Hi there! I am currently in my fourth year of a Bachelor of Music (Performance) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, on the Kim Walker bassoon scholarship. I have been studying bassoon for 11 years, originally starting while at Summer Hill Public School. I’m a member of the Australian Youth Orchestra, and have played principal bassoon with the Australian International Symphony Orchestra Institute. I teach from my home in Burwood, close to the Hume Highway. My focus in teaching is to have fun, develop an appreciation for making music, and to lay a strong technical groundwork.

I will not commence teaching in 2017 until Week 4 of Term 1 as I will be out of Sydney before then - this is the week after the training band introductory session. I am best contacted by email until then, but will be contactable by telephone from the 6th of February.

Please note: I do put students through AMEB exams when desired and appropriate, but I also believe in the importance of developing strong technical groundwork, and an enjoyment of music.
