Alternative School Of Music

Aug 2023

I started taking cello lessons here in January on the recommendation of a friend who studies violin with this same instructor. I'm a senior citizen who hadn't picked up an instrument in 50 years, forgot everything I had learned in compulsory piano and violin lessons as a kid, and never considered myself musical. However, I've always loved the sound of a cello and decided that this was a good time to learn. I could not have found a better instructor than Mark. His ability to communicate, support, encourage and explain are phenomenal! I really look forward to my weekly lessons with him. If you want to learn an instrument yourself -- at whatever age you happen to be -- or provide the kind of musical instruction that your kids will really enjoy, rather than dread, this is where you need to come! FYI, Mark teaches multiple instruments (cello, violin, guitar, piano, etc.) and his lessons are quite reasonable.
