Jarrod is driven by his passion to leverage the musical vernacular of those around him to elicit strong emotional responses and to inspire curiosity a desire to make music in increasingly complex and expressive ways.
In 2019, Jarrod was awarded a scholarship to attend the International Boys School Coalition conference “Boys and the Arts: Great Minds, Big Hearts” in Montreal, to explore Canadian and American band programs with aural-vocal foundations, and to attend Northwestern University’s Summer Conducting Symposium in Chicago.

Carla Trott is a classroom music specialist committed to teaching and learning using an aural-based, sequential program. Based in Sydney, Carla is highly regarded both across Australia and internationally, with regular engagements to present musicianship and pedagogy workshops.
Carla is a highly skilled practitioner across the full range of schooling levels from kindergarten through to the senior years.

A passionate believer in making music education accessible to all, Carla co-founded the Emerging Music Teachers Network in 2015. This group aims to provide free resources via online workshops, support and mentor early-career teachers to develop confidence in the classroom and, ultimately, enable high quality music programs.
