Real Experience. Real Lessons. Real Music.
A grounded approach to playing and learning music - shaped by decades on stage and in the studio, backed by a degree in music education.
METHOD
Teach. Guide. Inspire.
I teach from experience — the kind that comes from years on stage, in the studio, and in the writing room. From earning a degree in music education to working with major labels and having songs placed in TV and film, I know what it takes to not just play music, but to create a life around it.
What I Teach
I focus on what I know deeply—what I’ve lived, practiced, and performed.
Guitar: from first chords to fine-tuning your style
Songwriting: structure, storytelling, and voice
Vocal Training: tone, control, and delivery
Stage Presence: connection, comfort, and performance skills
Music Theory: ear training, aural perception
Who It's For
You don’t need to be perfect—just ready to grow.
Adults picking music back up after a long break
Teens and kids with that creative spark
Musicians who want real, grounded feedback
Friends, fans, and fellow artists ready to go deeper
Whether it’s your first lesson or you’re ready to learn more —I’ll meet you where you are.

ABOUT
Hi, I’m Mark Zubia.
After 35+ years of performing, writing, recording, learning, and touring, I want to share what I’ve learned — and meet you wherever you are on your musical journey.
Along the way, I earned a BA in Music Education, signed songwriting and recording contracts with EMI Publishing and Hollywood Records, and released several albums and EPs. These days, my publisher Fervor Records continues to place my songs in TV and film.
Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time, working on your own songs, or just wanting to play music you love — I’m game.
This is about having fun, building your skills, growing your confidence, and adding to your repertoire. We’ll worry about perfection later.
