MARK HODGSON
Musician Arranger Educator
About
Hello my name is Mark Hodgson and welcome to my website. This is not a commercial platform but simply a showcase and cross-section of my musical life. A snapshot. I hail from the West Riding of Yorkshire England but now reside on the island of Bali.
My life’s musical journey has literally taken me all over the world. I think it is fair to say I am a well-seasoned professional pianist, trumpeter and arranger.
Although essentially a jazz musician at heart, I have worked across the whole spectrum of the music industry, performing, directing, recording, scoring and educating. Throughout my career I have enjoyed scoring and composing music in many genres, and when ever possible incorporating my writing into teaching and performing
Perfomance
My earliest experiences with music were through my fathers encouragement, a drummer/percussionist of the most exacting standards.
Teaching
Over the past 35 years I have been fortunate enough to have been able to teach in a wide range of
educational situations.
Composing and Arranging
As I mentioned from my earliest musical ‘doodling’ at the piano, my explorations into melody, harmony and rhythm took me into many directions, sometimes far away from my original core.
