Sean Studied music at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney, and has been an active member of Sydney's improvised music scene the past 10 years.
Sean has been teaching privately and in schools the last 10 years, with a particular focus on preparing high school students for their final exams - focusing on finding each student's individual strengths and interests, and helping them to express themselves through their music. His focus in teaching has always been to foster in each student a love for playing and learning music, and to help each student find their voice on their instrument.
He has played in a huge variety of ensembles, but is most at home in small jazz combos, where improvisation and communication are the focus of the music. Sean also has plenty of experience playing in rock and metal bands, RnB groups, orchestras, musical theatre pits and wedding bands.
Electric and Double Bass are his specialties, and he is also at home on the guitar, mandolin, and saxophone.
