About
Glenys Abrahams (Double bass AYO 1981) builds rewarding relationships in her job as an Advisory Visiting Teacher for hearing-impaired students in mainstream schools. ‘I’ve supported students from babies until high school. Over time you become one of the extended family. It’s a privilege to share the students’ milestones throughout their school years.’ Glenys is also interested in exploring how music and deafness co-exist, especially for children diagnosed with a profound hearing loss and fitted with cochlear implants. Glenys is supporting the next generation and acknowledging the opportunities she had as a young musician through a bequest to AYO. ‘I want to help foster the love of playing and where that leads. These committed musicians will go on to play in our orchestras and ensembles. They are the musicians of our future, bringing so much pleasure to others.’
