This term we farewell two instrumental music teachers from our roster. Ella Luhtasaari (piano) and Tom Fell (saxophone) have been exceptional mentors for our students.
Ella commenced at Marist College in 2018 teaching piano while Lovey Wong was on leave, and has stayed on since then. She is commencing PhD studies in psychology to investigate the reasons for students leaving music learning and the influence of parents in this decision-making.
Tom commenced at Marist College in 2019 teaching saxophone. Tom has been a part of our ever-growing band program, guiding a number of students right through to Year 12. Tom is consolidating his teaching studio at Canberra Grammar School.
We welcome Aria-award winning performer and composer, Sally Whitwell, to our teaching faculty and also as collaborative pianist with our Song Club. We will also welcome graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium, Danny Junor, who will be teaching saxophone.
