Director

Professor Bernard Lanskey

Donna Weston
Deputy Director
(Learning and Teaching)

A/Prof Donna Weston

From classically trained pianist to studies in audio engineering, to head of a popular music degree is not a usual career pathway, and yet this is exactly the path followed by Associate Professor Donna Weston. She has a personal commitment to supporting all kinds of music, and is passionate about not valuing one more than another—as she says, ‘there are infinite music listeners, and musical venues, and circumstances in which music takes place; thank goodness there is plenty of music to suit all of them.’
