S2 Episode 104 | Discussion with Online piano coach, best selling author Mark Deeks | Music , Mindset and Mental Wellbeing

“If music be the food of love, play on.” – William Shakespeare Today I am hosting Mark Deeks who is the best selling author of “NOT Another Piano Book: How Everything That Stopped You Playing Like a Piano Legend So Far… Shouldn’t!” He has spent more than 20 years working as a musical director, pianist, arranger and teacher, and has built a really diverse group of musicians as a client base. From artists such as Faye Tozer of Steps to black metal bands Winterfylleth (a band Mark ended up joining!) and Drudkh. He has given Lenny Henry piano lessons, and written versions of songs by metal stars Sonata Arctica for symphony orchestra and choir. Mark’s extensive work as a musical director has included everything from choirs for the BBC, Magic Radio, and his own Sing United, to music theatre shows such as West Side Story and The Sound of Music. He has conducted the Royal Northern Sinfonia and written string parts for Japanese post rock legends Mono. He has previous clients around the world including France, Canada, Finland and Holland, and has even co-written and toured a comedy musical with the BBC’s Alfie Joey Link to Mark's website : https://markdeeksmusic.com/who-is-mark-deeks/ Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PlayPianoIn30Seconds/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markdeeksmusic/ Resources shared during show: https://taplink.cc/markdeeksmusic Amazon link to Mark's book: https://amzn.to/3si4uU1 Enjoy Digital Dreamers !
