Dr John A Phillips

Dr John Phillips offers expert tuition in piano, voice, theory, composition, musicology, with over 30 years experience teaching students of all ages. I hold a PhD in historical musicology, BMus(Hons) in piano, having undertaken extensive overseas study and research (including piano, conducting, vocal coaching, composition). I have had extensive experience at university and amateur level conducting and ensemble training, solo, accompanying and repetiteur work, and over 30 years of AMEB- and HSC-oriented piano and vocal teaching. I am a member of both SA and NSW Music Teacher Associations and hold a current WWCC. I also have extensive links with the professional world, having worked with major orchestras and conductors, including the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic Orchestras, Nicholas Harnoncourt and Simon Rattle. I am a contributing editor of both old and new Bruckner Complete Editions (Vienna); my completion of the Bruckner Ninth Symphony has been widely performed and recorded internationally. I have a longstanding association with the Musicological Society of Australia as former National Secretary and current Awards Chair, and in 2019 was given the DJS award for Voluntary Services to Musicology in Australia
