About

This is a hobby art form and if we’re not enjoying the process, we’re doing it wrong. I’m a 3x Barbershop Harmony Australia Gold Medalist and I’ve represented Australia at Barbershop Harmony Society International in 2016, 2023, and 2024. I’ve also lived the long, real development arc: I came up from a quartet scoring in the 50s all the way to 81.4 in 2025. That experience shapes how I coach - clear priorities, practical rehearsal tools, and steady, measurable progress. My specialties are musicality, group dynamics, and performance craft: taking a song from “correct notes and words” to a cohesive, confident package that communicates and entertains. Through coaching weekends with Mixed Signals, I’ve had the chance to work with ensembles across the Eastern and Tasmanian regions - something I see as a meaningful way to give back after benefiting from so much coaching and mentorship over the years. I look forward to helping ensembles connect more deeply with their music, with each other, and with their audience.

Crystal Sound

quartet

Crystal Sound had a fantastic coaching session with Lindsay. He asked us what we wanted from him on the day and we got what we asked for and more. We chose Lindsay due to his experience and success as the lead in Mixed Signals, the National BHA champions. We wanted to enhance our contest songs and Lindsay gave us a new confident entry into our up-tune along with a method to ensure audience engagement. He helped us portrait our story in both songs with real emotions and vigor. We found him to be kind with his words and encouraging as he gave us his amazing advice. We will be asking him to coach us again in the near future and recommend him whole heartedly. Thank you, Lindsay.
