The Australian Army Band is made up of 11 separate bands, both regular and reserve, located all around Australia. Army bands can be found in each capital city as well as in Wagga Wagga, Townsville and Newcastle.

The Australian Army Band is tasked with maintaining Esprit De Corps among troops, as well as engaging with the community, and being the public face of the Army.

Bands contribute directly to the wellbeing of the Army and the community through participation in Military ceremonies and parades, Regal, Vice-Regal, Federal, State and Territory Government ceremonial functions, music education programs, concerts and community activities. 

The Admiral's Own Big Band is comprised of musicians from the Royal Australian Navy's Sydney and Melbourne full-time band corp. 

As the name suggests, our first feature album "Compositions"  features original compositions by members of the Royal Australian Navy Band. 

This is the first time the Royal Australian Navy Band has produced an album of purely original music showcasing the capability of our big band. We are very pleased with the result and hope you enjoy listening and sharing our music. 

I am a sing songwriter. I tend to write emotive ballads. I write from personal experiences. Song writing has always been a form of therapy for me.
My influences include Alicia keys, John legend, bill withers, Tracy Chapman and Nina Simone. although my music seems to sound more like Pete Murray, Robbie Williams and George Michael.

A composer of chamber and orchestral music, I live in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.  I am an Associate Professor of Music and co-ordinator of composition at the University of Tasmania Conservatorium of Music in Hobart.

The Melbourne Composers’ League is a non‐profit organization with charitable status, which works with national and international organisations that are interested in promoting the indigenous and contemporary art music of Australia in an Asian‐Pacific context. It was formed principally to further the interests of composers working within Melbourne and regional Victoria, but has expanded to include associate members from interstate. The Melbourne Composers’ League creates idealistic and inspiring projects of the highest artistic calibre and is affiliated with the Asian Composers’ League, which is the most vibrant and active contemporary music organization in the Asia-Pacific region today.
