Dear all,

I'm from HK. I was offered a place to study master of piano performance in RCM for the coming September. However, I am currently considering to marry my fiance whom is living in Sydney,  could anyone of you give me information on SCM postgraduate course?

Further, is it hard to enrol in SCM? (because I didn't hear people around me studying there ?) As none of my referees are from SCM, would this lessen my opportunity?

Gerard Willems is well known, though I don't like his piano playing, dunno about his teaching.
Stephanie McCallum is also well known
I think Clemes Leske teachers there, I used to be taught by his father and have had a few masterclasses with him which were good.
Sydney's the biggest city in Aus so there's always gonna be something happening.  That's about all the info I can give ya.
Never look at the trombones. You'll only encourage them.

Thanks mikey6~

For my personal choice, finally my fiance, my parents and me have a compromise, thanks god and everyone! I am now preparing to study in RCM instead of SCM....though we have to separate apart for a while, we are going to get married next year during my summer vacation. Anyway, thanks for your help and suggestion as I may study pedagogy in SCM after finishing my RCM master degree.
