Experience a new way of learning the piano in which improvisation is one huge part of the overall process.
And why shouldn’t it be? Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and other great composers? They were known first and foremost as great improvisers and then, secondarily, as composers.
When you study with Mark, whether in his studio or over Skype, you work with him to create your own approach to your own interests. So if improvisation, classical music, composition, music theory, music technology, or some combination of the above interests you you can work out a way to learn about those things with Mark. And do keep in mind, the path towards learning is very much about what interests you. It’s a path that’s not a set succession of steps that the same for everyone.
That’s because all things you do with Mark are based on your own abilities and interests. The results of your study with Mark—your progress—will demonstrate whether or not you’re working with the right teacher because it will be obvious and evident. The equation is simple: Practice and have fun doing so and stick with it and the progress comes, often before you even realise it!

Mark’s a world-class jazz pianist, a wonderfully inventive composer, an expert in electroacoustic music, and a mentor in the fullest sense of the term.
He’s inspired every aspect of my creative development. His guidance, teaching and support transformed my life–I wouldn’t have gotten where I am without him. I can’t imagine a more complete teacher for any aspiring musician.

Mark was my teacher at the University of Maine at Augusta as part of a BA Honors degree in jazz from Leeds College of Music. Mark transformed my understanding of music. And while he was teaching me harmony and improvisation he was also showing me an approach to life. I seemed to walk out a foot taller from every one of his lessons.
Now nearly 20 years later, I run creative music workshops with diverse groups including orchestral players, opera singers, prisoners and primary school children. I find myself quoting him practically every day to the groups I work with. The participants seem to walk out a foot taller as I did years ago.

Mark’s approach is a journey of discovery. His emphasis is on listening and appreciating not only the sound and quality of the notes, but also the spaces in between. He gives the classical pianist freedom to let go of ingrained preconceptions –to be thankful for wrong notes as the impetus for improvisation–and to banish the rational voice which might say “you can’t do that!”.
