"If you want to learn to play guitar, I would highly recommend contacting Mark Huls! In 2006, my daughter, Hannah began taking guitar lessons with Mark at the age of 5. Mark teaches his students the songs they want to play. Students guitar skills evolve and build while learning their choice of music. It is a brilliant model that motivates students to practice. Mark is passionate about performing and creates bands with his students both youth and adults and provides them opportunities to perform throughout the year. Teaching guitar is Mark's main focus, but he is skilled at bass, piano and drums too. In addition to being a talented musician, Mark is amazingly patient and with an easy going personality. No matter your age, if you have always wanted to learn how to play guitar, I would contact Mark."

"I love it here! My bands have been practicing here and playing with Mark for the past couple years and it’s been only great experiences. Mark is an amazing musician and teacher who helps us work out songs and write and record our own music. You can tell he loves what does and enjoys teaching kids and adults! It is a very friendly and welcoming environment that I love coming to every week. Mark has such an expert level of experience and understanding of music that makes it easy and enjoyable for everyone to learn. Love it here and highly recommend!"

"My boys have been taking guitar from Mark for 3 years. He is patient, encouraging and offers a comfortable learning environment. Often the comment from my boys after each lesson " ...that lesson felt like 5 minutes" they love him! Mark's studio is unique because he creates opportunities for bands to form from his students. Such an amazing skill for kids to learn - playing with other people! Mark does a fantastic job coordinating concerts to showcase his students -- always a family favorite evening!"

"Mark is not only an incredible guitar player but an awesome instructor. I love that he creates 'bands' amongst his students - and they are soon talented! Myself and my kids have formed a 'band' and are learning music together. It's an incredible and fun experience for all. Thank you Mark!!"

"My son has been a student for over 2 years now. He loves playing the guitar and has a great time with his band members, and this is because of Mark's teaching style and skills. Mark has a relaxed style and as a result, the kids learn to play while also having fun. My son has learned a great deal from Mark and I am happy that this is a skill that he can use lifelong!"
