Internationally Acclaimed Mark Hayes
NFMC President Michael Edwards
In addition to his involvement in the sacred and secular choral music fields, Hayes is an accomplished orchestrator and record producer. The album, I've Just Seen Jesus, which Mark arranged, orchestrated and co-produced, received the Dove Award for Praise and Worship Album of the Year in 1986. In June 2010 Mark released his first CD of original songs titled All Is Well, featuring Kansas City jazz artist, Monique Danielle.
Whether concertizing on the other side of the globe or composing at his home in Kansas City, Missouri, Mark is blessed to live out his mission "to create beautiful music for the world".
Keyboard Reading Session: Mark Hayes presents his newest and best selling piano collections. Here’s a chance to hear him play the arrangements you may have played and ask him questions about any of the pieces. He will share performance technique tips.
Keyboard Improvisation: If you only read music, this workshop is for you! Learn how to embellish what’s already on the page, play simple harmonic patterns to provide background music and modulate from any key to any key.
What is Musical Health?
We know about physical and emotional health, but what about musical health? Come learn from a board-certified music therapist how staying connected to your musical self will help you stay healthy in your body, mind, and spirit. You'll hear how music therapy works in clinical settings, and you'll walk away with tips for improving and maintaining your own health through music.

Music Preparation for Film: "How the Sausage is Made"
The Process from the Beginning to the Big Screen (and a Little History)
"How the Sausage Is Made" is a brief presentation of how music is prepared for the movies and television and the many different jobs and steps required to complete the process. The presentation also includes a brief history of preparing music for film and how the process has changed with the introduction of the digital age.
David Izzard was born in Kansas City and graduated from the UMKC Conservatory of Music in 1964 with a Bachelor of Music degree in Theory and Composition. In 1970, he founded and ran a business as music producer/composer for radio and TV commercials, jingles and industrial films. A partial list of the products composed and produced include: KMBR-FM ID Package, Guy’s Potato Chips, Safeway Food Stores, Orkin Pest Control, Crown Center Hotel, Kansas City Star, K.C. Chevy Dealers.
In 1979, he became a Music Copyist in Los Angeles, California. A sample of some of the 300+ projects he worked on: Apollo Thirteen, Cocoon, A League of Their Own, Titanic, Academy Awards TV Show (16 years), Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Star Trek (movie and TV), Murder She Wrote, JAG, Deep Space Nine. Izzard worked for Frank Zappa preparing the music for Zappa’s London sessions. He also worked as a copyist for Jo Ann Kane Music Service, 20th Century-Fox, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, and Sony among others. Some of the composers for whom he prepared music include John Williams, David Newman, James Horner, Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman.
In 2006, he retired and returned home to Kansas City. He continues to compose and arrange music. “Now, I get to write what I want to and not what the ‘man’ wants me to,” he said.
