Simply Music is a revolutionary, Australian-developed piano learning method that offers a breakthrough in music education. This remarkable approach has students of all ages playing great-sounding contemporary, classical, gospel, blues and accompaniment pieces — immediately — from their very first lessons.

A pianist/keyboardist/composer with credits in NYC and on national TV and honors from national songwriting competitions, Mark S. Meritt is New York State’s first and so-far only Accredited Simply Music Teacher.

With shared and private lessons as well as short-term beginner piano workshops available through Mark’s Potluck Creative Arts studio in the Village of Red Hook, NY, this is a unique opportunity for area residents to learn how to play piano with this extraordinary method.

And if you are unable to take lessons in person from Mark or any other Simply Music teacher, now you can study with Mark from locations around the world with live online piano lessons in your own home.
