In addition, Angela is Principal 2nd Violin of Willoughby Symphony Orchestra.
Her extensive teaching experience includes holding the position as Head of Strings K-12 at Moriah College from 2002 - 2007. Angela has a busy private studio, and is in demand as a string tutor and adjudicator at Sydney's top schools.
The LEPSSE is a sub-committee of the P&C and is run by parent volunteers. It offers students from Years 3 to 6 the opportunity to experience playing in a group and performing in public. Rehearsing once a week during lunch times, the Ensemble performs twice per term at a variety of events including school assemblies; The McDonald’s Eisteddfod; Festival On The Green and the local Community Preschool.
Students must have a minimum 12 months experience before joining the ensemble and so children from the Infants school are encouraged to start tuition before moving into Primary. A list of teachers in the local area is available here (to be added)
