“After finishing Marc’s course, I am reinvigorated to continue my process of learning how best to present my curriculum in culturally responsible and responsive ways, and to celebrate and highlight the contribution of black musicians and artist to world music.“

Music Teacher; Frankfurt International School; Germany
I have been blessed to experience Marc as Mr. Diaz, Music Minister, Dad, Husband, solo artist, group artist, executive producer, community leader, piano teacher and church leader. In his classroom, he nurtures the young minds in his care no differently than his own two children — demanding their best creative brilliance and utmost respect for one another. Marc draws upon and models musical technique from every corner of the globe, spanning from classical to gospel in a beautiful tapestry of expression that invites everyone to play — and play hard. His standard is high, his falsetto is higher, but it his love for service through music that is highest of all.
Whether he is leading your choir, your children, your teachers, or your music business, I promise Marc will draw out the highest level of excellence within you for the world to experience.
