Liam Whitbourn:

A passionate rehearsal pianist, accompanist, piano teacher and Italian tutor, Liam holds a Bachelor of Music (Performance) and a Diploma in Languages (Italian) from the University of Melbourne. His varied skill-sets in communication and performing have led to his involvement with many music organisations across Australia. In 2017, Liam was one of four nationally-selected candidates to be chosen for the Words About Music program with the Australian Youth Orchestra. In 2018 and 2019 he was engaged as a répétiteur with Savoy Opera Co. He has performed with the Victorian Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Preston Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Gang Show, Babirra Music Theatre, Crescendo Music Australia and the National Boys Choir of Australia, amongst others.  

Although training under the tutelage of Suzanne Wedding as a trumpet player during his BMus at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Liam continued his pianistic studies outside of the university with Alexandra Boemo. During this period Liam was awarded both the Isobel Prowse Travelling Scholarship and a Melbourne Global Scholars Award, which enabled him to undertake overseas study in Venice, Italy. Upon return to Melbourne, Liam began training with internationally-renowned répétiteur and collaborative pianist, David Barnard.

Currently Liam is undertaking a Master of Teaching (Secondary) at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, specialising in Music and Italian pedagogy. In addition to full-time tertiary study and various playing engagements, Liam is preparing repertoire for an AMusA Diploma in piano with the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB).

At RSC in 2014 I was Music Prefect and also won the Fiddes Family Shield and was involved in Senior Vocal Ensemble, Symphony, SSB, Symphonic and did Indonesian by distance ed with the VSL.
