Theodore Libby, critic of the New York Times: ...an overwhelming talent... a rare combination of virtuosity and profundity... the cumulative effect was simply transcendental.
In the 5 years before covid I sent no less than 7 students to graduate and undergraduate degrees at top universities with full ride scholarships ranging from $40,000 to $183,000

Comments from Westcott's portland piano students
I only wish I could’ve met him years ago.
Mark is a phenomenal pianist and a teacher.
...Most clear, and most informed.
Not only was Mark a world-class pianist, but he is a dedicated and caring teacher.
My friends and other musicians are amazed at the progress I've made thus far.
He makes even his youngest students sound like budding professionals.
