Experienced Music Educator: Instrumental, Production, Composition
Good Day
I am Mark and thank you for checking out my profile.
I directed school music programs for 18 years. I retired from public school and have been teaching privately for over 4 1/2 years. I work with 70+ students each week, both online and in-person, and I have a California Teaching Credential in Music (K-12).

Makes piano fun for kids
My 10 yr old daughter took 4 lessons with Mark so far and we will definitely continue! He is great with her, makes lessons fun. He cares about her learning and is kind to follow-up with note sheets, book recommendations. I also appreciate that Mark is quick to respond to mesages, flexible and accommodating with his schedule.

Mark is awesome
I needed help loading some new sample libraries into Logic Pro X and Mark walked me through it beautifully. He's a terrific teacher and fellow musician/composer - perfect combo for the mission!

Very knowledgeable and helpful
Very friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Provided great suggestions for a composition. He is not time bound and will just use the necessary time needed. Will certainly use his services for future needs.

Knowledgeable tutor and kind.
It was my son's first session with Mark R., he was very engaged and is looking forward to the next session with Mark. Mark established a quick repour and expectations for the student. Mark pulls from his knowledge base to meet the student where they are.

Teaching bells to my grandson. He is very patient, friendly and makes learning fun! My grandson was super frustrated with bells and the lessons with Mark have really helped give him a more positive attitude!

Great teacher, always patient
Mark has been working with my son weekly for many months now. He is always patient and helpful with my son as he tries to master 7th grade band as a clarinet player. I appreciate Mark’s efforts and my son is definitely getting better and his band teachers have noticed!

Engaging and Patient teacher
My son has taken several lessons with Mark and recently proclaimed "This is the best violin teacher I've ever had." The teacher has great suggestions for book and song selections to engage my son in different kinds of music and skills. He makes the lessons fun and gently corrects his mistakes. He is patient and knowledgeable. We are happy to have found him:) Thank you!
