Perth Cathedral hosts music teaching sessions

SAINT Mary’s Cathedral is holding an afternoon of Community Singing on 25 June from 2-4pm, including singing and socialising for all ages and levels of singers.
Some of the segments will include Popular Classics, Contemporary Corner, Children’s Corner, Magical Mozart and Golden Oldy tunes. 
Special emphasis will be given to fun and educational vocal exercises.
In addition to the Cathedral’s Director of Music, 19 year old UWA student Lochlan Brown will be co-presenter for the Community Singing.
Lochlan is a lay clerk member of the Cathedral Choir and does extra coaching sessions and assistant conducting at the Cathedral.
He is currently studying for the combined Bachelor of Engineering and Music degree (majoring in Composition).

He also plays the piano, trumpet and organ and accompanies vocal students at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts in addition to his work with numerous school and community choirs around Perth. He is a recipient of the St Augustine RSCM award.
Lochlan has won a number of awards as a pianist.
He hopes to study piano accompaniment and conducting at post-graduate level and specialise as a vocal répétiteur.
