Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Mark Weathers, but my students called me Mr. Mark. I started taking formal piano lessons when I was 10, but starting playing around when I was 7. My first passion for music from what I can remember has been showing other kids how to play some piano like Heart and Soul! I have been teaching for 8 years, and I am currently the chairman of my local Piano Festival Competition in my area, and organize meetings for all the piano teachers in my area to meet. I have been teaching piano, ukelele, cello for almost a decade full time. Teaching music has the been most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life, and I plan to do it for the rest of my life. I am an active member of Music Teacher's National Association and National Federation of Music Clubs.
I believe that music is for everyone and anyone can learn it. My role as a teacher is to help guide students towards their goals. While I am, classically trained with the piano I am open to students suggestions and questions during the learning process. Students will learn variety of styles from pop to blues to classical to jazz. I also help students with RCM exam prep for students who are interested.
I am actually a citizen of Alaska, and lived here my entire life. But a fan fact I have lived in the Phillippines for 2 years, where half of my family lives! When I'm not teaching music, I am hanging out with family, swimming in the lake, or painting! I love nature, and exploring the different opportunities Alaska offers. A fun goal would be to travel Canada and visit all 50 states in the future.
