Steve Bourke

Steve has been a working musician since his teens. After the usual suburban piano lessons, he headed out to accompany singers, arrange and play in big bands and also write and play in jazz bands. His understanding of Jazz Harmony comes from a hands–on education from this wealth of experience. He also took improvisation lessons from Mike Nock. He is currently working with several bands, including Continental bands, a jazz combo with bass and various singers, and solo & duo work.

Having worked in the music publishing industry for many years, he is a lover of the printed form. He composes, arranges and also writes theory texts that are used for training students and teachers alike.

Steve composes 2 pianos, 4 hands works to perform with his wife, Glen Harvey.

Glen Harvey

Glen studied classical piano, classical theory and musicianship (AMEB) until entry to the Music Faculty at University of Qld at St Lucia. She was unable to finish her degree, but has been an active teacher to this day. She has taught piano beginners of all ages, and insists on combining theory lessons with practical lessons, making the written form relevant to the playing ability of each student.

Glen now specialises in teaching piano beginners of all ages and also teaches theory for AMEB examinations.
