  • The lessons are fun.

  • “The difference between good teachers and great teachers: Good teachers make the best of a pupil’s means; Great teachers foresee a pupil’s ends”.-Maria Callas.

    “I am going into my 3rd year of Mr. Black’s class and it has been and still is an awesome experience. I haven’t experienced this much excitement about learning anything in a long time. I’ve dreamed of playing Jazz Guitar for ages and I’ve just played “Autumn Leaves”, a jazz standard, at one of Mark’s recitals. That feeling of accomplishment in that moment was magical. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better instructor as Mark Black. Please don’t miss out on the opportunity of a life time by not taking Mark up on his offer. It will be well worth your time and money as an investment learning how to play and creat sonic art. Mark is the best music instructor I’ve met.”

  • Mark is an amazing Instructor!

    “Mark is an amazing piano instructor. He first learns about your personality, learning style, and any prior musical knowledge one may have. Then tailors a lesson plan based off of the information given. His lessons are laid back, enjoyable, and easy to follow. And he will often stop to make sure that the topic discussed is understood. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend him for piano lessons. A+++”

  • Mark will help you to learn the music you love.

He teaches voice, guitar, bass, sax, piano, flute, mandolin, ukulele, etc. He is also a worship leader who understands how to lead teams and how to engage sacred and secular music. He is highly flexible in his methods. I have taken lessons with him at his studio. I have also had lessons with Mark from my office and at home via Skype. I have participated at seminars at his studio. I have also had Mark and his wife, Terri, come to our congregation to work with my team. The recitals at Plano Courtyard Theater have also been great experiences. Mark will help you to learn the music you love.”
