Mark V. - Your piano teacher
Hi I’m Mark V. Harriott a passionate piano tutor with 15 years of playing experience and 4 years of teaching experience. I studied music and performance at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and Valencia College. I’ve performed in choirs and orchestras and I am ready to help you in all of your performance levels and needs. My piano lessons are a blend of fun and expertise. I specialize in chord theory, ear training, improvisation and more. Whether it’s for adults, beginners, or intermediate players, I tailor each session for your needs. My immediate goal is to help you identify all the piano keys, all major chords, scales and five finger patterns. If your goal is to play classical piano pieces, to play in a rock band, play for the church, impress your friends and family or just to play for your own enjoyment I am here to help. Join me as we embark on your journey to mastery!
