As a founding member of the Sydney Youth Orchestra, Stephen's interest and enthusiasm for music lead him to undertake further studies at Sydney University where formal training in both violin and composition were completed under former leader of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, John Harding and renowned Australian composer, Peter Sculthorpe respectively. Since that time, he has been invited to perform with such groups as The ABC Sinfonia, The Badinerie Players, The Queensland Philharmonic Orchestra, The Queensland Symphony Orchestra, The Queensland Pops Orchestra and Corda Spiritus.

Stephen holds a Master of Music from Queensland Conservatorium of Music Griffith University specialising in violin performance and pedagogy. He is also an examiner for the Australian Music Examination Board (AMEB). In addition to this, Stephen performs regularly with a number of professional chamber ensembles. Stephen publishes a number of string compositions and arrangements which have been used as test pieces for a number of competitions throughout Australia and are also presented as examination pieces for the AMEB. Stephen has been invited many times to adjudicate various eisteddfods and competitions such as Queensland Festival of Music, The Western Australian Schools Orchestra Festival, The Hobart Eisteddfod and the Gold Coast Eisteddfod. He is also in demand as a string and orchestral clinician, regularly conducting a number of workshops and festivals both nationally and internationally including the Melbourne Youth Music Summer School, the Sunwater and Stanwell Winter Music School and the All State Senior Orchestra in New Mexico, USA.

Stephen is a past National President of The Australian Strings Association (AUSTA) and formerly a lecturer in String Pedagogy and Practicum at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Griffith University. From 2008 - 2013, he was the conductor of the BEL faculty Chamber Orchestra at the University of Queensland. Stephen is presently Principal String Teacher and Director of Orchestras at Brisbane Grammar School.

Vibrato

2nd finger p in forward posi on. 2nd finger p in backward posi on

Vibrato is used to give notes greater vitality or depth of tone. It is produced when the pitch of

a note changes slightly yet rapidly by the rocking ac on of the finger p (see images below).

Your teacher will be able to explain how this is best done on your instrument.

However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when doing vibrato:

1. Keep both arms very relaxed.

2. Prac se the rocking ac on on a smooth surface such as a table.

3. The le thumb and vibra ng finger p only gently touch the instrument.

4. Imagine there is a suc on cap at the end of the rocking finger p.

5. The instrument must remain s ll as the finger p rocks back and forth.

6. Violinists or violists may imagine they are shaking their fists.

7. Cellists and bassists could picture themselves bouncing a basketball.

8. The whole arm arches elegantly with the wrist bending out slightly.

Accidental - an accidental is usually a flat, sharp or natural sign that is placed

before a note to alter its pitch. It is not generally put in front of a note that is

already affected by the key signature and lasts only for the dura on of the bar.

An accidental in a bracket is known as courtesy accidental and normally acts as a

reminder a er an accidental has been used in a previous bar.
