I am thrilled to share my latest publication - this time with Frontiers in Cognition. This article considers the real-world application of music performance. I position dual processing in cognition as a basis for operating in “two time zones” when reading from music notation.
I’m pleased to share this open-access article on balancing the intertwined identities of educator, researcher, and artist. Writing it was a valuable opportunity to reflect on the many hats we wear as we navigate the demands of teaching, creative practice, and scholarly contribution. It allowed me to articulate how these roles intersect, support one another, and shape the way we serve our students, our disciplines, and our own artistic growth. https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15/12/1630 @mdpiopenaccess
Ghosts Australia premieres tonight on Channel 10 at 8:30pm. Then moves over to Paramount Plus. Music composed by Jed Palmer and clarinetting by yours truly! Such a fun project.❤️ Can’t wait to watch it - the British version was hilarious.
It is with great pleasure that I share that I have been appointed Director of Music at Scotch College Melbourne from 2026. To say that I am honoured and humbled by this opportunity is an understatement of the highest order. I am profoundly indebted to the inimitable John Ferguson, whose visionary leadership has cultivated a remarkable culture of musical and educational excellence at Scotch. His legacy will continue to inspire and resonate throughout the community for many years to come!
Happy heavenly 70th birthday, Mum. You’re missed every single day. May you be up there, still coordinating your outfits with caravans.
The national conference for the @asmemusiced Australian Society for Music Education (ASME) in sunny Brisbane came to a close yesterday after a superb three days of knowledge sharing. Truly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much, to meet fabulous people, and to catch up with brilliant colleagues and friends.
