ENDORSEMENT FROM PAULA DUNCAN, AM

 

I’ve had the great joy of knowing Blake Kearney for many years — not just as a close friend, but as a truly extraordinary musical talent and deeply compassionate human being. Blake has devoted years of service to my charitable causes, supporting people with disability, neurodiversity, and disadvantage. His generosity has been unwavering, sharing his time and expertise as my musical director and through countless performances for high-profile Australian and international celebrities, along with leading figures from the business and political world. Blake is one of the finest musicians I’ve worked with.

​

Blake’s academic and research work is equally inspiring. His current Master’s in Neuroscience builds on years of practical and scholarly exploration into how music supports cognitive development, as well as his pioneering study of how the brain processes pitch through the innovation of his Clear Pitch system — a groundbreaking method for teaching perfect pitch, which he delivers to students around the world.

His initiative to now share this work freely with his local community is a powerful example of Blake’s vision — research-driven, community-minded, and rooted in genuine care. His dedication to helping others discover their musical intelligence, particularly young people and those with additional needs, is extraordinary. I’m proud to support Blake and this important work.
