Nigel Wears, Piano

“I grew up in a Salvation Army family and playing and singing was a normal activity for all the family to do. I was taught piano by my Father until leaving home to study at Leeds College of Music. After college I embarked on a career of playing in restaurants and hotels until I was spotted by a local primary school. My school choir sang with numerous stars including the band of HM Royal Marines, Chas and Dave and Vince Hill. I was the conductor of Leeds Male Voice Choir for many years. My Mother has dementia and I have undergone some training with the Alzheimer’s Society to learn more about the condition. Music has immense power to bring memories to the surface and during my sessions I am seeking the most positive responses possible from every participant.”
