A second concert was held in September 2024, with a particular emphasis on those students presenting for exams in late 2024. As always, thanks go to all performers together with their family and friends for a great afternoon of music making.
The latest Studio Concert was held on Sunday 17 March 2024. All students participated, and performed particularly well. Typically each student performs two pieces, with additional works from those preparing for exams. We hope to have a Spring concert later in 2024, and are aiming at two studio concerts per year commencing in 2025.
From 8/7-12/7, Mark attended the 16th and his 3rd Australasian Piano Pedagogy Conference, at Monash University in Melbourne. The conference was an outstanding mix of recitals (including Piers Lane, APPC Patron, and Konstantin Shamray, Winner Sydney International Piano Competition and Senior Lecturer in Piano at Monash), master classes, workshops, and both academic and practical presentations. Mark was at some 21 sessions, and came back with a host of ideas to implement over coming months with his students.
