At this page, we feature a different teacher each month. Here is this month’s teacher:
Mark Gratton
Mark Gratton started taking piano lessons at the tender age of 5. By the age of 13, he began student teaching and played his first wedding. He picked up the violin at 12 and the viola at 15. During his teenage years, he won numerous piano competitions and served as first chair viola in the top orchestra in Richland District 2 in South Carolina. Just two days after graduating high school, he had the honor of playing with the same orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2001. By his senior year in high school, Mark was already teaching 12 students in piano, violin, and viola each week.
After high school, Mark had the pleasure of playing with the USC Symphony for a year. Now, he lives and teaches in the state of Delaware, where he has almost 30 students and is eager to take on as many as he can. Mark also looks forward to special performances, both online and in person. His ultimate goal is to change people’s lives for the better through music.
