🎶 Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to meet the man who’s making music magic from down under to up north! 🎶

Introducing the one and only Vaughan Fleischfresser! But don’t let that last name scare you away; he’s all about bringing the joy of music into the world.

Hailing from the sunny town of Kingaroy, Australia, Vaughan now calls the picturesque Peebles, Scotland, his home. And boy, does he know how to make some sweet tunes! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Vaughan’s musical journey has taken him on quite the adventure. He’s been a music maestro at some of the finest institutions across the globe, from the historic halls of The University of Edinburgh and George Heriots School in the UK, to the sunny campuses of Brisbane Girls Grammar School and the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in his homeland, Australia. Vaughan is the conductor extraordinaire of the premier Wind Band in Australia’s largest Young Conservatorium program. His love affair with music began with the saxophone in the Land Down Under, and he’s been serenading audiences ever since. 🎷

With not one but two Bachelor Degrees in Music and Education from the Queensland University of Technology, Vaughan’s got the education to back up his musical prowess. And he didn’t stop there; he went on to snag a Master of Music Education degree from VanderCook College of Music in Chicago, specializing in Wind Band and Choral Education. 🎓

Now, you can find Vaughan sharing his passion for music as a Teacher of Music at The Edinburgh Academy. And if that’s not enough, he’s also the talented conductor of the Peebles Concert Band and The Edinburgh University Female Voice Choir.

When he’s not busy in the classroom or on the podium, Vaughan’s got quite the gig as an adjudicator and educational speaker. He’s a musical jack-of-all-trades!

So, tune in and get ready to groove to the beat of Vaughan’s incredible journey through the world of music. It’s going to be one heck of a musical adventure!
