Mark is firm, direct, and thorough, ensuring students develop the resilience and mental fortitude required to excel in performance, high-level exams, and the competitive nature of the classical music industry. His strategies are directly informed by his own professional experience as both an orchestral member and soloist.

He values assisting his students in finding their own sound and supporting those who wish to one day write their own music.

Payment Options

Mark offers a flexible fee structure that supports dedicated, professional students by operating on a week-by-week basis often taking more than one hour a week, ("take a lesson, pay a lesson") and does not follow school term holidays. However, you must still secure and weekly day and time in order to obtain regular lessons, as it is often not possible to change lesson times around other students.
