Jazz Melbourne Success

Congratulations to Charlie Rolfe (Year 10) who successfully auditioned for a place in the prestigious 2021 Jazz Melbourne Youth Band Program.

Charlie will be involved in this year long initiative that brings together students from across Victoria and focuses on promoting jazz education within Australia.

Charlie had to negotiate a blind audition process to be considered for this placement, and his success will see him perform piano in the youth band.  

Only the most proficient musicians earn a place in the Youth Band Program, and working alongside his peers Charlie will continue to develop and extend his already marked talent - as well as enjoy many opportunities to perform with them throughout the year. 

Well done Charlie - you have earned this recognition due to effort, persistence and commitment to excellence in your music studies!
