ENSEMBLES AND COLLABORATIONS
Sharing the stage with talented musicians in school and beyond.
Playing in ensembles has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my musical journey. Being part of a group, contributing my sound, and creating something powerful with other musicians is an experience that drives my passion. I’m currently a member of several school ensembles, where I’ve had the chance to develop my teamwork, timing, and performance skills. These ensembles include:
-
Symphony Orchestra
-
Symphonic Band
-
Senior Stage Band
-
Low Brass Choir
-
Choir
Beyond school, I’ve been privileged to perform with community brass bands. As a former member of the Willoughby Brass Band, I played at citizenship ceremonies and Christmas concerts and had the honour of contributing to our victory at the 2023 National Championships in the C grade division.
I’m now a proud member of the Holroyd Brass Band, an A-grade band based in Sydney. As second chair Euphonium, I continue to learn and grow through each performance.
I was also fortunate to perform as a guest musician with the Sydney Youth Orchestra through two performances in 2024 and as a permanent member of the Sydney Wind Orchestra in 2025, experiences that have deepened my appreciation for orchestral works and challenged me to bring my best to each performance. Each ensemble has shaped my growth, inspiring me to pursue excellence and learn from my fellow musicians.
EXCELLENCE IN MUSIC
Showcasing my progress and dedication through structured assessments.
My journey in music is reflected in the grades and feedback I’ve received from instructors and examiners. I consistently strive to achieve high marks in my music courses, pushing myself to refine my technique, tone, and musicality. Each piece I perform is a building block in my growth as a musician, and I am proud to share the progress I’ve made through hard work and persistence.

MY MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS
A collection of pieces that resonate with my style and passon.
These are some of my favourite pieces that I’ve enjoyed performing, each chosen for its unique challenge and expressive potential. These selections showcase my range and dedication to exploring different genres, from classical to contemporary works. I bring my own voice to each performance, aiming to communicate the piece’s story in my own way.

"Carnival of Venice" – Jean-Baptiste Arban
"Harlequin" – Philip Sparke
"Devil's Waltz" – Steven Verhelst
"With His First Breath" – Paul Lovatt-Cooper

In addition to these published pieces, I also enjoy transcribing popular music and perform some of these via my social media accounts.
