Alan Moxey, music teacher, was a regular visitor to the Fortitude Valley State Schools accompanied by pianist Nora Baird, also a music teacher. One past pupil states: "Mr Moxey moved us up the back with the 'croakers' when our voice broke. About six of us were under threat of dire penalties if we uttered a note. And rightly so. 

Mr. Moxey had this disconcerting habit of rolling his eyes up into his head when singing. You could only see the whites of his eyes. Still can`t remember any of the songs we sang. Anyone recall? What about 'Men of Harlech'? That rings a bell."
