Summary
I am currently studying violin in Melbourne with Sarah Curro with the aim of pursuing a career of playing professionally as well as teaching violin. I have spent the last 12 months working towards this goal by observing violin lessons with a Geelong based teacher as well as taking on my own students. My educational goal for this year is to pursue my Associate Diploma in Music (violin performance) under the tuition of Sarah Curro.
As a performer, I am the current Concertmaster of Orchestra Geelong, a violinist in Geelong Symphony Orchestra (GSO), and have recently started a string trio with a cellist and violist from GSO.
I also made my solo debut last year playing Beethoven's Romance in F major with Orchestra Geelong and will be performing as a soloist in 2024 playing select movements from Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto.
