Mark first picked up a guitar in 2003 at the age of 13 and has never been able to put it down. He began taking lessons from a local teacher and from age 16 progressed on to study music Performance full time at South Eastern Regional College in Bangor. During this time he diversified into other string instruments such as Bass Guitar and Double Bass earning qualifications for both.

He has been performing for almost 15 years at a variety of functions, festivals and events throughout the island of Ireland. It was during these years performing Mark discovered a passion for teaching, enabling him to share his knowledge and experience to those wishing to learn.

Mark has delivered lessons in a range of locations such as schools, colleges, and at home, to a mixture of age groups and catering for all abilities and ambitions. More recently and in light of current world events, Mark has set up online facilities to allow current students to continue lessons and to invite new students from all around the country who may be limited with travel.

Testimonials

"My son has been attending one-on-one lessons with Mark for two years and is delighted with them. Mark is friendly and outgoing, his lessons are engaging and has broadened my son's appreciation for both music and the theory behind it, as well as encouraging my son to practice for his own pleasure and enjoyment. I'm happy to have him teaching my son and plan to continue lessons into the next year."
