Mark Lansom
Hello, I’m Mark Lansom, by day a violin teacher and the rest of the time a happy husband and father of two. And the rest of the time a gigging violinist/violist, conductor, composer and arranger. I’m now Head of Strings at the King’s School, Chester, but still open to fit any interesting project in. I have plenty of arrangements for sale at Sheet Music Plus, you can find out more in the Composing/Arranging tab or click here.
I hope you enjoy finding out more about what I've done and can do, and if you think I'm the person that can help your project I'll do my best to help you achieve.
