Principal Piccolo - @westaustraliansymphony | Flute lecturer - @uwaconservatoriumofmusic
In my 20th year of being the Malaysian Philharmonic's Piccolo player in Kuala Lumpur, I love to perform, teach, communicate and collaborate with my trademark enthusiasm! I look forward to sharing these loves with you all and meeting many wonderful people here on my page.

A piccolo player’s dream program ! The extreme twittery highs of ROASINI’s Semiramide overture - followed by the Luscious 2nd flute lows in DVORAK’s 9th symphony.

2025 education wrap‑up: 11 masterclasses, around 250 attendees and 80 participants across UWA in Perth, plus Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Focusing on piccolo, body awareness and winning auditions has been a highlight of my year, and it’s a privilege to support the next generation of players and teachers.

What a buzz to share the piccolo love at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University - where I earned my degree (and medal 🥇) back in ‘93!
We had four wonderful performers in our open class which was tailor-made to cover the questions 🤔 I received from registrants via my google form survey sent out prior to the class
It was delightful to be able to reach such a cross section of the Queensland flute community - teachers, performers, students of all ages from different schools and universities, and even a teacher who flew down from Mackay for the day too !
🙏🏻 Thanks Timothy Munro for making this happen. Thanks to our collaborative pianist Mattea Page. Thanks Josh and Connor for your tech help making sure my slide deck was projected perfectly! Thanks Sean OBoyle for your delightful composition “Sonia’s Dance”, which I performed and you gifted to all present 🎁 Thanks and bravo to Laura Skorzewski, Amy Tashjian, Nathan Smith, Keisha Klaslo

🩰 one night of Nutcracker to round off my Brisbane Trip 🔔 🎄 with the lovely Queensland Symphony Orchestra flutes - Alison Mitchell and fellow guest Braden Simm - also home during his end of year break from Australian National Academy of Music (Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM))

in concert with Queensland Symphony Orchestra- my first of four different festive 🌲 programs this month.
I think playing the piccolo scared Kevin more than the intruders !!!!
