Congratulattions to all my students who completed Piano Comprehensive or Piano for Leisure exams recently. Your results were an accurate assessment of your achievements this year, congratulations and I’m very proud of all of you!!!
Mark attended the MTA conference, “Music Teachers Matter” at Western Sydney University, last month. There were some great sessions, including working with neurodivergent students (Mark has experience in this, and is keen to further apply what he learned at the conference!), some cutting edge research on performance anxiety, and working with diverse learners. This was an excellent supplement to the biennial Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference (APPC), at which Mark is a regular! Consistent and ongoing professional development is a valuable asset for any teacher, but is particularly relevant to private music teachers where the peer interaction is always worthwhile.
Mark recently played for an old friend’s parents’ 60th anniversary celebration, including instrumentals from over 100 years of musical theatre, and accompanying an Opera Australia soloist, an Irish baritone, an 92 year old jazz trumpeter, and some impromptu singalongs from the very musical audience. The magic of music to bring generations together never grows cold…
