Purpose-built Studio in Babbacombe, Torquay
Mark's musical knowledge is so vast and thorough. When it comes to teaching, he's able to get the best out of each student and adapt his teaching methods to fit each student's playstyle instead of enforcing one set method for everyone.
As a former student, Mark was always able to not only show me "how to play" but explain to me why, which I found really helped me understand the guitar and helped me become a better musician!
Mark taught me guitar for a number of years, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He doesn't just teach you how to play, but he teaches you how to enjoy playing as well.
Each lesson is engaging, but tailored as well - knowing which technical areas need to be brushed up on. With the perfect blend of personality and professionalism, I've come to have a deeper love for the music I make from my fretboard. Whether you're a beginner, or an experienced musician, Mark is the guy to go for.
When you start learning an instrument you truly have no idea how many doors it can open up for you.
Whilst being taught by Mark not only did I learn the guitar, but I was also introduced to many other avenues that come with playing an instrument, whether that be new social circles, skills such as performing or an increase in confidence and experiences in my everyday life.
Mark's a great teacher who makes you feel confident in what you’re playing but equally pushes you out of your comfort zone, allowing you to progress further than you could have ever imagined. Picking up the guitar was one of the best things I ever did and it went on to shape my University course as well as career path.

Don’t wait to turn your musical dreams into reality. Join the growing community of guitarists in Torquay who are already learning and loving the instrument.
I teach all levels, from complete beginners to advanced players - there are no skill or age boundaries!
You can explore a variety of styles, including rock, blues, pop, classic rock, country and more! I tailor my lessons to you - you tell me what you would like to learn, whether that's the songs of your favourite bands or artists, stuff for school or events - it's your lesson, so we work on what will help you!
While having your own guitar is ideal, I can provide recommendations or help out with one to get you started for the first few lessons.
I can also help get you get great deals on musical equipment, including guitars and amplifiers, thanks to my contacts with one of the UK's biggest music retailers!
Absolutely not! Your lessons are tailored to you and each lesson should build on what you know and where you want to take your playing. Some people like doing Grades for a sense of achievement and others are not interested! It's your call!
Yes I do! In fact I love helping older players - especially those that have struggled previously because of lack of confidence or had poor teachers. You're never too old to learn or brush up on what you know - and you can do lessons whenever it suits to top up your knowledge and techniques. No need to commit to schedules if you just want to get together to learn a few ideas as and when it suits - get in touch, I'd love to catch up with you!
