Meet Mark Alger
Over 40 years of teaching experience, blending university-level guitar mastery with warmth, patience, and good humor.
Inspiring Young Musicians in Utah County Since 2000
Mark Alger began teaching guitar in 1985. In 2000, he moved to Orem, Utah and took over direction of the Wasatch School of Music—a private classical guitar studio.
At that time, Mark began specializing in teaching children classical guitar using the Suzuki Method. Since then, hundreds of children have enjoyed music lessons with Mark and developed solid skill and technique.
In 2014, The Wasatch School of Music was renamed Wasatch Classical Guitar to more accurately reflect the studio's focus. Mark's excellent sense of humor makes music lessons with him very entertaining. Come join the fun!
