Gold Coast Institute of TAFE Diploma of Music graduate Bree De Rome is a step closer to realising her dream of becoming an international act after being accepted into the Bachelor of Popular Music at Griffith University this year. Bree from our Gold Coast Hinterland said she felt TAFE was the right choice for her after being home schooled.
“I felt comfortable in the learning environment and made many new friends. “My TAFE teachers also helped me to discover there is another dimension of music and opened my mind to all genres. “I was introduced to the world of jazz and discovered Ella Fitzgerald who I really admire. “I know if I had gone straight to university I would not have been so well prepared to cope with the workload.
“After TAFE I feel I have the knowledge to give me a head start and I know I am now up for the challenge,” she said.
Bree is not your normal 16 year-old as she is an up and coming singer and song writer who has an obsession with the Beatles.
Ms De Rome’s inspirations are many including her mum who is a country music fan, her brother who taught her guitar and her sister who introduced her to the Beatles.
Bree said at just 10 years old she performed in her first country music talent quest
“At 14 I was selected to attend Tamworth’s exclusive Camarata Country Music School.
I have already had some amazing experiences from singing Waltzing Matilda at the opening of the 2008 Gold Coast Indy to performing in the top 24 singer/songwriter showcase at this year’s Country Music Festival in Tamworth.
“I am now really looking forward to the next phase of my life and getting used to the university way of life,” she said.
