Conservatorium mentors provide support and guidance
to new students. Their role is to make your transition
into university as easy and non-confronting as
possible.
In essence, mentors are a 'friendly face' around
campus. They are someone you can chat to if you're
feeling at a loose end, and they can give you
advice and moral support when you feel stressed
about your experiences in Music.
Mentors cannot provide academic
assistance and aren't counsellors if you are having
big emotional or personal problems. The University
of Tasmania provides special services for these
issues (see Counselling
or other links on Where
To Find Help and Information). Mentors can
help you find out where you can go for help.

Suzette Pullinger

Hey all!
My name is Suzette Pullinger and I am currently in my second year of Music and Law. My dream is to compose Music for Movie soundtracks one day or to become a Human rights lawyer (Yes, it’s a random combination I know!)
I finished my AMus. in classical piano when I was 18 but following this I decided to study Contemporary piano at the Conservatorium. I have grown to love it and I am extremely happy with the decision I have made. There are so many amazing people that helped me through my transition and I hope I can help some of you guys in the same way!
If you have any questions about jumping between two campuses with a double degree or just about Music in general, I would be more than happy to help! Just remember to make the most of your degree and take in all the opportunities that get thrown your way. These are the best years of your life, so get keen and make some amazing music!

| How
does the mentor program work? |
|
|
| In the Conservatorium's mentoring
program, we focus on giving guidance to groups
of students. Most mentors will make their email
address or some other form of contact available
to their group of students. They'll also be available
to chat about their experiences and answer any
questions you have. Importantly they can point
you in the right directions if your queries are
outside their brief.
If you are having problems or queries
it is up to you to get in touch with a mentor.
They'll be happy to help but they can't know you're
having some problems unless you let them know.
Stay in touch– they're an approachable and friendly
lot of people!
