About Mark

I am a passionate jazz pianist and teacher with over twenty years of experience performing and mentoring. My lessons focus on creativity, technique, and improvisation, helping students of all levels grow musically, build confidence, and discover their unique artistic voice.

About the lesson

I believe music is not only about playing notes but about telling a story. My teaching approach focuses on developing creativity, strong fundamentals, and confidence so that students can express themselves freely through improvisation.

Teaching Methodology & Techniques

Step-by-step guidance in harmony, rhythm, and ear training
Practical improvisation exercises from simple motifs to complex solos
Focus on both technique and expression, balancing discipline with freedom
Learning by doing: play first, analyze after

Wrap-up with practice strategies for the week

What Sets Me Apart

Over two decades of experience as a jazz pianist, composer, and educator
National broadcasts and performances (CBC Music, JazzFM91)
Unique ability to connect classical training with jazz freedom
Patient, adaptable, and passionate about helping each student discover their sound
