Bio
I have a few availabilities open for term 4 for instrumental tuition in saxophone and flute tuition as well as Jazz and contemporary music knowledge/ applications.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Jazz Improvisation at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under a full scholarship. I am also a current working professional, having worked with many nationally and internationally acclaimed artists including ” Harry Connick Jr”. This year I was selected as a member of the 2024 Australian National Jazz Orchestra, an opportunity that brings together Australia’s best young jazz musicians aged 18 – 25. Entry to the orchestra is through competitive auditions held annually using an anonymous ‘blindfold system’.
I received the top ranking, first in course in music at Killara High School in three consecutive years including (2020) for Music 2, and Music Extension. Furthermore, I received an encore nomination for my HSC practical examination for outstanding performances in the Music 2 and extension course. I also teach HSC music 1 and 2, in composition ( Jazz and Contemporary), performance and musicology.
I offer saxophone lessons in the northern suburbs (Sydney), as well as offering online lessons to those restricted due to COVID or travel complications.
