Contact: You can contact Mark directly at markzeus@markzeus.com

Cost: $40 per hour, payments made per month in advance.

General location: Lessons are given at Mark's home in Northwest Houston; not far from the 610 loop, off 290 near 43rd St.; Bingle and Hempstead.

Scheduling: There are limited times available, but all efforts will be made to accommodate perspective students. Because Mark is also a performing musician, most available times will be during the week. When emailing for a time slot, please include all your weekday openings.

Philosophy: Instruction is geared to teach the student to teach him/herself, and increase the desire to learn. One is taught how to learn songs on their own, instead of simply being taught one song at a time. Although reading is an option, the Zeus approach trains the mind and ear to understand and communicate musical ideas and structure without being tied to the staff.

A quality student will learn to become a better musician, as well as an efficient technician on his/her instrument. Songwriters will increase their efficiency in both lyric writing and composition.

Credentials: Mark is a degreed teacher. His education has focused on language arts, communications and performing arts, as well as music theory and application. He also has over 30 years experience as a performing musician, recording artist, producer and sound engineer.

Payments: Students reserve lesson times by the month (in 4 lesson blocks) paid in advance. Subsequent monthly payments are made on the last lesson day of each block. Contact Mark to make payment arrangements.

Cancellation policy: Any cancellation must be made at least 24 hours in advance to qualify for a make-up. Make-ups are scheduled around Mark's schedule. If you cannot schedule a make-up time within one week of the cancellation, it becomes void. If you need to cancel day of the lesson, please call. If Mark cancels the lesson, you will be awarded full credit and it will be rescheduled in an available time slot at your convenience.
