"We love Mark!!

My journey with the guitar began at 8, launching into private lessons soon after. Auditioning for and attending the Orange County School of the Arts Guitar program from 7th to 12th grade expanded my musical horizons, training me in classical, flamenco, jazz, and studio engineering using Logic Pro X and Protools. Beyond school performances at renowned venues like Disneyland, House of Blues, and jazz festivals, I delved into the LA punk scene and various local gigs. With four years of teaching experience at Guitar Center, I've instructed students of all ages and levels, embracing diverse styles and adapting to group dynamics. Teaching extends beyond the norm for me; I've worked with children and adults with special needs, aiming to make music accessible and enjoyable for everyone. With a passion for playing and teaching, music has been a constant and significant part of my life, shaping my journey into a harmonious blend of artistic exploration and education.

"Marlin was great! He was professional, patient, friendly and explained everything clearly. I highly recommend him!

Played in lots of variety cover bands (all forms of rock, blues, pop, funk, country), original rock and metal bands and most recently Bollywood. I've done guest spots on albums and a few music videos. In addition to teaching between 30 and 50 students a week since 2011, but I've been teaching guitar since 2002. There's very little I haven't seen in the lesson room and I'm excited to get you working on your goals! I also enjoy helping students learn how to use their gear efficiently. Let's get you on your way!

""Seth has focused on providing me with a solid foundation by reinforcing proper technique and continued encouragement. When I hit a perceived roadblock, Seth will patiently help me to work through it, and boost my confidence. As a former “Arts” instructor who is attempting to learn a new art, I highly recommend Seth for any position where he can share his depth of knowledge."

Imagine getting to play the part of music that makes people dance. With 18 years of experience, I provide personalized guidance, helping you master techniques and unleash your musicality. Let's groove! I have been performing as a bassist for over 18 years, and teaching for over ten years. As an instructor, I meet students where they are and tailor my teaching approach accordingly. Lessons are collaborative; I want to get to know each student and your individual goals and learning style in order to create an open and comfortable learning environment. My extensive musical background allows you to choose music YOU like to play, and through each song we will work on specific technical, harmonic, and rhythmic concepts. I use my experience as an active working musician to inform the lessons and ground everything you learn in real-world application. About me: I tour the US and internationally with Future Teens, an indie rock band with over three LPs on our resume. Future Teens has been featured on NPR, The Boston Globe, and WBUR, and was Boston Music Awards’ 2019 Alt/Indie Artist of the Year. I studied bass performance at Berklee College of Music, where I earned the Bass Department Outstanding Performer Award and Scholarship. I have a BA in English and French from Skidmore College (‘13). I have worked with students between the ages of six and sixty and welcome students of all ages.
