ABOUT LAYLA
Layla began playing the flute by the Suzuki method at 4 years of age. Since this time, Layla has gained experience performing as a soloist and as part of an ensemble at Suzuki festivals (both locally and interstate), Adelaide State Music Camp, school performances and busking opportunities. She has enjoyed masterclasses and ensembles led by various interstate and international guest tutors.
Layla has competed in, and won, several awards, in the Adelaide Eisteddfods both as a soloist and a duet performer. Layla has enjoyed performing with her siblings all who play musical instruments.
Since starting at St Peter’s Girls’ school earlier this year, Layla has embraced the performing opportunities this has provided, and is looking forward to visiting Canberra to perform together with multiple schools later in the year. Into the future, Layla is excited to learn more advanced repertoire and techniques and perform as part of ensembles and as a soloist, as opportunity arises. Layla is always keen to perform and gain musical experiences and is thrilled to be performing with Recitals Australia.
