​

Molly is highly regarded as a teacher, chamber music coach and mentor.

For the past 21 years she has taught cello performance and chamber music to students at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and in 2007 also served as Acting Head of Strings. In 2019 she was a Senior Lecturer at the Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University and has also tutored students at The Australian National Academy of Music and Monash University.

​

Molly's musical knowledge and her own experiences as a professional musician help create her philosophy of cello playing which also stems from the inspiration and wisdom she received from some of the most well-known and respected pedagogues and professors in the United States, Britain and Germany (Irene Sharp, Laurence Lesser, Joan Dickson and Wolfgang Boettcher). She implements a healthy, balanced and practical approach to the setup, sound quality and the technical individual needs of each student.

​

She enjoys working with students of all ages and abilities including adult learners and has coached various chamber music ensembles, directed and led large cello groups and string orchestras including the Melbourne University Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra 21 and the Southbank Players. She has tutored various youth ensembles including ACO Academy, Australian Youth Orchestra and the  Strike a Chord chamber music competition, serving often as an auditioner, adjudicator and jury member.
