My daughter takes violin lessons, but since she started taking piano lessons, she is more interested in music!
I love seeing how joyful she is when she comes to class!

“We are highly pleased with Mark Phillips as Joseph’s private piano instructor. Since beginning with Mark, we’ve noticed greater fluidity in Joseph’s playing. Joseph’s confidence has risen as well. He takes a piano class at his high school, and his first grade since meeting with Mark was a 99% on his piano performance project.
Joseph loves piano, but needs development on his skill. Mark directs him in such a way that his love for the music comes out, without the errors he experienced previously.
Mark’s lessons have resulted in the idea that Joseph is seriously considering piano as an area of study when he goes to college.
Mark’s teaching method is great because he is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, well organized, and determined. We are thankful to have Mark teaching Joseph!”

“Our 12-year-old daughter had been showing great interest in playing the piano for many years. After a thorough search and vetting many competent music instructors, we found Mark!
Mark is a wonderful and talented instructor and is obviously highly qualified. Those two don’t always go together.
Some of the things our daughter has learned from lessons with Mark are:
How to read music - before formal lessons with Mark, our daughter would play music that she heard but did not know how to read music. Now she can read music!!!
Using her non-dominant hand more,
Learning chords and how to keep time
Speed and confidence in playing.
My wife and I are very grateful for Mark. We have been impressed by his unique way of teaching our daughter. His lessons are structured, fun, and interesting. We truly appreciate his teaching ability and professionalism.
We have no hesitation giving Mark our highest recommendation.
Simply put, Mark is AWESOME!! We praise God that he has chosen to share his musical talents with the world by teaching others.”

Emmanuel, 12, Late-Intermediate Level Student
Emmanuel started playing piano lessons at his school but was not advancing too much, since it was only 30 minutes and other students were with him at the same time.
When my wife and I would out that Mark Phillips was available for piano lessons, we decided to stop piano lessons at our son’s school and try something better.
Mark is a great pianist and a wonderful teacher. He is very focused, professional, and he is great with kids. My son has gained a lot of confidence. He is getting better, faster, and he is even participating at church with some music pieces!
On a funny note, my son has started to teach me piano!

Ever since Thabi started her piano lessons, she has steadily gained confidence in playing the piano. She looks forward to her lessons with her teacher each week.
Mark is amazing with children. He is very caring and patient and creates an environment that is friendly and inspiring to kids.
Because of piano lessons Thabi has developed a positive attitude towards learning new things.
