Meet the Host, Declan Cosgrove
Declan is a Manchester born musician who spent 10 years struggling with traditional music lessons, until he discovered a new way to play songs on piano, used by Paul McCartney, which doesn’t involve ‘reading music’. Fuelled by a desire to make piano more accessible for others, he spent several years translating this method into a language absolute beginners can instantly understand and developing extra techniques to make piano easily accessible for older students. This new DecPlay method is so effective, it has been awarded a patent. Declan has now helped thousands of students learn piano, from beginners to Oscar winning musicians and has been featured on BBC.
