Jazz, R&B, and Contemporary Piano Lessons in Los Angeles

PRIVATE IN PERSON PIANO & MUSIC PRODUCTION LESSONS IN LOS ANGELES

You want to play with confidence and understand what you’re doing — not guess your way through songs.

Most lessons teach what to play. I teach you how to think. Music is pattern recognition. When you understand the relationships clearly, your decisions become intentional.

My role is to give you the tools to solve musical problems on your own. The goal is independence.

ABOUT

Marcus Anthony Mack About Photo

Made By Maam is built on one principle: clarity creates confidence. Music education often makes simple ideas feel complicated. In reality, music is structured relationships.

When structure becomes visible, the instrument stops feeling random. Instruction here is direct and analytical. The focus is not terminology. It is comprehension and application.

Students learn how to: break down unfamiliar music independently, analyze songs without outside assistance, improvise with intention, and continue progressing beyond weekly lessons. The objective is autonomy.

THE OBJECTIVE

THE INSTRUCTOR

Marcus Anthony Mack is a Berklee College of Music graduate in Film Scoring and a professional pianist, composer, and producer based in Los Angeles.

His background spans performance, composition, and studio production. His teaching emphasizes structured thinking, technical precision, and practical application.
