Carillon debut

During 2023 I have been learning to play the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon. My teacher is Lyn Fuller AM, President of the Carillon Society of Australia. On Saturday 4th November, Lyn, Katherine Howarth and I played two trios for the Bathurst community during the 90th anniversary celebrations of the Bathurst Carillon and the Carillon Society of Australia Annual Meeting.

Carillon student

I have been studying the carillon. This weekend I achieved the milestone of being able to transition from playing the practice clavier to being able to climb the tower to play the carillon so that the residents of Bathurst can hear. What an exciting milestone! I am grateful to my teacher Lyn Fuller OAM, Head Carillonist at the National Carillon in Canberra.
