What a wonderful student concert we all just witnessed! My cornet and trumpet students, many whom are working towards exams, performed so well for their families and friends. Thanks to all who came along to support our young people. LT
AYO Autumn Music Camp
I had the great honour of tutoring five wonderful young trumpet players throughout the Easter break. Tertiary students from across the country flocked to the stunning facilities at Melbourne University’s Ian Potter Southbank Centre: the new home of the Music Conservatorium.

Stuck Inside? Online Brass Lessons Available
It’s an unbelievable time right now. Many of us are confined by four walls, trying not to go a bit mad. If you’re looking for something positive and fun to do, take your old brass instrument out from under the bed, grease the slides, oil the valves and send me a message to get started. We’ll have an online lesson! No need to be intimidated by the idea… we all need to work on something. Whatever level you’re at, I will provide easy-to-understand strategies to improve your playing, and expand your understanding of music. I will also provide pdf’s to go through. No fancy technology needed, you just need: A device (laptop/ ipad) with a web camera, an internal microphone, and a good internet connection.
30 minutes = $40 | 45 minutes = $50
