Long time student and I still always learn something new from Mark. Amazing teacher who accommodates any style and helps you learn what you want.

Mark is an excellent teacher. He tailors his teaching to your learning style, interests and schedule, no matter your age and proficiency (I am an adult beginner). He is very patient and has a great sense of humor. He builds your skill on a foundation of music theory even as he encourages you in learning to perform the music you like.

I am going into my 3rd year of Mr. Black's class and it has been and still is an awesome experience. I haven't experienced this much excitement about learning anything in a long time. I've dreamed of playing Jazz Guitar for ages and I've just played "Autumn Leaves", a jazz standard, at one of Mark's recitals. That feeling of accomplishment in that moment was magical.

I couldn't have dreamed of a better instructor as Mark Black. Please don't miss out on the opportunity of a life time by not taking Mark up on his offer. It will be well worth your time and money as an investment learning how to play and creat sonic art. Mark is the best music instructor I've met.

I have been taking guitar lessons with Promethean Studios for the better part of two years now and I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I've made. After having taken piano lessons since childhood from poor instructors, I was a bit skeptical of starting up again with a new instrument, however Mark is always patient, insightful, and tolerable of my millions of questions during lessons. lol. I highly recommend him if you're looking to learn music in the DFW area.

I have been taking lessons with Mark for years. I am continuing to grow as a musician and a worship leader. Mark has extensive knowledge of almost every instrument as well as voice. He is someone I trust and would highly recommend to musicians of all levels.

Mark is an amazing piano instructor. He first learns about your personality, learning style, and any prior musical knowledge one may have. Then tailors a lesson plan based off of the information given. His lessons are laid back, enjoyable, and easy to follow. And he will often stop to make sure that the topic discussed is understood. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend him for piano lessons. A+++

My 8 year old son has been taking guitar lessons for over a year and he loves it. He gets to choose what songs he learns, alongside proper music theory and practical skills for improvisation, technique, and ear training. Mr. Black provides the right balance of serious study and fun play.

Mr. Mark Black is an amazing voice and guitar coach/ instructor. My daughter has been learning from him since 2014 and enjoys his style of teaching. His passion for music, performance and teaching so many different instruments and vocal genres makes him stand apart from other studios. I highly recommend Promethean studios to anyone interested in music- beginner or professional. You will learn and grow. Mr. Mark is very professional; his sense of humor is equally appreciated by my daughter.

I have taken voice lessons from Mark Black for ten years. During that time I went on and off between learning about other instruments as well, specifically piano and guitar. Mark is one of the most talented people I have ever met. Not only is he a phenomenal musician (it seems like he is talented at every single thing you can be talented in when it comes to music) but he is also an awesome person.

He cares about all of his students well being. He not only wants to make a musical difference in a person's life, but also a personal one. He has challenged me to grow musically and encouraged me not to quit even when I really wanted to. I am now pursuing a career in music and I have no doubt he has had a positive influence in my life. I could go on and on about him for days, but I encourage you to find this out on your own and TAKE LESSONS FROM THIS STUDIO. Mark Black and the rest of his staff are fantastic and you will not be disappointed.

I have been a member of the rock and jazz bands with Promethean Studios for several years. Mark Black is an excellent instructor and mentor for the bands, offering suggestions on what and how to play, encouraging students and band members to participate and to make suggestions for the approach to the song. He makes the sessions enjoyable and fun while guiding the students to be better players and band members. If you are looking to join a band, or simply would like to improve your playing skills or even learn a new instrument, I highly recommend Promethean Studios.
