edit data

Marcus Holmes is a classically trained musician and often draws from his experience in musicianship when writing. An M.A. in education and decades of experience teaching has informed the composition of his How-To resources. He resides in the U.S. with his tabby cat Solace, who refuses to take dictation and is a terrible speller anyway.
