Joolee’s passion and talent for music were evident from a young age, leading her to attend The Conservatorium High School in Sydney, where she laid the foundation for her music career. Following her studies there, she was awarded a full entrance scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in London (RAM), where she earned a Bachelor of Music (Hons) and a Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music. At RAM, she studied under Katherine Baker and Patricia Morris. Now back in Australia, Joolee is in her final year of her Master of Music in Orchestral Performance at the Melbourne Conservatorium, under the tutelage of Lisa-Maree Amos.

Joolee has been invited to perform at the Sydney Opera House for Encore, the Government house, LSO St Luke’s and the Cadogan Hall in London. During her time at RAM, she premiered solo piccolo works by Gabriel Erkoreka and Zhenyan Li as part of RAM’s 200th Bicentenary, the latter was performed at the commemoration of William Bennett. Her musical highlights include playing Mahler’s Symphony No.2 with the Royal Academy of Music Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Festival Hall, under the baton of Semyon Bychkov and has also performed regularly with the Academy’s Opera Orchestra and Manson Ensemble.
