Mark Christopher Brandt has operated a successful private instruction studio, built solely on word-of-mouth advertising, since 1991. In 2011, he received the Virginia Governor's School Award for exemplary service and dedication to education. Many of Mark's students have achieved high honors and scholarships at both the high school and the collegiate level. Many have successful careers in the music industry as performers, educators, producers, and engineers.

​

After his 1999/2000 New Year’s performance at the Cosmos Club in Washington D.C., Mark decided to step away from performing so that he could be close to his wife and to his children during their young years. During this break, he built one of the most reputable teaching studios on the East Coast, regularly placing students with scholarships into the top music colleges and universities in America. After his return to the world of performing and recording Mark’s studio and his reputation as an educator continued to flourish. To this day Mark teaches students from all over the country via zoom, FaceTime and even email. His private instruction studio has remained active and busy since he first opened his doors.

Many of Mark's first students have remained in contact with him over the years. Some of them began with him as children and they now have children of their own.

The true musical artist is comprised not simply of one personality but three:

The Improvisor/Composer, the Performer/Recording artist and the Permanent student/Educator.

If one of these is missing or derelict in any one artist, the art form of music suffers wherever that particular artist treads.

Procrastination is the deadly enemy of the artist. There are one million well described reasons why you can not practice today. There is one reason alone why you will. You love it. If that love is not there then you are not an artist.
