Malcolm Liddell

Malcolm Ian Liddell is a highly skilled and experienced Musician, Conductor, Manager and Brass Teacher with a career spanning a diverse range of music genres and locations in Australia and internationally. He is a Graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music - Griffith University with a Master's Degree in Music Performance & Pedagogy, majoring in Trumpet. Malcolm has a long standing involvement with the music education industry, classical music performance, symphony orchestras, theatre and ballet production companies, contemporary musical events, brass ensembles, jazz ensembles and rock music productions. His extensive experience in conducting and managing Primary and Secondary level concert bands, jazz ensembles and brass ensembles as well as Tertiary and Professional level brass ensembles gives him a very well informed view of what is required in the pursuit of excellence expressed in music performance.

My teaching style speaks to 'the  pursuit of excellence' in all things, catering for the beginner to the most advanced student. I seek to nurture and encourage all students regardless of their experience, knowledge or skill level.  For each student this can mean, for example,  achieving a 'personal best' in any category of performance  and/or musicianship on any given day. This approach can potentially drive a student forward with incremental improvements, which in turn can build confidence and enjoyment.
