Mark Dunnett, Instructor

Santa Clarita · Piano, Guitar & Ukulele

I teach kids, adults, and students with special needs in a calm, unhurried way. The goal is simple: leave each lesson more confident than you arrived, with skills you can actually play at home.

I have been teaching for 15+ years. I am a Berklee College of Music graduate and an award-winning film composer, so students hear how real music is built — not just how to pass the next page in a book. Lessons stay patient and practical. We go at the student’s pace.

Also available for teens and adults: composition and songwriting.

15+ years teaching experience

Patient with kids and special needs students

KAJA B.
"My son has been having piano lessons with Mark for over a year now and absolutely loves it. My son is 8 and now plays piano thanks to Mark. Super glad we found him on here!"
Stephani B.
"Mark is absolutely awesome. He is fantastic guitar player (the whole world already knows that). He is wonderful teacher. He responded within 30 minutes at 11pm and he was at our home teaching my son next day at 2pm!"
Mamun R.
"Worked with my altering schedules. Always responsive to not only the lesson for the day, but individual items that interested me that I wanted to know and add to my learning. Always personable and professional. Excellent instructor. At this point I don't think I could ever use another instructor."
