2003 Australian Welsh Male Choir
|
Australian born and
educated, but with a Scots/Irish background, Anne graduated in Music
from the University of Melbourne, later obtaining her Masters degree
in Education from Monash University. She intends this year to finally
complete the PhD on which she seems to have been working in fits
and starts, for ever!
Anne has taught extensively in Government secondary colleges, having
held senior Music positions in several colleges, notably at Ringwood
Secondary College for some seventeen years. She has also held a
variety of senior administrative positions in secondary colleges.
Anne retired from secondary teaching on her appointment as Musical
Director of the Australian Welsh Male Choir, but as she missed working
with young people, returned to teaching as a part-time Music specialist,
this time in a primary school. She can claim to have taught at every
level from Prep. to VCE. She has now retired from teaching - again!
She has been actively involved for many years in the direction
of adult, community choirs, including the Yarra Valley Singers,
the Yallourn Madrigal Singers and the Latrobe Chorale (Gippsland).
Anne was fortunate in having received tuition in conducting from
the late Robert Rosen, and has directed and conducted choral and
orchestral performances of works such as “Gloria” by
Vivaldi, “Messiah” by Handel and the “Requiem”
by Fauré. She is a member of the Committee of ACCET (Australian
Choral Conductors Education and Training), and a member of the examining
panel (pianoforte and singing) for Victoria, of ANZCA (Australian
and New Zealand Cultural Arts Ltd.) On an entirely different note,
she has recently been appointed a Justice of the Peace for Victoria!
Her role as Musical Director of the AWMC opened up new challenges
for Anne – controlling an all male choir (not too difficult)
and learning the Welsh language (still working on that one!)
