Ian Porter Music

Ian Porter is a Sydney-based community musician who brings the social joys and technical skills of music to a broad audience. Using the ukulele and voice as tools, Ian leverages off his love of music and earlier study at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to bring out the inner musician in all his students. He is  also a certified James Hill Ukulele Initiative teacher, Founding Secretary of the Australian Ukulele Teachers and Leaders Association Inc. and Musical Director of The Australian Ukulele Orchestra. In 2019  Ian started the Annual Willoughby Ukulele Orchestra workshop to explore multi-part arrangements using the ukulele. See the events section for more details of upcoming workshops this year
