I was a student of Mark's for more than 6 years. In that time he taught me more than just how to play drums, but how to persevere, have confidence and how to achieve what you set your mind to. In my opinion Mark is one of the best drum teachers in Joburg, it truly was an honor to be taught by him.

If you are looking for a passionate and dedicated teacher then you are in the right place.

I have been a student of Marks for the last 10 years. Lessons with Mark have always been a highlight of my week since Day 1.

If you are truly interested in learning music and becoming skilled at the drums there is no better man to teach you what u need to know.

Learn how to perform with confidence, work with other musicians and how music is created, formed and molded into masterpieces.

The bottom line is that Mark is the best teacher for those who want to be the best.

A remarkable teacher with patience, creativity and enthusiasm. Mark began teaching my 4-year old using innovative and fun techniques. Now as a 9-year old, my son has recently passed the Trinity grade 6 exams. Keep on inspiring musicians with your teaching!

I know Mark for about 5 years and the amount of time he spend with my son was astounding.
Matthew took lessons from Mark and the advantages were absolutely great.
Not only did he learned playing the drums but there were other advantages as well.
Matthew excelled in Maths and he achieved a sence of fulfillment.
It also might sound strange but the lessons helped with his speech as well and help a lot with his shutter.
Thanks Mark.

I have been an adult student of Mark who came to him as a complete novice with very little musical background. Within the first lesson I had a firm grasp of reading notes. Not at any stage did Mark make me feel stupid or silly for trying to play an instrument. In fact his absolute passion for music is contagious. As a result, my confidence grew and so did my playing ability. This sparked the interest of two of my children aged 6 and 11. Within a short space of time my daughter could play the drums with background music. My youngest son who isn’t an easy student must have been a challenge for any teacher, but Mark had a unique way of working and engaging with him. Mark is one of the most outstanding educators I have the privilege of knowing. His professional manner in the classroom speaks of excellence. I can highly recommend any parent who is serious about their children’s music development to Mark.
