🎹 SPEAKER I'm a professional speaker, educator and musician, that speaks passionately about fostering creativity and harnessing the power of music to improve attendance, engagement, performance and mental health. I use everything from live piano to heavy metal. Often at the same time! I'm in 2 signed metal bands, and over the last 25 years I have worked as a Musical Director with the Royal Northern Sinfonia, alongside Gareth Malone and for projects with Disneyland Paris and Faye Tozer of Steps. As an educator and online piano teaching specialist I have helped thousands of students harness their musicality, reduce their stress and improve their mental health. I've drawn on the breadth of my experience to design and lead singing and piano workshops for BBC Radio and the NHS, and have performed for organisations as varied as Opera North and a range of heavy metal bands. In my TedX talk I spoke about my own experience of using heavy metal music to enhance my own mental health in what was “the stand out talk of the whole day.” Signature Topics: - Music - Wellbeing and Mental Health - Creativity - Community - Teamwork "It was beyond outstanding. There was barely a dry eye in the audience, and it was the best talk of the day for me." CHRIS COOK Double Olympian, two times Commonwealth Gold Medallist, Motivational Speaker and Coach 🎹 TEACHER After years of thinking you'll never play piano, imagine not only being able to start quickly but doing it in a way designed to reduce stress. ❗Do you say things like “I’m too old” or “I don’t have time”? ❗What about "I wish I could just sit down and play" ❗Perhaps you tried to play as a child, then life got in the way and you’ve spent years thinking it will never happen for you? I specialise in helping people like you to unwind by playing songs you love, easier than you ever imagined. I'm on a mission to help one million people feel better - and piano is my weapon of choice! I've even had clients say they SLEEP better after just a week of working with me. Options include one to one or group learning with support. Or alternatively learn to write your own music. However you want to use music to bring you some joy, let's chat. 📩 [email protected] ✳️ ”I struggled to know where to start - then I discovered Mark and everything changed!"
