Maxwell James Earns Place at Queensland Conservatorium

We are thrilled to announce that Maxwell James, a talented Year 12 student, has successfully gained entry into the prestigious Bachelor of Music program at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Griffith University.

Maxwell’s acceptance into the Jazz Guitar stream is a remarkable achievement, given the highly competitive nature of the audition process and the popularity of the course. To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to enjoy a video of Maxwell performing Nardis, composed by Miles Davis. 

Congratulations Max! We can’t wait to see where your musical journey takes you next.
