Adrian Alexander

Adrian brings a wealth of experience as a musician, educator, arts and educational manager, a consultant, an inventor, and a specialist in a broad range of digital technologies.

His teaching career spanned 19 years in the classroom, and involved many disciplines, including music, physics, electronics, and mathematics. Adrian was also heavily engaged in educational leadership and management in secondary schools.

Adrian was appointed the Manager of the Alfred Brash Soundhouse at the Arts Centre in Melbourne in 1992, broadening the offer and reach of the facility over another 19 years. He served as Chairman of the Soundhouse Music Alliance board for 16 years.  During that time he played a pivotal role in expanding the Soundhouse network across Australia and internationally.

His work included inventing the Soundhouse Special Access Kit, developed around the invention of the Banana Keyboard, to facilitate music creation for those with disabilities, and assisting to promote its use by music therapists across Australia and abroad.

Adrian has forged many partnerships within the music industry, philanthropy, the education and community sectors. His current focus is on the continuous growth of Music For All. He maintains links with teachers, music therapists, and continues to incorporate new technologies to enhance the creative process.

Adrian enjoys working in his recording studio, and has a voracious appetite for learning. This extends to skill building on multiple instruments across a wide variety of styles and genres, as well as in live and studio digital sound and lighting technologies. He thrives on live playing, and works with several diverse acts across the Sunshine Coast.
