Music Faculty

From the Co-ordinator of Music

I am excited to join the vibrant and dynamic Music team at Pittwater House. For the past seven years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Director of Performing Arts at Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School in the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. My studies at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music laid the foundation for my career, and I’ve been fortunate to maintain an active professional performance career alongside my teaching. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of being a guest conductor at the HICES Music Festivals, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with some incredibly talented musicians from Pittwater House.

We’ve kicked off 2025 with great enthusiasm, and there has been a fantastic level of interest in our co-curricular music ensembles. Rehearsals have already resumed this week, and it’s been wonderful to see so many students eager to get involved.

The ensemble schedule is available below and can also be found through the School’s App under the "Performing Arts" section. While parents can sign students up for specific ensembles, we encourage all students to attend rehearsals during the first three weeks of term, even if they are still deciding on which ensemble to join.

Core Ensembles vs Elective Ensembles

The ensembles at Pittwater House are broken into Core and Elective streams. The Core ensembles are designed to build technical and ensemble skills, whilst our elective ensembles are designed as an extension to provide students with a more specialised ensemble experience. The info graphic below further explains our ensemble structure.

I look forward to working with our talented musicians and continuing to nurture a love for music here at Pittwater House.

Registration for 2025 Ensemble Membership

The ensembles’ structure has had some minor changes in 2025 to allow for greater inclusion and engagement throughout the entire School. Information can be found on the Parent Orbit App.
