Morgan Veal

Hi, my name is Morgan and I teach drum-kit, percussion, songwriting and music theory. As a teacher, I am aware that each student learns in different ways, and thus I dedicate myself to ensure that I suit your learning needs. I have my own teaching studio with a drum-kit, marimba, and piano. I teach all ages.

BIOGRAPHY:
Awarded joint-second place in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra Snare Drum Award in 2018, Morgan Veal realised his passion for music at the age of 10, when he was given his first pair of Vic Firth drum sticks. Since then, he has performed as principal percussionist with Camerata for Queensland Ballet's Dangerous Liaisons Season and is a graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University.

Morgan has performed at established venues including the Queensland Performing Arts Concert Hall. In 2018, he played works from Shostakovich to Stravinsky with the Queensland Youth Symphony, under the baton of the late John Curro AM MBE. In the following year, he travelled to France where he studied and performed in the Eurocuivres Académie & Festival alongside Michael Burritt, American percussionist, and Jean-Baptiste Léclere, French principal percussionist of l’Opéra National de Paris.

Morgan currently teaches drum-kit and percussion at Sunshine Coast Grammar School, Grace Lutheran College, Northpine Christian College, and at his own private studio. He leads several percussion ensembles and was awarded Gold at the St Columban's College Concert Band Spectacular in 2023 for directing his ensemble.

In his spare time, Morgan is learning to play covers of songs on his guitar.
