For Joanne Trewick nothing is more important in her career than her students and she has used music for nearly three decades to teach invaluable lessons.

She runs the Mossman based ‘Music with Joanne Trewick’ - a vibrant studio offering individual music lessons tailored to personal learning requirements and interests, but most of all fun and enjoyment as they learn.

Last week her music students enjoyed their term three showcase at the Shire Hall with family and friends treated to a large variety of music from latest hits to classics.

She is regarded as one of the best teachers in the Mossman and Port Douglas region and students love having her as a mentor in music.

Her students have enjoyed great success in recent years at the Cairns and District Junior Eisteddfod, in Australian Music Examination Board, Trinity College of London and Con Brio instrumental and theory examinations.

Her studio is a nursery which has seen many past students going on to become professional musicians, community musicians or music teachers themselves, one goal clear in Trewick’s mind when it comes to her education for students.

“I hope for every student to become a lifelong musician in any way that is meaningful to them," she said.

“Learning programs are very individualised as no two students have the same goals, aspirations or learning styles.

“Many performance opportunities are offered throughout the year to encourage all students to find the satisfaction and confidence that comes from sharing their music with others.”

Their major event in the Annual Recital and Awards night for Trewick’s young musicians is being held on October 23 and Trewick says that everybody is welcome with last year’s event being huge.

“Last year we had eighty performers and over 500 people in the audience,” she said.

“Come along, you will love it.”
