Irvine Guitar Lessons
 Instructor Mark Hamrock graduated Magna cum Laude with a Music degree in classical guitar from the University of California, Irvine. Mark also studied music with guitar great Rusty Anderson (guitarist for Paul McCartney for 25 years) and Alan Rowe (Stan Kenton Orchestra). Mark toured and performed with Larry Carlton (Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Michael Jackson), Karl Denson (sax player for the Rolling Stones), Tim Reynolds (Dave Matthews Band), and Traffic, among others.

Mark states “Irvine has a lot of international families that value music education and push the kids to play a musical instrument. This is really a great thing because it teaches discipline, goal setting, and improves your math skills. At least I believe so. I’ve played a musical instrument since I can remember and math was not my strongest subject as a child but I believe that studying music theory really helped me to recognize patterns and ultimately a higher logic. The thing I’ve always loved about music is that it is truly a whole brain experience. It helps you develop as an artist and exercises the left side of the brain.”

A lot of scientific studies in neurobiology agree with Mark and conclude there is a lot of evidence to support that music education, in particular at an early age, does help people improve their math skills. And it’s fun! If you are looking for Irvine guitar lessons, contact Mark today!
