Maddie Colvin (she/her) is a portfolio career percussionist working as a multi-faceted performer and educator based in Boorloo (Perth, Western Australia). Although she is classically trained with a Bachelor of Music degree with First Class Honours from the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), her musical interests are explored beyond the orchestral stage including chamber ensembles, managing community events and dabbling in composition.

​

Maddie's musical experiences have included being a member of the multi award-winning Defying Gravity Percussion Ensemble, performing with WA Youth Orchestra, Perth Symphony Orchestra, Fremantle Symphony Orchestra, WA Wind Symphony and Perth Thundercorps drumline, as well as being part of musical theatre shows and multiple chamber ensemble projects, including being the General Manager of Marimbafest Australia for three years. Maddie currently works as a percussion tutor across Perth schools.

​

Over the years, Maddie has been grateful to have been under the tutelage of Tim White OAM, Dr Paul Tanner, Marcus Perrozzi, Genevieve Wilkins and Rosie Taylor. During her musical endeavours, she has also received mentorship from world renowned artists such as Michael Askill, Robert Oetomo, Fiona Digney, Clare Edwardes, Kana Omori and Timothy Constable – some of whom she has been lucky enough to perform alongside.
