About Me
Rosalind

musical family and showed precocious talent at very early
age, singing before she could speak. She studied music
majoring in voice and piano. She became a high school
music teacher in N-S. W and Queensland. Along with learning
piano she showed aptitude for all aspects of music but her
great love was singing. In early adulthood she pursued a
career in opera.
