Testimonials
“My son Alex’s interest in music was spurred on by Mark’s enthusiasm and style of teaching. The Music Workshop conducts annual performances for parents and friends so we can see the progress our children have made. My son is now in college and still studies with Mark on breaks and in the summer. Alex belongs to The Jazz Band at Loyola University as well as his own band. He has played professionally for cocktail hours and theater productions. Mark has inspired Alex to continue his music into his adulthood. Mark Weisman is an exemplary teacher and person.”

About Mark
I started the Piano Workshop at Chester to give students a fun, creative learning experience that they would actually look forward to each week.
When I was twelve, I convinced my parents to let me quit taking piano lessons! It wasn’t until I was in college, majoring in music - but not the piano - that I actually fell back in love with the instrument. When I finally did, it was because I found a teacher that understood not only my learning style, but also how to teach me what I really wanted to learn. That was something that none of my childhood instructors had a clue how to teach. Now, thirty years later I am using his philosophies as well as those of six or seven other mentors of mine who are some of the best known musicians in the industry.
