 Sue graduated from Melbourne CAE in 1985 as a specialist woodwind and classroom music teacher.  Her major instrument is the recorder family, having studied with Greg Dikmans, Chris Burgess and Alan Murphy.  She also has studied clarinet and oboe to advanced levels.

Following graduation Sue taught secondary music, both classroom and instrumental, within the East Gippsland Music Centre, Victoria. After relocating to Coffs Harbour in NSW in 1992 she established the Northern Beaches Music Centre, specialising in upper woodwinds.  Students were involved in AMEB exams and the local eisteddfod with consistently excellent results. 

Since coming to Brisbane’s northside (Wavell Heights) in 1996 Sue has taught clarinet, recorders and oboe to students ranging in age from 7 to over 70!  Exam results continue to be excellent - testimony to Sue’s focus on beauty of sound and musicianship as well as correct instrumental technique. 

Sue is a dynamic, enthusiastic teacher who thoroughly enjoys the challenge of assisting students on their musical journey.  She can be contacted by phone or fax on 3266 3462, or by email at northerlywinds@optusnet.com.au
