Mark Smith studied guitar and bass, both privately and at UCLA, for 18 years.  He is proficient in styles ranging from Classical & Jazz to Funk & Rock (and everything in between). 

He has toured internationally and recorded for/with Atlantic Records, BMG  RCA, Geffen, Capitol and Warner/Discovery.  He has even been a “PIT” musician for several outstanding musical productions.

Mark is a “Student’s Teacher”.  What does this mean?  His students “love to learn and learn to love music” from him.  He has been teaching Guitar and Bass for almost 15 years, and has been associated with Coast Band Music since 1995.  He teaches all styles and all levels (beginning through advanced).
