Bio
I’m a Melbourne-based freelance trumpeter from Auckland, currently in my final year at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM), studying under Yoram Levy and David Elton. In 2021 I completed my Bachelor of Music at the Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music (NZSM). I have eight years of experience teaching the trumpet, privately and in schools. I also have a WWCC.
In recent years, I’ve had many exciting musical experiences, such as performing as principal trumpet in the New Zealand National Youth Orchestra, and being a part of the Australian Youth Orchestra. Through ANAM I have also had the opportunity to play concerts with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Auckland Philharmonia. My musical interest and areas of expertise are diverse – I enjoy everything from orchestral and brass band music to jazz and pop.
If you’re in Melbourne and eager to explore (or return to) trumpet/cornet/flugelhorn playing, whether in classical or other genres, I’d love to help you on your musical journey!
