Whilst running MLC Leicester, Mark also managers MLC Loughborough and continues to teach at MLC Nottingham. He is regularly asked to teach and work alongside the HE Performance and Music Technology students at Confetti Institute of Creative Technologies.
Alistair REALLY enjoyed last week and would definitely be interested in other opportunities similar to this. He found the whole week a really fun, friendly and creative atmosphere.
Fantastic to be able to immerse himself in the things he loves the most and utilise the skills and ideas he has been developing over the year, as well as mixing with others, their ideas, developing new skills and knowledge.
Fantastic week, thank you for the opportunity.
