“I participated in a twelve-hour conducting intensive hosted by clinician Roland Yeung. Roland offered a more personalised and intimate setting and provided all participants with fundamental skills regarding posture and physical alignment, technique and tools for expression and direction. Personally, I benefitted greatly from an overview such as this and enjoyed the contrasting format; focused sessions on you and your chosen work, as well as group observation and effort with other pieces. This structure meant I noted a marked improvement in my skills each day. Roland created a nurturing environment; imbuing the workshop with his enthusiasm, expertise, flexibility and compassion.” Lyn Spiteri, Instrumental Music Teacher Thomas Carr College, and Assistant Conductor Westgate Concert Band
“At the heart of Roland’s approach to teaching is an absolute dedication to the independence of his pupils. He is able to connect with the goals of each student that he mentors, and adjust and moderate his teachings to suit that person. He remains constantly engaged and cheerful to such an extent that mistakes and errors seem not to occur—yet the student is always learning ways and areas in which to improve. Roland’s ability to breakdown his own artistic process as means of example is at once inspiring and enlightening.” Stuart Andrew, recently graduated B.Mus from University of Melbourne
