welcome to ivc!
I’m Mark Bacino, singer-songwriter, producer, music journalist and educator based in New York City.
Lessons
Through IVC I offer songwriting lessons as well as production lessons, both via Zoom. The two programs are sourced from my 30+ years writing-producing songs and writing about songs for such publications as Guitar World, SonicScoop and Songwriter’s Market.
Weekly, half-hour lessons are priced at $40. Beginner to advanced welcome. If you’d like to look over the songwriting course outline, please click “curriculum” below. To learn more about the production lessons, please contact me, below.
If you have any questions regarding the lessons or would like to book your first session, please
