Author Biography
Mark Hansen B.E. (Hons), Grad. Dip.Ed., is not only an award winning Australian pianist and composer, but has over 30 years experience in education. He has tutored students one-to-one, as well as in large groups in the classroom. Mark also spent many years working in Australia's Technical and Further Education System (TAFE), and was voted best teacher by students at Crows Nest TAFE College in 1991. For more than 3 years he wrote distance education materials for TAFE's Open Training and Education Network (OTEN) as well as developing curricula, and overseeing its production and publication. The idea for the Piano Chord Ruler came to him in a moment of inspiration after years of explaining chords to pupils. He wanted something students could take away with them from class, and use to help them find and remember chord patterns on the piano. Mark has also taught guitar and knows the power of memorising chord patterns and simple strumming techniques. It is possible to have a student of guitar playing 3 chords and a number of songs in the first lesson. He wanted to apply that same sort of speed of learning to piano, so students could enjoy playing after a few hours and not several months.
