Mark Gubler not only has a gift, he is a gift. One that Utah is lucky to have. His musical journey began in St. George, Utah at the young age of 3. His early studies were mentored by the loving Charnell Manson who until his early teenage years brought out the love he had for music. At age 13 his talent and outstanding musicianship became manifest as he studied with Dr. Lynn Dean of St. George. Under Dean's mentorship he began to see his true potential and the difference he could make as he strived to achieve it. He won many awards during his teenage years, including the honor of performing in the Roy L. Halversen Young Artist Concert with the "Orchestra of Southern Utah" (2006), and stole the show in the "South West Symphony’s" Salute to Youth (2007). Mark took leave from his piano studies to serve a 2 year mission for the LDS church in Toronto, Canada where he continued to serve those around him in many more ways than just music. Mark is currently a Piano Performance Major at Utah State University and has the honor of studying with world renowned piano pedagogue, Professor Gary Amano. Mark has been Utah State's "Most Promising Pianist" for the past 6 years of study and has been working hard toward a Doctorate degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy. Above all else though, is his desire to reach his full potential.
