Private lessons allow me to teach what the student wants to learn - classical, pop, etc.Let me show you how much fun learning acoustic piano or electric keyboard can be.
Learn how to:
- Read standard music notation
- Read lead sheets and fake books
- Creatively improvise and compose music
- Be a contemporary musician
Here is a sampling of what my clients are saying
- Nyly Sy, Fountain Valley, CA
After my son's first piano teacher moved to another state, we tried others, but he was only discouraged. We are so happy we found Mark, he has brought back my son's desire to learn.
- Susan Budge, Huntington Beach, CA
I can't imagine a better, more positive introduction to piano than Mark James gave my daughter. Mark taught her music theory along with a wide variety of musical genres, letting my daughter's interests guide what she studied.
- Virginia Warren, Chapman University Professor

HELPFUL INFORMATION
I recomme
nd starting children on piano or electric keyboard at age 5 or older.
A 30-minute weekly lesson is fine for beginners age 5 to 12. For teens and adults, I recommend a 45-minute lesson.
Serious musicians should plan on 4 to 6 hours of practice per week. Casual musicians, those who see their music more as a hobby, will do fine with 2 to 3 hours practice between lessons.
