Sue Haylock

Introducing Ms Haylock 

Growing up in a musical family determined a career path for playing and performing music.

Originally learning classical guitar from the age of 8, Sue Haylock’s love of rhythm, directed her towards the excitement of playing instruments of the percussion section. Having a father as a professional trumpet player exposed her to jazz and big band music from an early age.

Sue is a graduate of the VCA and Melbourne Uni, majoring in orchestral percussion. She has performed in a wide variety of musical settings, including musical theatre pit shows, marching bands, jazz festivals, concert bands & orchestras. An original member of Melbourne’s Itchy Feet Pep Band, Sue enjoys teaching the art of ‘hitting things in time’ to her many students. 

Apart from teaching percussion, drumkit, guitar and bass at secondary schools, her current projects include The Melba Big Band, Radiant Penguin and Astor Swing Jazz Band.
