I have been playing the saxophone and flute for over 20 years in the Cairns area. I hold a Diploma of Music, a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, (TAE 40110), a current Blue Card, and have Music Teachers Public and Products liability insurance. I have studied saxophone and flute in Canada. I am currently employed part time at Kuranda State College, Peace Lutheran College in Cairns and Uptown Music Studio's in Atherton as their Instrumental Music teacher. I have tutored students in music theory under the ITAS (Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme) program at Central Queensland University. Currently I play with Cairns band "Cool Change". We perform frequently at the Cairns Jazz Club, at corporate functions, weddings and resorts. We have performed at Karnak, Yungaburra Folk Festival, Undara Country Rock and Blues Festival, Cairns Civic Theatre, the Casino, Cairns Convention Centre, Sheraton Mirage, Sea Temple, Sebel and The Angsana. I enjoy playing and teaching all styles of music, including Classical, Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk and Latin, and cater for students who want to play the saxophone, flute and clarinet as a hobby as well as those who wish to prepare for exams. I encourage students to develop performance skills. My philosophy is that learning music should be an enjoyable experience resulting in a sense of achievement for students, parents and teacher |
