Musical Director - Mayuka Juber

​

Mayuka Juber started her musical education learning piano and then classical guitar, but it was the clarinet that became the obsessive focus of her teenage years. After completing a sound classical music education at Churchlands Senior High School, she went on to complete a Bachelor of Music (Jazz) at WAAPA.

It was later on whilst studying education at UWA that Mayuka discovered she loved "waving a stick" and all the joys that accompany making music with concert bands.

​

In her quest to further her conducting abilities she participated in many conducting courses over the years, including mentorship from  Christopher Seaman and conducting the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra as part of the Symphony Services International program.

In the past twenty years, Mayuka has mostly worked for the Department of Education and is a Senior Teacher, specialising in classroom music, conducting and woodwind (with Instrumental Music School Services). She has played in and conducted jazz bands, choirs, concert bands, mixed ensembles in the community and high schools. She was Music Director of Combined Districts Concert Band for four years, preparing them for many community performances, themed concerts and State and National Band Championships.

Music is Mayuka's profession and hobby - she can be seen at festivals and events performing on clarinet and saxophone, and in her spare time she can be found lurking in a store cupboard looking for an instrument that she has yet to play.
