About

Who we are ?

Rockschool Regional Representative Brad Fuller is a bassist and music educator. He joined his first Rock ‘n’ Roll band at the age of 15 and began playing professionally a month later.

He toured New South Wales and Queensland for 18 months after leaving school and became a Jazzer by attending the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and later, the Victorian College of the Arts. Brad moved to Sydney in 1994 to continue to work as a professional musician touring the Asia Pacific region. He believes he has played every type of gig at least once from Greek Weddings to the Acer Arena.

Brad is a passionate Music Educator and began his career teaching Electric Bass Guitar at the famous “Bass Player” store in Sydney in 1994 and adding classroom music teaching in 1996. He holds a Master of Adult Education and attained the highest accolades in his 10 years as Head of Music at Oxford Falls Grammar School including the ASG National Excellence in Teaching award. His proudest achievement is his Top of State Award gained by completing a Rockschool Grade 8 Bass Exam – an award that wasn’t invented when he picked up the bass guitar as a 15 year old.

Brad has a long association with Rockschool having overseen the largest Rockschool centre in Australasia for 7 years at Oxford Falls Grammar School. The school used all of the Rockschool syllabi and materials with their students and Brad is excited to have an opportunity to share the knowledge he gained during that time in his role with Rockschool.

Alongside Rockschool, Brad lectures at the Australian Institute of Music (AIM), conducts teacher training for Teacher Training Australia (TTA) and is an associate of the Sydney Centre for Innovative Learning (NBCS).
