Mr Muller credits his invitation to apply and audition to attending State Honours Ensemble Program (SHEP), music courses and regular practice.
His audition was judged by a panel at Griffith University and from this he was chosen.
“I was chosen for consistently showing enthusiasm and passion for not only playing the trombone, but the music in its entirety.”
