MARK DAVIES
Professional Actor, Writer
and Musician
I have been taken piano lessons weekly with Tim Lukas for a several years, and have been very pleased with this experience. Starting with scales, chord training, sight reading, and other exercises, I am now able to compose and play my own music on the piano, far sooner than I would have thought possible. I have pitched these works to music libraries as background music for Film and TV, and recently was offered an exclusive contract by a subsidiary of Universal Music. My music and songs have been very well arranged, performed, and recorded at Blink Music. I am very pleased with the progress I have made in a short time with Functional Piano lessons, and would recommend Tim Lukas most highly as a teacher and producer.
