Mater moments

Mieke loves composing works for wind instruments and small ensembles that focus on a sense of fun, and letting the colour of the instruments really shine.

"I am currently working on a multi-movement composition about different dinosaurs. I believe a fun subject matter like this can draw in a wider listening range and make classical music more accessible to the average person."

Music is well and truly a part of Mieke's soul, having played piano since she was four years old. She also studied the Clarinet and Saxophone at University and the Bassoon, independently 'as a passion project.'

Having taught piano for a number of years, with students of all ages and skill level, Mieke enjoys helping students to find their niche in music and have fun playing and learning. She teaches students who wish to do AMEB exams as well as those who choose to play for fun.
