About Mark
About me;
I play and teach the piano, guitar, and bass guitar, and I am located in Cleveland, Ohio.
I attended Cleveland State University where I studied the piano, with a major in Music Theory and Composition. I have been a musician all my life; playing, composing, recording, and touring, but have been concentrating on teaching for the past 23 years.
My students are from all proficiency levels and all age groups.
I have been on the staff of the Broadway School of Music for twenty-three years, and have also taught at Memphis Ridge Music (now Santana Bros Music), the Family Learning Center for Music in Twinsburg, in the Cleveland Public School system, and at the Beck Center for the Arts.
I am currently teaching lessons in my home studio and online.
Lessons are $17 for 30 minutes, $25 for 45 minutes, and $32 for an hour.
For a reasonable fee, you get quality instruction in a relaxed, professional and safe environment.

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! I've been doing bass lessons with Mark for about 5 months now. He is an awesome dude and a great teacher. His knowledge of music is really impressive and after every lesson I always feel like i've improved. He has taught me some really cool songs and has even expanded my music taste. Highly recommend!
Perfect! Mark does a wonderful job teaching my 8 year old daughter. She looks forward to lessons and she says “he is great”! It’s so nice to be able to stay at home and have her get guitar lessons virtually. Highly recommend !!
Perfect! He go back to me quickly and answered all my questions.
He seems like a very professional, caring instructor.Perfect! Lessons with Mark are one of the highlights of my week. When I first decided to take lessons, I wanted to find someone who actually knew music and could explain why things were the way that they were, not just someone who figured “I play guitar, maybe I should teach it.” Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, while also having a great sense of humor that makes the entire learning experience a lot of fun. Even the beginner books that I’m working out of have been fun, because he constantly shows ways to make each song better by showing me techniques I can use to make it more “musical”. In addition to the lessons being great, there have been several times that I’ve had to reschedule lessons to a different day, and Mark has been so flexible with me. I definitely recommend lessons with Mark.
- Thank you for this great review, Zech. It means a lot to me.See the response Mark :

Perfect! My son has been doing guitar lessen with Mark for two and half years online. My son improved his skill lots during that time and he will continue his lessens. Mark is reliable and excellent online guitar teacher.
Perfect! My son has been taking lessons from Mark for the past three years since he was ten. I was looking for someone who was patient and understanding since kids can easily become frustrated and want to give up. Mark has been patient and encouraging and my son went from begrudgingly being forced to practice to actively finding his own music to try out. Would recommend without hesitation.
Perfect! Mark is an excellent teacher. I have been taking piano lessons with him for several years now since moving to Cleveland in 2020, and he has become like family to me. He is patient and kind, and I appreciate that he follows my pace as an adult learner who has never played piano before but also challenges me to keep growing. He makes each lesson fun, and attending lessons has become one of my most favorite parts of each week. I always leave my piano lessons feeling refreshed and happy because of Mark's calm and encouraging teaching style.
Perfect! Mark is awesome. Super patient and overall a great teacher.
Perfect! He's very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Seems to really enjoy teaching.
Perfect! My kid as only had one lesson so far -- but in that one lesson it was clear that Mark was patient and kind, and excellent at assessing my child's current musical development without making them feel judged for the areas where they were lacking or over-confident (and my child is very easily embarrassed by correction, so this is quite an endorsement).
Mark was also affordable and all around very reasonable (and I was pleased that he initiated the sometimes difficult conversation about Covid safety, so that we had that worked out before we went).Perfect! He is very patient and he is willing to adjust the pace with my progresses, which is really nice of him.
Perfect! Friendly, easy to talk with and ask questions. Takes the time to explain the hows and whys of the lessons.

As an adult, I knew it would be more challenging to learn piano. Growing up, I was involved in community theater, school musicals, and choir. I always regretted quitting piano at an early age because it would have been a strong base for my love of the performing arts. For Christmas 2019, I asked for a piano (mind you I am 28 years at the time) and made it my goal to learn to play piano again. Cue February 2020, I contacted Family Learning Center for Music (in Twinsburg, Ohio) inquiring about piano lessons for adults. I got paired with Mark Kmit as my instructor.
From the moment I met Mark, he was so patient and knowledgeable about the instrument. He takes the time to make sure you are perfecting and learning from your craft. I had a few weekly in-person lessons, and then Covid hit a month later. Mark told me that we could continue lessons, but it would have to be virtually. We tried Zoom, but it was not the best option. We discovered Facetime worked well. Maybe a little lag or echo, but it worked for us. Our virtual lessons continued into the summer months, but I was about to move across the country to Seattle, Washington. I told Mark the news of my move thinking that I would have a few final lessons with him then have to start over with finding a piano instructor. That’s when Mark told me, “How would you like to continue lessons virtually? I can make it work. I have a few other students who live out of state too.” I said, “Let’s try it out and see if we can do this.”
3 years later, we are still doing lessons virtually over Facetime! I am on Level 3 of my piano books. I cannot stress enough how amazing Mark is! He is an excellent piano teacher. My lessons are 30 minutes every week. Mark has been so understanding and flexible around my work schedule and other events that come up. If I get frustrated, he makes the lesson positive. He has a calming presence and really makes sure you are grasping the concept and not just “flying through” the books. There have been times where I have been on a piece for weeks before I finally start to “get it.” It is also helpful to have someone who is holding you accountable to practice your skills. I am grateful to have found a great piano teacher.My daughter first began taking piano lessons with Mark back in 2017. Since then, she has progressed from standard lesson books to playing more complex classical pieces such as "Morning Mood" by Grieg and "Jupiter" by Holst. Mark has even helped her learn how to compose music of her own, which has become one of her favorite hobbies. I absolutely recommend Mark as a teacher -- he's the best!
He is very supportive and always encouraging to my son who is taking piano lessons, challenging him to try something new- new genres, showing him extra tips and techniques to improve his skills. Overall my son has very much enjoyed every lesson with Mark. Highly recommended. 👍👍

Mark has worked with my daughter from age 6 to 14. He has been an excellent teacher and has been able to connect with her just as well with virtual lessons as in-person. He's supportive, and knowledgeable, and makes her lessons fun!
