Compositions28/5/2025 As of this year, my compositions are being published by Wirripang, the largest independent sheet music publisher of Australian music. This is a very exciting moment for me, I've restructured my work to enable more composition time, and I've already heard about students who are learning these pieces! You can check out more of my music at https://www.australiancomposers.com.au/search?q=rachel+hocking and/or have a listen at https://soundcloud.com/rhockmusic. I'm excited to add that I'm also now a represented composer with the Australian Music Centre - check out their website here https://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/artist/hocking-rachel  My BlogReflections/news on music, piano and music teaching, and anything else that pops up.
