About Mark
I am a full-time, professional music educator with over 45 years of teaching experience. I hold a Degree in Music Education and served as music faculty at Vanguard University for 16 years.
My teaching methods are comprehensive, proven, and have guided hundreds of guitarists of all ages—including custom-tailored approaches designed to keep young children engaged, confident, and progressing. Over my career, I have even had the privilege of instructing high-profile music professionals, including Ron Welty (the longtime drummer for the multi-platinum rock band The Offspring), whom I taught for several years.
Conveniently located right on the border of Fountain Valley (about a 1/4 mile away), making in-person lessons easily accessible for students in Fountain Valley, Huntington Beach, and surrounding areas.

Perfect! I have been taking my son to Mr. Mark for about 2 months already and all I can say is that he is wonderful. My son is 7 and has ADHD. He is a handful most of the time. His has poor attention span and is super hyper. Mr. Mark has always made him feel welcomed and has all the patience in the world to deal with him. He is very knowledgeable about music and explains everything to my son like he was an adult. Its amazing how my son understands everything! Mr. Mark has helped my son to fall in love even more with music. I totally recommend him to anyone. He is awesome!
Perfect! Mark is very patient and helpful for an older beginning guitar student. He is obviously knowledgeable and skilled in many areas of music so he is able to give good advice and direction. I've had two sessions and plan to continue my lessons with him. I think he is a great teacher and a really good guy!
Perfect! Mark is an excellent teacher as evidenced by my 11 yr old grandson's enthusiasm for his lessons. Mark is professional, kind, and supportive. He strikes just the right note (pun intended.)

My mid-teen grandson (NN) asked if he could have a "key board" as his Christmas gift. A few months after receiving the key board I asked NN if he would like to take lessons and he said "yes". I located Mr. James through a professional music teachers association and the rest is history. Mr. James is a dedicated and extremely patient teacher. NN has been Mr. James weekly student for 18 months and I attend each lesson and observe his teaching skill as well as the development of NN's music ability. I think it says a lot about a teacher's skill if a 16 year old wants to continue the lessons. My judgement of the teaching skills is partially based on the fact that I have been attending music lessons (cello with various teachers) with my now 20 year old granddaughter for 10 years.
After my son's first piano teacher moved to another state, we tried others, but he was only discouraged. We are so happy we found Mark, he has brought back my son's desire to learn.
