MARK HARRISON welcomes students at all levels, from serious beginners through to working professionals.
Mark Harrison offers on-line private instruction in pop & jazz keyboard, theory and harmony, ear training, composing, and arranging, from his home studio in the Los Angeles area. Mark will help you reach your musical goals in an efficient and affordable way...and have fun doing it! Mark currently uses Zoom, Skype or FaceTime for online lessons. Please watch the video on this page for more information!

Mark has a wealth of private and classroom teaching experience (including faculty positions at the Grove School of Music and the University of Southern California), and has instructed Grammy-winners, hit songwriters, members of the Boston Pops and L.A. Philharmonic orchestras, and first-call touring professionals...as well as many enthusiastic amateur and semi-pro musicians around the world.
If you are interested in studying with Mark Harrison, normally the first step is to email us or call our office on (818) 887-8870 for a free phone consultation with Mark. Then if desired, you can schedule a free “intro chat” online session with Mark (normally around 15 minutes) to meet face-to-face before your first lesson, and to resolve any remaining questions and logistics.

Many students come to Mark having bought one or more of his instruction books, and wanting the focused guidance through the material that only the author can provide. We can also recommend a combination of our books for use in your lessons, depending on your musical goals.

Most of Mark’s students take lessons every week, which we recommend in order to make the best progress. You're welcome to check out our Free Video Lessons page for more examples of Mark's teaching style and areas of expertise (these videos also show the view of Mark that you would see in online private lessons).

Mark's private lessons are affordable, goal-oriented, and specifically tailored to your needs. If you would like to find out more, please email or call (818) 887-8870 today!
