher. ”
“Marc is a great music teacher. He’s relatable and can easily give you motivation. He doesn’t make you feel bad when you make mistakes or pick up small habits and has taught me a lot in my three years of playing guitar.”
“Marc is an amazing teacher. I have been taking lessons from him for four years, and I have learned so many things about the piano and guitar. He has pushed me to become better at both instruments and has encouraged me throughout my musical journey.”
“My two boys have been working with Marc on piano for three years, having started at the ages of five and seven. Marc is skilled with young children in that he introduces an element of discipline and consistent practice while also meeting them at their level. Even in the long days of the pandemic, Marc managed to connect with them via Zoom and to keep them on track. Marc has taught them theory and rhythm and how to present themselves at a recital, and yet he will entertain their requests to learn music that speaks to them, even if it’s a TV show theme or a tune they know from a video game.”
