ABOUT ME

Born and raised on Brisbane's southside, Monash discovered his passion for music at age 10 when he first picked up the flute. Nurtured by a supportive music teacher and a vibrant school music program, he expanded his repertoire to include saxophone, guitar, and bass guitar before graduating high school.

Monash pursued his musical calling at the Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University, earning a Bachelor of Music in Performance. Over four transformative years, he honed his skills in performance, composition, conducting, and creative music-making under the guidance of first-class mentors and industry professionals. He later completed a Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary) from The University of Queensland.

During his studies, Monash worked as an instrumental music tutor for woodwind and guitar students while actively performing throughout Greater Brisbane. He was a dedicated member of the Brisbane Regional Youth Orchestra, performing with the Symphony Orchestra (flute/piccolo) and Jazz Ensemble (electric bass), and serving as a trainee conductor.

Since completing his tertiary education, Monash has taught and performed across Central Queensland and South-East Queensland in diverse roles including Classroom Music Teacher, Instrumental Music Teacher, Woodwind Specialist, and Coordinator of Bands. As a professional musician, he remains active as a multi-instrumentalist performing on reeds and guitars across various genres.
