Introducing Toby Owen – Our New Cello Teacher
We’re pleased to introduce Toby Owen as the newest member of the Kilbreda College Music Department, joining us as our Cello Teacher. Toby brings a thoughtful and enthusiastic approach to teaching, and is passionate about helping students discover the joy of playing cello.


“I started playing cello as part of my school’s music program in 2019. Somewhat new to music, I practised my tiny little heart out to join as many of the music groups as I could. My love for music and cello has only grown since then, and I now aim to widen my experience by entering the teaching world. I also love learning, maths and science being something I enjoy perhaps too much. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Science and Diploma in Music at the University of Melbourne, and aim to venture into Biomedical Engineering.” – Toby Owen
