PIANO TEACHER

Face-to-Face and Online Piano Teacher.

I am an experienced and dedicated piano teacher who offers face-to-face and online piano lessons to students of all ages and levels.

I have had great success teaching both children and adults and firmly believe that it’s never too late to learn.

Many of my students, particularly children and retired adults, have made tremendous progress and are either playing for pleasure or preparing for ABRSM exams.

These exams provide students with a specific goal and the motivation to excel. Over the years I have successfully guided countless students through the ABRSM Practical and Performance Grades with excellent results.

COMPREHENSIVE BEGINNER ONLINE PIANO COURSE

Beginner

With new videos and PDF’s published each week, students can learn at a time and pace that suits them.

ASYNCHRONOUS PIANO LESSONS

In addition, students can watch their tailored piano lesson video several times weekly and complete the assigned tasks at a time that suits them.

LIVE ONLINE PIANO LESSONS

Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

I strive to offer all my students a unique learning experience.

To achieve this, I utilise state-of-the-art equipment including two 4K cameras, one HD camera, a professional microphone, and screen-sharing technology.

Through clear and concise instructions, I ensure that every student maximises their full potential to achieve their musical goals.

FACE-TO-FACE PIANO LESSONS

In addition to providing online piano lessons, I enjoy giving face-to-face classes from my custom-built studio in San Pedro del Pinatar, Murcia.

The studio is equipped with a brand-new C2X Yamaha grand piano in a spacious and inviting environment.

Regardless of your skill level, I am here to assist you in accomplishing your musical aspirations.

ABOUT ME

Originally from North Yorkshire in the UK, I embarked on my piano journey at the age of 7.

Initially self-taught, I had my first formal piano lesson at the age of 14. By the time I turned 17, I had relocated to Leeds, UK, where I pursued studies at the Leeds Conservatoire of Music, ultimately earning a Bachelor’s degree in Music.

During my time at the conservatoire, I received numerous awards for piano performance and gave multiple recitals as a professional pianist.

Following the completion of my undergraduate studies, I furthered my education at the University of Leeds, obtaining a Master’s degree in Music Performance.

At the young age of 21, I founded my own piano studio, where I worked as a piano tutor and professional accompanist.

In 2017, I moved to Spain, continuing my career as an in-demand piano teacher. Even after my relocation, I maintained a strong connection with my students in the UK, who opted for online piano lessons with me. This support allowed me to expand my busy face-to-face and online piano studio, while also developing my successful online piano course.

Testimonials

WHAT MY STUDENTS SAY

”Mark is an enthusiastic, kind, and supportive piano teacher who we feel really fortunate to have discovered for our two young children. Our daughter (8) has been studying with Mark for three years and we have been delighted by her progress and recent high merit in Grade 1.

Our son (6) also enjoys his lessons as Mark relates to children incredibly well, while also being an extremely talented and committed musician who encourages his students to progress.

Both children look forward to their lessons at Mark’s house and through his professional approach and experience he has made a major contribution to their love and understanding of music. We highly recommend Mark."

Jane and Tom

“I have had experience with several piano teachers, and can confidently say that Mark is the best piano teacher I have met. He teaches my 7 year old son who is making very rapid progress.

He is friendly, very professional, and has a lovely manner with children. I would recommend him to anyone.”

Fiona

"Great teacher and an excellent person. I recommend him for anyone who wants to learn the piano, regardless of their level."

Manuel

“Mark is an outstanding piano teacher. He teaches my two grandsons (age 9 and 8) and is inspirational in the way he motivates and encourages them.

He sets, and achieves, high standards for technique and performance (a high distinction in Grade 1 recently, for one of them, in his first experience of ABRSM exams), but piano lessons and music making are always fun, and practising between lessons is never a chore.

He has a great rapport with children (and with grandmas too!) and has been an important influence in fostering the boys’ love and understanding of music.

I would recommend him without hesitation.”

My son moved to Mark just a few months ago. He was not confident and considering giving up playing but has been completely turned around. He has rediscovered his enjoyment and is always happy and positive after every lesson he has with Mark and looks forward to the next one. It is lovely to see and we are delighted with the change.

Mark is currently teaching piano to 3 members of our family. My eldest son (10) has been studying with Mark for 4 years – initially in Leeds and now via Skype since Mark moved to Spain. He enjoys his lessons with Mark and we have been delighted by his progress and the high exam marks he has achieved. My youngest son (7) has been studying piano with Mark for 1.5 years, all lessons via skype, and is also making good progress. Having seen how much the children enjoy their lessons, my husband (45) has now also recently started piano lessons via skype with Mark and has been very impressed with the lessons. We highly recommend Mark as a piano teacher. He is enthusiastic, extremely patient, readily adapts his lessons to the students needs, and is able to relate and encourage his students across a wide age range.

Moving to piano lessons with Mark has totally revolutionised my daughter's love for music. Not only does Mark teach her how to play music, she is learning how to adapt music sheets and finger placement making the whole experience totally different to your usual lessons. She is now a lot keener to take her self off to practice in her spare time, for the love, not just because she feels she has to. Mark has found the perfect balance of being a teacher and an inspiration to young students. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Mark is a fantastic, inspirational teacher. He has been teaching my two grandsons for the past 5 years, initially in Leeds, and, since he moved to Spain, via Skype.He makes his lessons fun - and practising between lessons has never been a chore for our two boys. Mark sets high standards, his students respond positively to his expectations, and the results are evident in the exam successes that his students achieve. After 5 years my older grandson, age 13, is already preparing for his Grade 6 exam.I recommend him without reservation to anyone who is looking for a piano teacherClare Jenkins

Mark is an excellent, patient piano teacher. He has been teaching my 2 children (now aged 11 and 14) from an early age and they have worked their way through the grades and are now due to sit their grades 4 and 5 respectively. For the past 2 years the lessons have been over the internet and these have been just as successful as face to face lessons. I would thoroughly recommend Mark as an highly skilled and talented pianist and piano teacher.

18:23 11 Sep 19

Mark has been teaching my two sons for 5 years with great success, the last two years via skype lessons (we live in the UK). Both boys started as beginners and have progressed at a good pace, with excellent exam results. Mark adapts the lesson to each student, making it challenging but fun. The boys enjoy the lessons each week. I can thoroughly recommend Mark to any parent looking for a piano teacher for their children.
