What is it that you love about teaching music – particularly at Wollongong Conservatorium?
I love the moment a student understands something they’ve been struggling with a piece or with the instrument, and everything else just falls into place. WollCon has so many like-minded tutors and professionals outside my own instrumental expertise that all have unique experiences to share with the next generation of musicians.
Please share a particular career highlight and why it’s special to you.
Performing Sibelius Symphony No.2 with Canberra Symphony Orchestra. Sitting up the back of the orchestra behind the woodwind section with a mix of old colleagues and people I look up to, playing a symphony I love.
What’s one piece of music that you’d recommend people listen to?
The Wolf Mov. II – Tan Dun.
