Discover A Music School That Will Change Your child's Life

SCHOOL OF MUSIC

Our focus is on providing Music Education.  From humble beginnings in 1972, this organization became a fully incorporated educational institution in 1994.

 
Our services include a myriad of activities for children wanting to make music an essential part of their lives.  

 
From training and preparing for concerts and competitions to earning internationally bench-marked awards, and singing as a chorus, to playing in an orchestra. 

 
Students also have many opportunities to build high-level leadership qualities to carry them forward in all areas of their lives.  

We do this by supporting the healthy development of a child's music education, including opportunities that provide sound educational pathways with the stimulus for life-long learning.   

DIRECTOR OF MUSIC 

Jack Harris began his career in music very early in life playing in various bands (brass, military, concert, stage and Jazz). He also played violin in various orchestras both here and overseas.

After a short stint in the Army Band (Melbourne) on clarinet as a young adult, he sought to focus on teaching. This avenue took him all over the world, Europe mostly, but also to the US, Canada, the UK, and Japan. Upon his return, he took up local appointments for a while before heading off, yet again. 

He has always been at home teaching at various universities, conducting orchestras, and giving lectures, etc. During his time away, he also took lessons and classes to earn his qualifications. He holds a PhD (Psych) DMus. Ed.D. as well as a host of performance awards from various music schools on various instruments.  

Since his retirement he has taken on the role of Music Director for the Australian Children’s Orchestra where he enjoys sharing his vast knowledge and experience with the kids. He is still available for private lessons on Violin and does this with his wife, Juthamas who holds a MMus. and who looks after those learning piano, violin, viola, or 'cello.  Over the last few years, many of the students of this orchestra have won scholarships to private colleges and universities as well as specialist music schools. 

Some of the highlights of Jack's career included taking conducting lessons with Herbert Von Karajan, meeting Yehudi Menuhin, and learning all about rehearsing techniques from Leonard Bernstein, and his favourite, Nikolaus Harnoncourt.
