Sue has been ‘hooked on’ music from a young age. Since primary school she has been playing the piano (Grade VI Hons) and singing in choirs. As an experienced Music Specialist in the Farm Cove/ Bucklands Beach area, she has had the pleasure of conducting and organising local Music Festivals. Sue has also developed her skills as a choral conductor by attending national and international conferences.

Her vision and enthusiasm have given the City of Auckland Singers opportunities to participate in international choral festivals in Australia, Italy and Wales.
